Title*

Body*

I'm using xelatex to write some grammatical remarks of biblical Hebrew. I need a different color for some vowels, for example, to illustrate some suffixes. I can't get a correct position of vowel when I change the color. In the MWE you get twice the expression "my horse". Note the different position of vowel.

I review some other similar questions (posted here 10 years ago or more, with no solutions at the time).


    % !TEX program = xelatex
    \documentclass{minimal}
    \usepackage{xcolor}
    \usepackage{polyglossia} 
    \setdefaultlanguage{english}  
    \setotherlanguages{hebrew}
    \newfontfamily\hebrewfont[Scale=5]{SBL Hebrew} 
    \def\r{\color{red}}
    \begin{document}
   
    \begin{hebrew}
    	  סוּסִי
      סוּס\r ִי
    \end{hebrew}
    \end{document}

I added here also an image of the expected result in xelatex, but made with Inkscape.
