Etymology
From כְּתִיב (k'tív) + מָלֵא (malé); hence literally "full spelling".
Noun
כְּתִיב מָלֵא • (k'tív malé) m
- Ktiv male: a style of Hebrew spelling that doesn't use diacritics (except sometimes sparingly), but that compensates for this absence by using vowel letters more heavily than in traditional spelling; contrasted with כְּתִיב חָסֵר (k'tív khasér), which also doesn't use the diacritics, but which doesn't use vowel letters as heavily.
