H is the eighth letter of the English alphabet, often called the aspirate, as being a mereaspiration or breathing, though not the only aspirated letter in English. The sound that distinctively belongs to it is that which it has at the beginning of a syllable before a vowel, as in hard, heavy. It is very commonly joined to other consonants to represent sounds for which there are no special letters in the alphabet, as in the digraphs ch, sh, th (child, ship, thin, this), or in other consonantal combinations of various origins and values, as in the words enough (gh=-f), plough (gh silent), philosophy (ph=-f), rhetoric (h silent), etc. Ch is common in words taken from the Greek, but in this case it generally has the k sound, as in chemistry, chyle, logomachy, etc.
