However, the concept of textual preservation and pronunciation can be related to Greek terms like "γραμμα" (gramma, G1121) meaning "letter" or "writing."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>In the context of the Hebrew language, "niqqud" refers to the system of diacritical marks used to represent vowels or to indicate pronunciation in the Hebrew script. These marks are essential for understanding the correct pronunciation and meaning of Hebrew words, especially in the absence of written vowels in the original Hebrew text.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>The niqqud system was developed by the Masoretes between the 6th and 10th centuries CE to preserve the pronunciation and reading tradition of the Hebrew Bible. Before this system, Hebrew was written without vowels, relying on oral tradition for pronunciation. The introduction of niqqud was crucial for maintaining the integrity of the biblical text as it was transmitted through generations.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/5348.htm">naqod</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>perhaps what is crumbled or easily crumbles, crumbs<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>cakes (1), crumbled (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">נִקּוּד</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> perhaps <font size="+1"><b>what is crumbled or easily crumbles, crumb</b></font> (compare <font class="hebrew2">נְקֻדָּה</font>);
