Template:U:he:qamats-o-excessive-spelling

According to the words with a Qamatz Qaṭan or Ḥaṭaf Qamatz should not be spelled with vav  when writing unpointed Hebrew text, unless it alternates with a Ḥolam in another form of the word. In informal Hebrew this rule is sometimes ignored since it is hard for speakers to differentiate between words pronounced with because of a qamatz and the rest.
