Etymology

From Hebrew קְרֵי.

Noun

k'rei

  1. The form of a word in a Hebrew text as it is traditionally pronounced when read aloud, when the written form (k'tiv) differs.
    • 2001, David L. Lieber, Jules Harlow, Etz Hayim: Torah and Commentary, page xix:
      Furthermore, as the reader may know, the Hebrew text's k'tiv (written tradition) and k'rei (reading tradition) differ for occasional words; where this occurs, our edition first prints that word's k'tiv letters in small type, followed by the pointed k'rei letters in normal text type.
