Zere

Zeire (also spelled Tsere, Tzeirei, Zere, Ṣerî, Ṣerê etc.; Hebrew: צֵירֵי, sometimes צירה) is a Hebrew niqqud vowel sign represented by two dots "ֵ" underneath a letter. In modern Hebrew, it indicates the phoneme /e/ which is the same as the "e" sound in sell and is transliterated as an "e". In modern Hebrew, a Zeire makes the same sound as a Segol, but it's shorter.
