Err...
I *think* what you're talking about is vowels in the Hebrew language. And its true, they have some kinda weird system of doing vowels. I remember reading somewhere that except in the most holiest occassions, Jews are not supposed to say the name YHWH when written in the scriptures, and in order to remind Jews not to pronounce the word, the vowel sounds that corresponded with the word "Adonai" were written beneath YHWH (because they were supposed to say "Adonai" instead of YHWH) Many scholars have speculated that this is the reason that YHWH came to be pronounced "Yahweh"--a combination of YHWH and the vowel sounds that go with the word "Adonai"
