Towards Better Davening and Torah Reading

Watch your SH'VAs
SHO-F'TIM V'SHO-T'RIM
The SH'VAs are NA, sound like short vowels, and begin their syllables. The PEI and TET belong with TIM and RIM- not to SIN and SIN.
This occurs often. In the Amida, for example:NO-F'LIM, SHO-F'TEINU, O-Y'VECHA, O-Y'VIM, SO-F'REIHEM, LI-SHU-A-S'CHA, v'li-ru-shayim I-R'CHA and more
