, Syriac 'Ālap ܐ, HebrewAleph א, and Arabic Alif ا.
, Syriac 'Ālap ܐ, HebrewAleph א, and Arabic Alif ا.
Hu, Huwa (depends on placement in sentence) or Parvardigar are used as names of God. The sound Hu derives from the last letter of the word Allah, which is read as Allahu when in the middle of a sentence. Hu means Just He or Revealed. The word explicitly appears in many verses of the Koran:
"La ilaha illa Hu"
—Family of Imran:18
"Huwa Allahu l-lazi la ilaha illa Hu"
—The Exile:22
"Allahu la ilaha illa Huwa l-Hayyu l-Qayyum"
—The Cow:255"
"La ilaha illa Hu"
—Family of Imran:18
"Huwa Allahu l-lazi la ilaha illa Hu"
—The Exile:22
"Allahu la ilaha illa Huwa l-Hayyu l-Qayyum"
—The Cow:255"
In Egyptian mythology, Hu (ḥw) is the deification of the first word, the word of creation, that Atum was said to have exclaimed uponejaculating or, alternatively, his self-castration, in his masturbatory act of creating the Ennead.

Hu is mentioned already in the Old Kingdom Pyramid texts (PT 251, PT 697) as companion of the deceased pharaoh. Together with Sia, he was depicted in the retinue of Thoth, with whom he was also occasionally identified.
In the Middle Kingdom, all gods participated in Hu and Sia, and were associated with Ptah who created the universe by uttering the word of creation. Hu was depicted in human shape, as a falcon, or as a man with a ram's head.
In the New Kingdom, both Hu and Sia together with Heke, Irer and Sedjem were members of the fourteen creative powers of Amun-Ra. By the time of Ptolemaic Egypt, Hu had merged with Shu (air).
The Phoenician letter is derived from one of Egyptian hieroglyphs which depicts an ox's head[1] and gave rise to theGreek Alpha (Α), being re-interpreted to express not the glottal consonant but the accompanying vowel, and hence theLatin A and Cyrillic А.
The aleph is in Unicode at U+05D0 א hebrew letter alef (HTML
א).
In phonetics, aleph /ˈɑːlɛf/ originally represented the glottal stop ([ʔ]), often transliterated as U+02BE ʾ modifier letter right half ring (HTML
ʾ), based on the Greek spiritus lenis ʼ, for example, in the transliteration of the letter name itself, ʾāleph.Origin[edit]
The name aleph is derived from the West Semitic word for "ox", and the shape of the letter derives from a Proto-Sinaitic glyph that may have been based on aEgyptian hieroglyph

which depicts an ox's head.[citation needed]
In Modern Standard Arabic, the word أليف /ʔaliːf/ literally means 'tamed' or 'familiar', derived from the root |ʔ-l-f|, from which the verb ألِف /ʔalifa/ means 'to be acquainted with; to be on intimate terms with'.[2] In modern Hebrew, the same root |ʔ-l-f| (alef-lamed-peh) gives me’ulaf, the passive participle of the verb le’alef, meaning 'trained' (when referring to pets) or 'tamed' (when referring to wild animals); the IDF rank of Aluf, taken from an Edomite title of nobility, is also cognate.[clarification needed]
Arabic[edit]
Written as ا, spelled as ألف and transliterated as alif it is the first letter in Arabic. Together with Hebrew Aleph, Greek Alpha and Latin A, it is descended from Phoenician ʾāleph, from a reconstructed Proto-Canaanite ʾalp "ox". = [?Apis Bull?]
Alif is written in one of the following ways depending on its position in the word:
| Position in word: | Isolated | Final | Medial | Initial |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Glyph form: | ا | ـا | ـا | ا |
Lamed or Lamedh is the twelfth letter in many Semitic abjads, including Phoenician, Aramaic, Hebrew Lamed ל andArabic alphabet Lām ل. Its sound value is [l].
Hebrew spelling: לָמֶד
Pronunciation[edit]
Lamed transcribes as an alveolar lateral approximant /l/.
Significance[edit]
Lamed in gematria represents the number 30. [ Location wise, 12th, but has a connotation of 3ness. 3x12=36]
With the letter Vav it refers to the Lamedvavniks, the 36 righteous people who save the world from destruction.
As an abbreviation, it can stand for litre. Also, a sign on a car with a Lamed on it means that the driver is a student of driving (the Lamed stands for lomed, learner).
As a prefix, it can have two purposes:
- It can be attached to verb roots, designating the infinitive (Daber means "speak", Ledaber means to speak). = Lum is the Connector
- It can also act as a preposition meaning "to" or "for".
Arabic lām[edit]
The letter is named lām, and is written is several ways depending in its position in the word:
| Position in word: | Isolated | Final | Medial | Initial |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Glyph form: | ل | ـل | ـلـ | لـ |
Some examples on its uses in Modern Standard Arabic. (Normally, diacritics are not written):
Lām is used as a prefix in two different ways. Lām-kasra (لـِ, /li/) is essentially a preposition meaning "to" or "for", as in لِوالدي liwālidī, "for my father". In this usage, it has become concatenated with other words to form new constructions often treated as independent words: for instance, لِماذا limāḏā, meaning "why?", is derived from لـِ li and ماذا māḏā, meaning "what?" thus getting "for what?". This construction is virtually semantically identical the equivalent in most Romance languages, e.g. Frenchpourquoi, Spanish por qué, and Italian perché (though ché is an archaism and not in current use).
The other construction, lām-fatḥa (لَـ /la/) is used as an emphatic particle in very formal Arabic and in certain fixed constructions, such as لَقد laqad (itself an emphatic particle for past-tense verbs) and in the conditional structure لو...لَـ law...la, effectively one of the forms of if...then....

