No, it's a different letter, and they are different roots, those with
a kaf and those with a chet
Shoshana,
You are right, but for diversity there is a kaf and there is a xet.
The letter kaf is merely the letter xet turned upon its side. A he is
a xet with a disconnected left leg, a qof is a he with an elongated
leg, and gimel is a cross legged he.
