What is the 15th letter of Hebrew alphabet?

Answer 1

Tsadi (צ) is the 18th letter of the Hebrew alphabet. At the end of a word, it is written ץ.

More information about Tsadi

Tsadi (also spelled Ṣādē, Tsade, Ṣaddi, Ṣad, Tzadi, Sadhe, Tzaddik) is the eighteenth letter of the Semitic alphabets, including:

• Phoenician Çādē = ?
  
• Hebrew Ṣādi = צ
  
• Aramaic Ṣāḏē = ?
  
• Ugaritic Sade = ?
• Syriac Ṣāḏē = ܨ
• Ge'ez Ṣädäy = ጸ
• Arabic Ṣād = ص

Its oldest sound value is probably /sˤ/, although there is a variety of pronunciation in different modern Semitic languages and their dialects. It represents the coalescence of three Proto-Semitic "emphatic consonants" in Canaanite. Arabic, which kept the phonemes separate, introduced variants of ṣād and ṭāʾ to express the three (see ḍād, ẓāʾ). In Aramaic, these emphatic consonants coalesced instead with ʿayin and ṭēt, respectively, thus Hebrew ereṣ ארץ (earth) is araʿ ארע in Aramaic.

The Phoenician letter is continued in the Greek San (Ϻ) and possibly Sampi (Ϡ), and in Etruscan ? Ś. It may have inspired the form of the letter Tse in the Glagolitic and Cyrillic alphabet.

The letter is named "tsadik" in Yiddish, and some Hebrew speakers often give it that name as well. This name for the letter probably originated from a fast recitation of the alphabet (i.e., "tsadi, qoph" -> "tsadiq, qoph"), influenced by the Hebrew word tzadik, meaning 'righteous person'.

The origin of Ṣade is unclear. It may have come from a Middle Bronze Age glyph based on a pictogram of a plant, perhaps a papyrus plant, or a fish hook (in Modern Hebrew, צד tsad means "he hunts or he hunted", and in Arabic صاد ṣād means "he hunted").

Answer 3

Nun (נ) is the fourteenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet. It has the sound of N. At the end of a word, it changes to (ן).

More information about Nun:

Nun is the fourteenth letter of the Semitic alphabets, including:

• Phoenician Nūn ?
  
• Hebrew Nun נ
  
• Aramaic Nun ?
  
• Ugaritic Nun ?
• Syriac Nūn ܢܢ
  
• Arabic Nūn ن (in abjadi order). It is the third letter in Thaana (ނ), pronounced as "noonu".
  

Its sound value is [n].

The Phoenician letter gave rise to the Greek nu (Ν), Etruscan N, Latin N, and Cyrillic Н.

Nun is believed to be derived from an Egyptian hieroglyph of a snake (the Hebrew word for snake, nachash begins with a Nun and snake in Aramaic is nun) or eel. Some have hypothesized a hieroglyph of fish in water as its origin (in Arabic, nūn means large fish or whale). The Phoenician letter was named nūn "fish", but the glyph has been suggested to descend from a hypothetical Proto-Canaanite naḥš "snake", based on the name in Ethiopic, ultimately from a hieroglyph representing a snake.

Inverted nun (נו"ן מנוזרת "isolated nun" or נו"ן הפוכה "inverted nun" or "׆" in Hebrew) is a rare glyph used in classical Hebrew. Its function in the ancient texts is disputed. It takes the form of the letter nun in mirror image, and appears in the Masoretic text of the Tanakh in nine different places:

1. Twice in the Book of Numbers, 10:35–36: the two verses are delineated by inverted nuns.
   
2. Seven times in chapter 107 of the Book of Psalms.
