According to Ghil'ad Zuckermann, the lack of "nikúd" in what he calls "Israeli" (Modern Hebrew) often results in "mispronunciations". For example, the Israeli lexical item מתאבנים is often pronounced as "mitabním" (literally "becoming fossilized (masculine plural)") instead of "metaavním" "appetizers", the latter deriving from תאבון "teavón" "appetite", whereas the former deriving from אבן "éven" "stone". Another example is the toponym מעלה אדומים, which is often pronounced as "maalé edomím" instead of "maalé adumím", the latter appearing in the Hebrew Bible (Joshua 15:7 and 18:17). The hypercorrect "yotvetá" is used instead of "yotváta" for the toponym יטבתה, mentioned in Deuteronomy 10:7. The surname of American actress Farrah Fawcett (פארה פוסט) is often pronounced "fost" instead of "fóset" by many Israelis.
