I would like to know whether a vocal sh'va is indicated in the text with a specific sign or point. Specifically, is a letter with sh'va following a historical long vowel considered vocal? Is a sh'va under a letter with dagesh forte marked as vocal. What about a sh'va following a short vowel which in complete masoretic form also has a metheg? Finally, how is a kamatz katan (kametz khatuf) printed?
