ه hā called هاي هوز hā-i-hawwaz and هاي مدوره hā-i-mudawwara, the twenty-seventh letter of the Arabic and thirty-first of the Persian alphabet, corresponds to ह in Sanskrit. It is one of the guttural letters, having the sound of the English h. When it occurs at the end of a word, it is either perceptible, which is called هاي ظاهريا جلي يا ملفوظي (hā-i-z̤āhir or -jalī, or -malfūz̤ī), as in بادشاه bādshāh, A king; or imperceptible مختفي يا مکتوبي (-muḵẖtafī or -maktūbī), as in بہانه bahāna, A pretence, به ba, With, &c. where it merely conveys the sound of fatʼḥa. In the formation of the plural with ها the هاي جلي of the singular is preserved;
