WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT
Kaf
Kaf changes both sound and final shape. With an internal dot, כּ, it is commonly read k. Without the dot, כ, it is read with the kh-sound heard in Chanukah. At the end of a word, Kaf uses the final form ך. Later you will learn to recognize all three appearances as the same letter family.
