Qof (ק) is the 19th letter of the Hebrew alphabet. It has the sound of k in Modern Hebrew, but historically it was pronounced further back in the throat, and is often represented with a q.
More information about Qof
Qoph or Qop (Phoenician Qōp Phoenician qoph.svg) is the nineteenth letter of the Semitic abjads. Aramaic Qop (?) is derived from the Phoenician letter, and derivations from Aramaic include:
- Phoenician Qof = ?
- Hebrew Qof = ק
- Ugaritic Qop = ?
- Syriac Qōp̄ = ܩ
- Arabic Qāf = ق.
Its original sound value was a West Semitic emphatic stop, presumably [kˤ] or [q]. In Hebrew gematria, it has the numerical value of 100.
The origin of the glyph shape of qōp is uncertain. It is usually suggested to have originally depicted either a sewing needle, specifically the eye of a needle (the Hebrew קוף means "hole"), or the back of a head and neck (qāf in Arabic meant "nape"). According to an older suggestion, it may also have been a picture of a monkey and its tail.
Besides Aramaic Qop, which gave rise to the letter in the Semitic abjads used in classical antiquity, Phoenician qōp is also the origin of the Latin letter Q and Greek Ϙ (qoppa) and Φ (phi).

How is NICOLE spelled in Hebrew?
In Hebrew, Nicole would be (ניקול). For those unacquainted with Hebrew, the writing goes from right to left (as opposed to English which goes from left to right). The letters in sequence are Nun, Yod, Qof, Vav, and Lamed. (It is worth noting that the "Vav" takes a vowel which turns it into the "oh" sound.)As compared to fellow Expert Adam Reisman, I prefer to use a Qof instead of Kaf, because Nicole is a foreign word in Hebrew and Hebrew grammar tends to favor the use of Qof in imported foreign words. However, I have seen Nicole spelled with a Kaf before as well, so it is a perfectly acceptable spelling.

Are the icons for Microsoft Word Excel Power Point and Entourage letters from the Hebrew alphabet?
No, they are not from the Hebrew Alphabet. Some of the shapes of the icons for Microsoft Office 2004 Mac do look a lot like Hebrew letters but they are not. The lowercase "e" from Entourage looks a lot like the Hebrew "Peh" (ּפּ), the "P" from Powerpoint does not have its legs connected so it looks like the Hebrew Letter "Qof" (ק), the "W" from Word looks like a Hebrew "Shin" (ש), and the "X" from Excel looks like an "Aleph" (א). However, this is just the case because the Hebrew letters and the more loose form of the English letters that Microsoft chose to use are similar. The icons for Access, Frontpage, OneNote, and Visio do not resemble any Hebrew characters.
Is the devil's number 666?
In the Christian book of Revelations there is an elaborate description of an evil beast that dominates the world. Apparently the numerological value of the name of this beast is 666. The actual number of the beast, correctly translated from the original Book of Revelations text, is 616, not 666.
What is the tenth letter in Hebrew alphabet?
The Hebrew alphabet originally had 23 letters from "aleph to ghah". Ghah meaning "dark, twisted, rope". The ghah represented the mixing of the fallen "sons of God" mating with the daughters of men creating the mighty men of old, the men of renown, which represents the dna double helix (two or twin suns). It was later blended with the "ayin" to represent high spin state dna that opens the third eye. Yahushua, "the single brazen serpent" set on a staff, represents a single strand of DNA with 24 chromosomes: 23 chromosomes for man and 1 chromosome for God. 23 letters 23 chromosomes.
Are Hebrew and Arab writing related?

If 666 is the Devil's number then what is God's number?
"God is #1!!!" Okay - I'll skip the dorky super-christian reply. Seriously, though - forget about all the ridiculous number stuff in the Bible. Especially out of my favorite book, Revelations. People go absolutely psycho over trying to decipher "THE END OF THE WORLD" and every other eschatological (yep. I'm busting out the big words now, sorry) concept they can find inside John's vision. Btw, there is actually quite a bit of evidence to suggest that John was talking about Nero Caesar when he wrote 666 (when you add up the numerical value of Caesar's name, guess what you get...) because Caesar was a persecutor of early Christians in ways that would make Mel Gibson's "Passion of the Christ" a suitable bedtime movie for children. The guy was sick like only the Roman empire could be sick. Look it up - I think you'll find it interesting.Another AnswerJust to add a little to the above answer:666 was written in the Bible book of Revelations. The writer of Revelations was a recluse who lived in a cave. Instead of being some great seer of the future he likely suffered from psychological issues. Most Bible scholars believe that 666 refers to the Roman Emperor Nero. Nero perpetuated many brutal attacks against early Christians. The writer was trying to disguise that he was writing about Nero, and coded his name into 666.The Greek spelling of Nero, "Nerōn Kaisar", transliterates into Hebrew as "נרון קסר" or nrwn qsr. Adding the corresponding values yields 666, as shown:Resh (ר)Samech (ס)Qof (ק)Noon (נ)Vav (ו)Resh (ר)Noon (נ)TOTAL2006010050620050666Among people who bother to educate themselves, the number 666 means nothing for our present times. And the book of Revelations was written about early Christians and their plight, notabout our time or the future.
What are Hebrew words beginning with the letter d?
The Hebrew equivalent of the letter "R" would be "Resh" (ר). Resh means "head" in Common Semitic (in Arabic it is "Ra'is"). In Biblical (reconstructed), Sephardi (Spanish/North African/Turkish), and Mizrahi (Middle Eastern) Hebrew dialects, this letter is trilled like in Arabic, a little less trilled than in Spanish. Because the first Jews to migrate to the State of Israel were primarily of Central and Eastern European extraction, they spoke Judeo-German (aka Yiddish) which had adopted the French/German guttural R. If you go to Israel, you will hear a lot of this guttural R. If you watch old Israeli movies, you will hear a trilled R.