He is the fifth letter of many Semitic alphabets, including Phoenician 𐤄, Hebrew ה, Aramaic or Syriac ܗ and Arabichāʾ ﻫ. Its sound value is a voiceless glottal fricative ([h]).
The Phoenician letter gave rise to the Greek Epsilon, Etruscan 
𐌄, Latin E, Ë and Ɛ, and Cyrillic Е, Ё, Є and Э.He, like all Phoenician letters, represented a consonant, but the Latin, Greek and Cyrillic equivalents have all come to represent vowel sounds.
𐌄, Latin E, Ë and Ɛ, and Cyrillic Е, Ё, Є and Э.He, like all Phoenician letters, represented a consonant, but the Latin, Greek and Cyrillic equivalents have all come to represent vowel sounds.Origins[edit]
In Proto-Northwest Semitic there were still three voiceless fricatives: uvular ḫ, glottal h, and pharyngeal ḥ. In the Wadi el-Hol script, these appear to be expressed by derivatives of the following Egyptian hieroglyphs
|
ḫayt "thread",
|
|
ḥasir "court". In the Phoenician alphabet, ḫayt and ḥasir are merged into Heth "fence", while hillul is replaced by He "window".

Hebrew spelling: הֵא
Pronunciation[edit]
In modern Hebrew, the letter represents a voiceless glottal fricative. /h/ may also be dropped, although this pronunciation is seen as substandard.
Also, in many variant Hebrew pronunciations the letter may represent a glottal stop. In word-final position, He is used to indicate an a-vowel, usually that of qamatz( ָ ), and in this sense functions like Aleph, Vav, and Yud as a mater lectionis, indicating the presence of a long vowel.
He, along with Aleph, Ayin, Resh, and Heth, cannot receive a dagesh. Nonetheless, it does receive a marking identical to the dagesh, to form He-mappiq (הּ). Although indistinguishable for most modern speakers or readers of Hebrew, the mapiq is placed in a word-final He to indicate that the letter is not merely a mater lectionis, but that the consonant should be aspirated in that position. It is generally used in Hebrew to indicate the third-person feminine singular genitive marker. Today such a pronunciation only occurs in religious contexts, and then often only by careful readers of the scriptures.
Significance of He[edit]
In gematria, He symbolizes the number five, and when used at the beginning of Hebrew years, it means 5000 (i.e. התשנ״ד in numbers would be the date 5754).
Attached to words, He may have three possible meanings:
- A preposition meaning the definite article "the", or the relative pronouns "that", or "who" (as in "a boy who reads"). For example, yeled, a boy; hayeled, the boy.
- A prefix indicating that the sentence is a question. (For example, Yadata, You knew; Hayadata?, Did you know?)
- A suffix after place names indicating movement towards the given noun. (For example, Yerushalayim, Jerusalem; Yerushalaymah, towards Jerusalem.)
in modern Hebrew the frequency of the usage of he, out of all the letters, is 8.18%.
He, representing five in gematria, is often found on amulets, symbolizing the five fingers of a hand, a very common talismanic symbol.
In Judaism[edit]
He is often used to represent the name of God, as He stands for Hashem, which means The Name and is a way of saying God without actually saying the name of God. In print, Hashem is usually written as He with a geresh: ה׳.
Syriac Heh[edit]
| Heh |

 Madnḫaya Heh |
 Serṭo Heh |
 Esṭrangela Heh |
In the Syriac alphabet, the fifth letter is ܗ — Heh (ܗܹܐ). It is pronounced as an [h]. At the end of a word with a point above it, it represents the third-person femininesingular suffix. Without the point, it stands for the masculine equivalent. Standing alone with a horizontal line above it, it is the abbreviation for either hānoh (ܗܵܢܘܿ), meaning 'this is' or 'that is', or halelûya (ܗܵܠܹܠܘܼܝܵܐ). As a numeral, He represents the number five.
Arabic hāʾ[edit]
The letter is named hāʾ. It is written in several ways depending on its position in the word:
| Position in word: | Isolated | Final | Medial | Initial |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Glyph form: | ه | ـه | ـهـ | هـ |
Hāʾ is used as a suffix (with the harakat dictated by ʾIʿrab) indicating possession, indicating that the noun marked with the suffix belongs to a specific masculine possessor; for example, كِتَاب kitāb ("book") becomes كِتَابُهُ kitābuhu ("his book") with the addition of final hāʾ; the possessor is implied in the suffix. A longer example,هُوَ يَقْرَأُ كِتَابُهُ, (huwa yaqraʼu kitābahu, "he reads his book") more clearly indicates the possessor.
The hāʾ suffix appended to a verb represents a masculine object (e.g. يَقْرَأُهُ, yaqraʾuhu, "he reads it").
The feminine form of this construction is in both cases ـهَا -hā.
