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
