    Ḥet or H̱et is the reconstructed name of the eighth letter of the Proto-Canaanite alphabet, continued in descended Semitic alphabets as Phoenician, Syriac ܚ, Hebrew ח, Arabic ح, and Berber ⵃ. It is usually represented in the Latin alphabet by ḥ. Heth originally represented a voiceless fricative, either pharyngeal, or velar. In Arabic, two corresponding letters were created for both phonemic sounds: unmodified ḥāʾ ح represents, while ḫāʾ خ represents. In modern Israeli Hebrew, the historical phonemes of the letters Ḥet ח and Khaf כ merged, both becoming the voiceless uvular fricative. The Phoenician letter gave rise to the Greek Eta Η, Etruscan
