This is because it is easy to put vowels between the Hebrew consonants,
correct?
I am thinking arithmetic and Japanese-style "goroawase" are easy to do in
Hebrew if you treat the consonants as digits using the ancient system of
writing numbers (no relation to the spoken names of the numbers, if I
remember correctly, and thus slightly different from genuine "goroawase").
