Teth, also written as Ṭēth or Tet, is the ninth letter of the Semitic abjads, including Arabic ṭāʾ ط, Aramaic ṭēṯ 𐡈, Hebrew ṭēt ט, Phoenician ṭēt 𐤈, and Syriac ṭēṯ ܛ. The Phoenician letter also gave rise to the Greek theta (Θ), originally an aspirated voiceless dental stop but now used for the voiceless dental fricative. The Arabic letter (ط) is sometimes transliterated as Tah in English,[1] for example in Arabic script in Unicode.
The sound value of Teth is /tˤ/, one of the Semitic emphatic consonants.
