Learner‑friendly consonants

• ח ,ע — softened toward light versions (/χ/~/h/, glottal /ʔ/ or deletion); avoid emphatic pharyngeals as distinctive targets.

• ר — tapped /ɾ/ (never a retroflex or uvular trill in teaching norms).

• כ — always /k/ (no fricative allophone unless explicitly marked as a separate loan grapheme in future revisions).

• Stress is predictable on the final syllable of the verb theme vowel in tense stems (see dictionary IPA lines).

Transparency principle

One letter ↔ one intended phoneme in Orin teaching norms; exceptions are documented per lemma.
