- H () the eighth letter of the English alphabet, is classed among the
- consonants, and is formed with the mouth organs in the same position as
- that of the succeeding vowel. It is used with certain consonants to
- form digraphs representing sounds which are not found in the alphabet,
- as sh, th, /, as in shall, thing, /ine (for zh see /274); also, to
- modify the sounds of some other letters, as when placed after c and p,
- with the former of which it represents a compound sound like that of
- tsh, as in charm (written also tch as in catch), with the latter, the
- sound of f, as in phase, phantom. In some words, mostly derived or
- introduced from foreign languages, h following c and g indicates that
- those consonants have the hard sound before e, i, and y, as in
- chemistry, chiromancy, chyle, Ghent, Ghibelline, etc.; in some others,
- ch has the sound of sh, as in chicane. See Guide to Pronunciation, //
