Tet, also written as Ṭēth, is the ninth letter of the Semitic alphabets, including


Phoenician Ṭēt ?

Hebrew Ṭēt ט

Aramaic Ṭēth ?

Ugaritic Tet ?

Syriac Ṭēṯ ܛ

Arabic Ṭāʾ ط


The sound value of Teth is /tˤ/, one of the Semitic emphatic consonants, but in Modern Hebrew, it's pronounced like a regular /t/.


The Phoenician letter name ṭēth means "wheel", but another theory suggests the letter possibly continues a Middle Bronze Age glyph named ṭab "good", Tav in Aramaic and Tov טוב‎ in Hebrew, ṭayyib طَيّب in modern Arabic, based on the nfr "good" hieroglyph:
