Strong's Lexicon niqqud: Dots, points, or markings Original Word: נִקֻּד Word Origin: Derived from the root נָקַד (naqad), meaning "to mark" or "to punctuate." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "niqqud" as the Greek language uses a different alphabet and vowel system. However, the concept of textual preservation and pronunciation can be related to Greek terms like "γραμμα" (gramma, G1121) meaning "letter" or "writing." Usage: In the context of the Hebrew language, "niqqud" refers to the system of diacritical marks used to represent vowels or to indicate pronunciation in the Hebrew script. These marks are essential for understanding the correct pronunciation and meaning of Hebrew words, especially in the absence of written vowels in the original Hebrew text. Cultural and Historical Background: The niqqud system was developed by the Masoretes between the 6th and 10th centuries CE to preserve the pronunciation and reading tradition of the Hebrew Bible. Before this system, Hebrew was written without vowels, relying on oral tradition for pronunciation. The introduction of niqqud was crucial for maintaining the integrity of the biblical text as it was transmitted through generations.
