Kubutz

Kubutz (Hebrew: קֻבּוּץ‎ IPA: [kuˈbuts]) and Shuruk (Hebrew: שׁוּרוּק‎ IPA: [ʃuˈʁuk]) are the two Hebrew niqqud vowel signs that represent the sound [u].

The Kubutz sign is represented by three diagonal dots "ֻ" underneath a letter.

The Shuruk is the letter Vav with a dot in the middle and to the left of it. The dot is identical to the grammatically different signs Dagesh and Mappiq, but in a fully vocalized text it is practically impossible to confuse them: Shuruk itself is a vowel sign, so if the letter before the Waw doesn't have its own vowel sign, then the Waw with the dot is a Shuruk and otherwise it is a Waw with a Dagesh or a Mappiq. Furthermore, the Mappiq only appears at the end of the word and only in the letter He (ה) in modern Hebrew and in the Bible it sometimes appears in Aleph (א) and only in some Bible manuscripts it appears in the letter Waw, for example in the word גֵּוּ ('torso') [ɡev]. Compare for example Waw with Dagesh in מְגֻוָּן [məɡuvˈvan] 'varied' (without niqqud: מגוון) as opposed to Shuruk in מִגּוּן [miɡˈɡun] 'protection' (without niqqud: מיגון); see also orthographic variants of Waw.
