Hebrew Alephbet: Kaf, Lamed, Mem, Nun, Samekh

(This article is still in draft form. I hope to improve it later.)

In three previous Sunday essays, we have looked at the Hebrew alphabet and covered the first ten letters. Here we look at the next five, kaf, lamed, mem, nun, samekh


11. Kaf
The eleventh letter is kaf. It has a k-sound unless the dot is removed.

The Hebrew word kaph means hand. See the open hand, maybe with a coin in the palm?

12. Lamed



13. Mem



14. Nun




15. Samekh

In addition to the Hebrewpod101 video, Christian publisher Zondervan has a channel which includes this lecture in Hebrew. I am also using this text on basic Hebrew, Read Hebrew in 22 Days or Less by Seltzer, Lizorkin-Eyzenberg and Shir.
