He is the fifth letter of the Semitic abjads, including Phoenician Hē , Hebrew Hē ה‎, Aramaic Hē , Syriac Hē ܗ‎, and Arabic Hāʾ ه‎. Its sound value is the voiceless glottal fricative ([h]). The proto-Canaanite letter gave rise to the Greek Epsilon Ε ε, Etruscan 𐌄, Latin E, Ë and Ɛ, and Cyrillic Е, Ё, Є, Э, and Ҩ. He, like all Phoenician letters, represented a consonant, but the Latin, Greek and Cyrillic equivalents have all come to represent vowel sounds.
