WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT
Lamed
Lamed is easy to locate because its upper stroke rises above most surrounding Hebrew letters. It has an l sound. Lamed also appears constantly as the attached form לְ־, usually carrying meanings such as “to” or “for.” The letter itself comes first; the attached-word function is taught later.
