Etymology

Maltese

Etymology

In pre-modern Maltese, ‘‘h’’ still represented the sound [h], as recorded by Agius de Soldanis (1750) and Mikiel Anton Vassalli (1796). The modern pronunciation first appeared in the dialect known as lsien tal-bliet (“tongues of the cities”, referring to the urban areas around the Grand Harbour according to Vassalli), and eventually replaced the increasingly archaic [h] sound in the surrounding regions.

Pronunciation

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

Letter

h (upper case H)

The tenth letter of the Maltese alphabet, written in the Latin script.

Usage notes

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.

Pronunciation

IPA^(key): /ˈxa/

Letter

h (upper case H, lower case)

The eleventh letter of the Polish alphabet, called ha and written in the Latin script.

Usage notes

Alternative forms

See usage notes for both etymologies.

Etymology 1

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

Rhymes: -ə, -aː ([ə̀], [á]) (non-tonal)
Hyphenation: h
Homophones: H, h, ha (tonal and non-tonal)

Letter

h (lower case, upper case H)

The ninth letter of the Slovene alphabet, written in the Latin script.
The fourteenth letter of the Slovene alphabet (Resian), written in the Latin script.
The tenth letter of the Slovene alphabet (Natisone Valley dialect), written in the Latin script.

Usage notes

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 .

Symbol

(SNPT for Standard Slovene) Phonetic transcription of sound [x].
(dialectal SNPT) Phonetic transcription of sounds [h, ħ].

Noun

h m inan or f

(linguistics) The name of the phoneme /x/.

Declension

Overall more common

More common when with a definite adjective

Dialectal, in common written language used till 19th century

Rare

Etymology 2

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

Pronunciation

Rhymes: -ə ([-ə̀]) (non-tonal)
Hyphenation: h
Homophones: h, H (tonal and non-tonal)

Preposition

(with dative, see usage notes) to, for

Usage notes

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.
