- Ktiv haser: a style of Hebrew spelling that uses neither diacritics (except sometimes sparingly) nor extra vowel letters (compared to traditional spelling); contrasted with כְּתִיב מָלֵא (k'tív malé), which also doesn't use the diacritics, but which compensates by using vowel letters more heavily.
