Latvian[edit]

Etymology[edit]

Proposed in 1908 as part of the new Latvian spelling by the scientific commission headed by K. Mīlenbahs, which was accepted and began to be taught in schools in 1909. Prior to that, Latvian had been written in German Fraktur, and sporadically in Cyrillic.

h (upper case H)

Usage notes[edit]

The letter H/h (like F/f, and O/o representing [o], [oː] instead of [uə̯]) is found only in words of foreign origin (borrowings). Note that it represents the sound of IPA [x] (like German machen, ach), not (as in most other alphabets based on the Latin script) the sound of IPA [h].

Maltese[edit]

Pronunciation[edit]

• (phoneme) IPA(key): /-/, /ː/, /j/, /w/, /ħ/

h (upper case H)

Usage notes[edit]

• In contemporary Maltese, h remains a true consonant [ħ] in the following cases:
  • in word-final position or when being the last radical of a verb: ikrah [ˈɪkraħ], jixbhu [ˈjɪʃpħʊ];
  • before the negative ending -x: jarawhx [jaˈrawħʃ];
  • in the clusters -għh-, -ħh-, -hh-, which all become [ħħ].
• Otherwise it is silent or leaves only a vocalic trace:
  • Following and preceding a, e, o are lengthened if stressed: hedded [ˈɛːddɛt], fehmet [ˈfɛːmɛt]. Other vowels are not affected.
  • In intervocalic position it is a glide, [j] after i, ie, and [w] after u: jibniha [jɪbˈnɪːja], inħobbuhom [ɪnħɔbˈbuːwɔm].
  • The sequence -aho- becomes [ɔː]: rahom [rɔːm]. The sequence -ehi- becomes [ɛj] or [ɛˈjiː]: ftehim [ftɛjm], [ftɛˈjiːm].
• Phonotactically, word-initial h now generally behaves like a vowel, allowing contractions such as m’hemmx [mɛːmʃ]. However, word-internal h still behaves like a (virtual) consonant. Compare for example qablu [ˈʔablʊ] with qabilha [ʔaˈbɪla], which latter is formed as though the l were followed by a consonant.

Usage notes[edit]

• Seemingly native words spelt with ‹h› (rather than ‹ch›) are generally from Czech or other Slavic dialects. Otherwise ‹h› occurs in loanwords, especially from German. Some southern speakers distinguish between /x/ and /h/, but this is not part of standard Polish.

Alternative forms[edit]

See usage notes for both etymologies.

Etymology 1[edit]

From Gaj's Latin alphabet h, from Czech alphabet h, from Latin h. Pronunciation as /xə/ is initial Slovene (phoneme plus a fill vowel) and the second pronunciation is probably taken from German h.

Pronunciation[edit]

Letter[edit]

h (lower case, upper case H)

Usage notes[edit]

In Metelko alphabet, the phoneme was written by two different letters whether it was pronounced as velar /x/ or glottal /h/, a distinction irrelevant to nowadays standard and the distinction was also not used by all writers. Phoneme /h/ was written with 〈h〉, while /x/ was written with a yet to be encoded character .

h

Noun[edit]

h m inan or f

Inflection[edit]

• More common when with a definite adjective

• Dialectal, in common written language used till 19th century

Etymology 2[edit]

From Proto-Slavic *kъ 'to', which is itself probably from Proto-Indo-European *ku̯u 'where'. This form is a spirantization of k, which appeared to ease the pronunciation.

Pronunciation[edit]

Preposition[edit]

h

1. (with dative, see usage notes) to, for

Usage notes[edit]

Preposition h is a form of preposition k that appears before words that start with /k/ or /ɡ/ while other form is used for all other words. In "correct" pronunciation, the preposition does not form its own syllable, but binds to the first syllable of the next word and has therefore two pronunciations: [x] if word starts with [k] and [ɣ] if word starts with [ɡ]. In colloquial speech, this form (or at least its pronunciation) are also used with words starting with other letters.
