Best Answer

The Eighth Hebrew letter is Ḥet or H̱et (ח), also spelled Khet, Kheth, Chet, Cheth, Het, or Heth.


It is also the eighth letter of other Semitic abjads, including:

  • Phoenician Ḥēt ?
  • Ugaritic Hota ?
  • Aramaic Ḥēth ?
  • Syriac Ḥēṯ ܚ
  • Arabic Ḥā' ح


Het originally represented a voiceless fricative, either pharyngeal /ħ/, or velar /x/ (the two Proto-Semitic phonemes having merged in Canaanite.


In Arabic, two corresponding letters were created for both phonemic sounds: unmodified ḥāʾ ح represents /ħ/, while ḫāʾ خ represents /x/.


The Phoenician letter gave rise to:

  • Greek Eta Η
  • Etruscan H
  • Latin H
  • Cyrillic N
