None. The sound of 'x' in Hebrew isn't written with one letter like in English, but with two, like 'ks'; besides, most of the words with an 'x' sound in our language are taken from English or other langs and not being original.
The word "fox" contains three phonemes: /f/, /ɒ/, and /ks/. The first phoneme is the initial sound /f/, the second is the vowel sound /ɒ/, and the third is the consonant cluster /ks/ at the end. Each phoneme represents a distinct sound in the pronunciation of the word.
Well, honey, the letter "x" can make two sounds. It can make the sound like in "box" or "fox," which is /ks/, or it can make the sound like in "xylophone" or "x-ray," which is /z/. So, buckle up and remember those two sounds next time you're playing Scrabble.
