چيونٿي chyūnṭī H s. f. The diminutive of چيونٿا chyūnṭā, q. v. See also چينٿي chīnṭī. ح ح Commonly called ḥā-i-muhmala or ḥā-i-ḥut̤t̤ī, the sixth letter of the Arabic alphabet, does not occur in Persian, nor is there in Sanskrit any letter corresponding to it. It is one of the six guttural letters; its sound being an aspiration much stronger, and formed deeper in the throat than that of ه. In reckoning by abjad it stands for eight: and, in astronomical tables, it denotes the sign, Sagittarius. It is sometimes substituted for ه; as, in ضحاک which is for ده آک (ten vices; the proper name of that prince being بيورسپ or the lord of 10,000 horse; بيور in Darī signifying 10,000). ه Is sometimes used for it; as نـﮩ‍اوند nahāwand, properly نوح آوند nūḥ-āwand, the name of a city built by Noah, and also the name of a mode in musick.
