Here’s a transcription of the puzzle in the letter on uncertainty. The text is Psalms 146, verses 6 to 9. There are many possible ways of transliterating Hebrew. I have chosen one that maps to the SimHebrew (left column) as much as possible. It might help you with your pronunciation - but you can see that the centre column is more data than you need eventually - i.e. when you get used to reading SimHebrew. The raised comma is a guttural (aleph), the y is a deeper guttural (ayin). So the double ii is the English y sound and there are schwas that are more or less obvious between two successive consonants in the SimHebrew.
