H

  1. A letter in the German-based alphabet of Central Franconian.

Usage notes

[edit]
Use of silent H
  • In the German-based spelling, silent h may be written to indicate a preceding long vowel. Some writers make liberal use of this, but the predominant tendency is to use doubled vowel letters instead and allow h only in the following cases:
    • where it serves to indicate a hiatus: blohe [ˈblɔːə];
    • where the German cognate has h as well: fähle (German fehlen);
    • where the German cognate has ch or g: mäht (German macht).
  • Silent h is not used in the Dutch-based spelling.

Chinese

[edit]

Etymology 1

[edit]

  • (phoneme) IPA(key): /h/
    • The letter is silent in the syllable coda, before /ə/, and before suffixes. In common speech, h is frequently silent in the onset of all word-internal unstressed syllables, thus e.g. in -heit and -haft (unless these have secondary stress).
  • (name) IPA(key): /haː/

Letter

[edit]

H (upper case, lower case h)

  1. The eighth letter of the German alphabet.
Usage notes
[edit]
Spelling rules for silent h

For the use of silent h in German orthography one may note three general rules:

  1. It occurs only after long monophthongs and the diphthong ei.
  2. It occurs after simple i only in the pronominal stems ihm, ihn-, ihr-, and in Schlemihl.
  3. It is mostly restricted to native Germanic words; instances in loanwords are exceptional.

Expanding on this, one can distinguish three types of silent h:

  1. Etymological h is written in words where Middle High German had a consonant that has become silent; this was usually h, occasionally g or w. Etymological h is missing only in a few words (e.g. rau, Ton, Träne).
  2. Hiatus-breaking h is written when an inflectable word stem ends in a long monophthong. This, too, is missing only in a few native words (e.g. säen, certain nouns like Knie, See, Schnee).
  3. Lengthening h (in the strict sense) may be written between long a, ä, e, o, ö, u, ü and following l, m, n, r. Its use is very irregular and it is missing in a great deal of words. At times this is done to distinguish homophones (e.g. malen vs. mahlen), but in general there is no clear system. One can note that lengthening h proper does not occur in stems starting with sch-, sp-, t-. It is overall rare in words starting with more than one consonant, but there are several counterexamples (e.g. Drohne, prahlen, Stuhl).

Etymology

[edit]

From Gaj's Latin alphabet H, from Czech alphabet H, from Latin Latin H, from Etruscan 𐌇 (h, he), from Ancient Greek Η (Ē, eta), from 𐤇 (ḥ, het), from the Egyptian hieroglyph 𓈈 or maybe 𓉗. Pronunciation as /xə/ is initial Slovene (phoneme plus a fill vowel) and the second pronunciation is probably taken from German 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 .
