Towards Better Davening and Torah Reading
The Audible HEI
A HEI with a vowel sounds like an H.
HEI without a vowel, both at the end of a word or in the middle - is silent. Like an ALEF. Not heard at all.
HEI with a MAPIK (dot) in it, occurs only at the end of a word, and is heard. HEI with a SH'VA under it - the SH'VA is always NACH and the HEI is sounded - exactly as if it had a MAPIK in it. In Lech L'cha, VEH-YEI, LIH-YOT
