The 11th letter of the Hebrew alphabet, representing a guttural sound and used in Hebrew religious and linguistic texts.
From Hebrew 'kaph,' meaning 'palm of the hand,' because the letter's original shape resembled an open palm in ancient Phoenician script.
Hebrew letters were originally pictures—the letter Cafh literally looks like a hand because that's what it drew 3,000 years ago, making ancient alphabets a visual record of what mattered to ancient people.
