Hello,
I'm doing research on the sound of the letter H in several  languages, 
and
I'd like to know if you can shed light on the mystical  power that 
ancient
Hebrews ascribed  to the letter Het, especially when said aloud.
Since the /h/ is produced purely with the aspirated breath, and breath  
 was
often equated with "spirit," I'm wondering if this would have had  
something
to do with Abram's name being changed to Abraham, and Sarai's  name
being changed to  Sarah.
Thank you.
Anita

Hello,
If you are really interested in the mistical meaning of the hebrew 
letters you must read "Hebraic tongue restored" you can find it here:

If you understand, or are able to read in French I've got an e-book 
copy. I can send it to you
(free of course).

Meanwhile I'm trying to translate for you what it says for the letter H:

"H, Universal LIFE symbol, the man breath, the wind, the soul, all that 
gives life up, as a grammatical symbol it is the life and the abstract 
idea of the being."

I believe it has to do something the abram's and sarai's name spelled 
with or without H, but I don't know the meaning.

If you'd like to discuss more on the subject just let me know.
