Kaph

Kaph (also spelled kaf) is the eleventh letter of the Semitic abjads, including Phoenician Kāp , Hebrew Kāf כ, Aramaic Kāp , Syriac Kāp̄ ܟܟ, and Arabic Kāf ک/ك (in Abjadi order).

The Phoenician letter gave rise to the Greek kappa (Κ), Latin K, and Cyrillic К.

Origin of kaph

Kaph is thought to have been derived from a pictogram of a hand (in both modern Arabic and modern Hebrew, kaph means palm/grip).

Hebrew kaf

Hebrew spelling: כָּף

Hebrew pronunciation

The letter kaf is one of the six letters which can receive a dagesh kal. The other five are bet, gimel, daleth, pe, and tav (see Hebrew Alphabet for more about these letters).

There are two orthographic variants of this letter which alter the pronunciation:

Kaph with the dagesh

When the kaph has a "dot" in its center, known as a dagesh, it represents a voiceless velar plosive ([k]). There are various rules in Hebrew grammar that stipulate when and why a dagesh is used.

Kaph without the dagesh (chaph)

When this letter appears as כ without the dagesh ("dot") in its center it represents [χ], like the ch in German "Bach".

    California

    by: Cavo

    Sitting in a dark room
    Falling to pieces
    Try to find the right words
    So you can sing along
    Wear it like a tight noose
    I don't wanna feel this
    Might of made a wrong move
    Now I'm all alone
    I never know which way to go
    A million thoughts I can't control
    The city sleeps, but I can't close my eyes
    California
    California
    Drowning in a bright room
    Faking the feelings
    Wonder if the right words
    Are even here at all
    I'm living through the hardest part
    In a city full of fallen stars
    A million dreams I can't close my eyes
    California
    California
