(BA) Kaf
...

24 July 2022 - 27 July 2022

Kaf is a letter of the Hebrew alphabet, conventionally transliterated as k. It can be pronounced in a "hard" and a "soft" form. In pointed texts, a k which contains a dagesh is pronounced much like an English k, while without a dagesh it becomes something more like the ch in the German ich. In Modern Israeli Hebrew, the hard kaf sounds just like qof, and the soft kaf sounds just like het.

In the Hebrew alphabet, kaf comes after yod and before lamed.
