Hello,

can anybody tell me how to implement a patach furtivum? I copied a short
passage from a Bible software supporting unicode but the "furtivum
feature" got lost. The last patach is supposed to be shifted between
chet and yod. I found no information about typing it in the
documentation of my keyboard driver (Ezra SIL Unicode for SCIM/KMFL,
Ubuntu Karmic).

Here is a minimal example:

\documentclass{scrbook}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setmainlanguage{english}
\setotherlanguage{hebrew}
\setmainfont{Linux Libertine O}
\newfontfamily\sbl[Script=Hebrew]{SBL Hebrew}

\begin{document}
\begin{hebrew}
\sbl{הַכֹּהֵ֧ן הַמָּשִׁ֛יחַ}
\end{hebrew}
\end{document}

Thanks for any help!
Carsten
