Zayin (ז) is the seventh letter of the Hebrew alphabet. The word "zayin" also means "weapon in Hebrew. This letter is also used to refer to the 7th grade in Israeli schools.

Zayin is also one of the seven Hebrew letters which receive a special crown (called a tagin) when written in a Sefer Torah, besides ʻayin, gimel, teth, nun, shin, and tzadi.

Zayin (also spelled zain or zayn or simply zay) is the seventh letter of the Semitic alphabets, including:


Phoenician Zayin ?

Hebrew 'Zayin ז

Aramaic Zain ?

Ugaritic Zeta ?

Syriac Zayn ܙ

Arabic Zayn ز


It represents the sound [z].


The Phoenician letter gave rise to the Greek zeta (Ζ), Etruscan z Z, Latin Z, and Cyrillic Ze З.
