H \H\ ([amac]ch),       the eighth letter of the English alphabet, is classed among       the consonants, and is formed with the mouth organs in the       same position as that of the succeeding vowel. It is used       with certain consonants to form digraphs representing sounds       which are not found in the alphabet, as sh, th, [th], as in       shall, thing, [th]ine (for zh see [sect]274); also, to modify       the sounds of some other letters, as when placed after c and       p, with the former of which it represents a compound sound       like that of tsh, as in charm (written also tch as in catch),       with the latter, the sound of f, as in phase, phantom. In       some words, mostly derived or introduced from foreign       languages, h following c and g indicates that those       consonants have the hard sound before e, i, and y, as in       chemistry, chiromancy, chyle, Ghent, Ghibelline, etc.; in       some others, ch has the sound of sh, as in chicane. See       {Guide to Pronunciation}, [sect][sect] 153, 179, 181-3,       237-8.          Note: The name (aitch) is from the French ache; its form is                from the Latin, and this from the Greek H, which was                used as the sign of the spiritus asper (rough                breathing) before it came to represent the long vowel,                Gr. [eta]. The Greek H is from Ph[d2]nician, the                ultimate origin probably being Egyptian. Etymologically                H is most closely related to c; as in E. horn, L.                cornu, Gr. ke`ras; E. hele, v. t., conceal; E. hide, L.                cutis, Gr. ky`tos; E. hundred, L. centum, Gr.                'e-kat-on, Skr. [csdot]ata.          {H piece} (Mining), the part of a plunger pump which contains             the valve.
