Qamatz (Hebrew: קָמַץ) is a Hebrew niqqud (vowel) sign represented by two perpendicular lines (looking like an uppercase T) "ָ" underneath a letter. In modern Hebrew (Sephardi/Israeli), it usually indicates the phoneme /a/ which is the same as the "a" sound in far and is transliterated as an "a" and thus its sound is identical to the sound of pataḥ in modern Hebrew. In some cases it indicates the phoneme /o/, equal to the sound of holam.
