I think "CoF" should be a redirect to Cradle Of Filth, with a disambiguation note about Kaph. --81.219.231.40 15:59, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

ךּ‬

[edit]

I hoped that here I'd find an answer to a question I used to have whenever looking at the alef-bet chart in Hebrew school: When does final ךּ‬ ever get used, given that kaf is one of the letters that's always aspirated at word-end? So it's always ך‬. Not answered here, and I actually can't find any information to pull into the article from outside sources. (Pointed versions: ךָ ךָּ) Can anyone point me to an explanation?

ךְ‎‎

[edit]

Similarly to my previous petitioner, I always find final kaph with two dots at the position of a dagesh (and not at the lower position where it normally resides). I originally thought this was a final "ornamental" variant of the dagesh, hence denoting a kaph rather than a khaf. Obviously, it's instead a shva at a visually more appealing position. But I'm still not sure.

Maybe someone can inform us about this phenomenon in the article. --Markus Prokott (talk) 19:00, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Final kaf/khaf isn't the only final-form Hebrew letter that takes a vowel.

[edit]

The article states:

"Kaf/khaf is the only Hebrew letter that can take a vowel in its word-final form, which is pronounced after the consonant, that vowel being the qamatz."

While this may be true of modern Hebrew, it's not true of Scripture, where the word-final nun also appears on occasion with a qamatz. Not sure how or whether the article should be amended to reflect this. Ted Hopp (talk) 19:33, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
