Nikkud - help for an alphabet with consonants only

Hebrew, like the rest of the Semitic languages is written using the consonant skeleton of the words only. All 22 letters of the Hebrew alefbet (alphabet), are consonants. When reading such text, reader has to fill in the missing vowels.

This is the reason why the full name of God - יהוה (YHWH) is not known by the common man. We don't know what vowels to fill in!

TLS with its stated history of over 5,000 years, must be knowing this, as this knowledge was lost after the first centuries AD. This knowledge though, might be guarded by them and other such groups. TLS or other TLS affiliated people, care to comment on this?

As spoken knowledge of the Hebrew language began to be lost, around 9th century, some very learned Jewish scholars developed a system of dots, placed on and around the consonant, to indicate vowels, shin/sin differentiation, consonant doubling or primary or secondary BegadKephat pronunciation. Such system is called נִקּוּד (Nikkud), dots or diacritics.

Given that The Pyramid Code is not available with Nikkud, and also Modern Hebrew very rarely employs it (most commonly used in Biblical Hebrew), we will not dwell on it here.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niqqud for more details.
