Ted Hopp scripsit:
There are exactly two Hebrew vowels that are spacing glyphs: holam male and
shuruq.
Is not U+FB35 HEBREW LETTER VAV WITH DAGESH a shuruq?
Yes. It is also a doubled or strengthened consonant V - the same
graphics used as a vowel and as a consonant. But of course it can't be
used in contrast with a vav - dagesh sequence as it decomposes to one.
But it does provide a precedent for calling a vowel a HEBREW LETTER.
