	As I recall, some letters in Hebrew are used as vowels
in some contexts; these are called "matres lectionis"
(reading aids).

	There has long been another vowel detection
algorithm.  I believe it's 
called "the consonant line" method; one can find it in
Helen Fouché Gaines' 
*[Elementary] Cryptanalysis*.
