From כְּתִיב (k'tív) + מָלֵא (malé); hence literally "full spelling".

Noun

[edit]

כְּתִיב מָלֵא (k'tív malém

  1. Ktiv male: a style of Hebrew spelling that doesn't use diacritics (except sometimes sparingly), but that compensates for this absence by using vowel letters more heavily than in traditional spelling; contrasted with כְּתִיב חָסֵר (k'tív khasér), which also doesn't use the diacritics, but which doesn't use vowel letters as heavily.
    • 2017 June 17, the Academy of the Hebrew Language, “כללי הכתיב המלא – הכללים החדשים” (k'laléi hak'tív hamalé — hak'lalím hakhadashím, “The rules of ktiv male — the new rules”), press release:
      בישיבה האחרונה של מליאת האקדמיה ללשון העברית אושר סופית נוסח חדש של כללי הכתיב המלא (התקני) – הוא הכתיב המשמש בכתיבה הרגילה בעברית – בעיתונות, בספרות, בתכתובת הרשמית ובתכתובת הבין־אישית.

      In the latest meeting of the full Academy of the Hebrew Language, a new version of the rules of (correct) full spelling was finalized — [full spelling] being the spelling used in ordinary writing in Hebrew — in journalism, literature, official correspondence, and interpersonal correspondence.
