technical
The eighth letter of the Hebrew alphabet, also transliterated as chet or heth.
Cheth represents a guttural consonant sound and is one of twenty-two letters in the Hebrew alphabet used in both ancient and modern Hebrew writing. The letter appears as a section heading in acrostic biblical poems, such as Psalm 119, where each stanza begins with a successive letter of the alphabet, cheth marking the eighth section. Its name and shape are shared, with variation, by related Semitic alphabets, reflecting the common ancestry of scripts such as Phoenician, Aramaic, and Arabic.
