Well, for a start in every occurrence of ro'sh "head", lo' "not", zo't
"this (f.)", vayyo'mer "and he said" and several other common words in
the Bible. And I understood these (not the last) were modern Hebrew
spellings as well. But just as with holam and vav, the shift takes place
only when there is no other point or following vowel with the alef, so
e.g. not on bo'u "come! (pl)" (Genesis 45:17 etc).
