Usage notes
The word "God" is capitalized in reference to the Abrahamic deity of the Jewish, Christian, and Islamic faiths almost without exception, even when preceded by various qualifiers. The term is frequently, but not always, capitalized in vaguer deistic references to a single deity as well.

Monotheistic Gods are traditionally referenced in English with masculine pronouns and (when depicted) anthropomorphized in the form of adult men, but also traditionally held by theologians to be beyond human sex or gender. Like other languages employing Latin script, English pronouns referring to a God traditionally begin with a capital letter as a sign of respect: He, Him, His, and Himself in the third person and Thee, Thy, Thine, Thyself or You, Your, and Yourself in direct address. However, this use is not universal and the King James Version of the Bible, as well as other modern translations, employ standard uncapitalized pronouns. See also: LORD.

Some Jews consider the English word "God" to fall under the Hebrew khumra concerning the avoidance of blasphemy, preferring to use the form or alternatives such as, , etc.

According to Trinitarian branches of Christianity (e.g. Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, most Protestant denominations), God and the Holy Trinity are one and the same, with three distinct persons: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are all God, but none of the three are one or both of the other persons.

Gypsy

Etymology
A (in  roughly ), itself an, from  (rarely ), from , from , from , because when Roma first appeared in England in the sixteenth century, they were wrongly believed to have come from Egypt. The 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬 and 🇨🇬 have the same origin. .

The other major categories of words for the Roma are cognates of Rom (words related to the Romani people's autonyms) and cognates of tzigane (words derived from Greek); see those entries for more information.

Noun

 * 1)  A member of the Romani people, or one of the sub-groups (Roma, Sinti, Romanichal, etc).
 * 2) A member of other nomadic peoples, not only of the Romani people; a traveller.

Usage notes

 * Gypsy is an exonym (a name given by outsiders, based on the mistaken belief that Romanis came from Egypt) and some Romani people find it offensive, as it has negative connotations, such as that the people are dishonest or thieving (compare gypsy, gyp), and it is associated with discrimination and persecution of Romani. Many dictionaries recommend avoiding the term, or give it a negative or warning label.      Gypsy is still more common overall than Romani, and is a common term of self-indication among Romani in the United Kingdom.

Letter

 * 1) The twentyfirst and penultimate letter in the Afar alphabet.

Noun

 * 1) H

Etymology

 * is from West Germanic stem-initial.

Usage notes

 * In the German-based spelling, silent h may be written to indicate a preceding long vowel. Some writers make liberal use of this, but the predominant tendency is to use doubled vowel letters instead and allow h only in the following cases:
 * where it serves to indicate a hiatus: ;
 * where the German cognate has h as well: (German );
 * where the German cognate has ch or g: (German ).
 * Silent h is not used in the Dutch-based spelling.

Etymology 1

Noun

 * 1)  the 10th letter in the Czech alphabet
 * 2)  B

Letter

 * 1) The eighth letter of the Dutch alphabet.

Pronunciation

 * The letter is silent in the syllable coda, before, and before suffixes. In common speech, h is frequently silent in the onset of all word-internal unstressed syllables, thus e.g. in and  (unless these have secondary stress).
 * The letter is silent in the syllable coda, before, and before suffixes. In common speech, h is frequently silent in the onset of all word-internal unstressed syllables, thus e.g. in and  (unless these have secondary stress).

Letter

 * 1) The eighth letter of the German alphabet.

Usage notes
For the use of silent h in German orthography one may note three general rules:
 * 1) It occurs only after long monophthongs and the diphthong ei.
 * 2) It occurs after simple i only in the pronominal stems, , , and in.
 * 3) It is mostly restricted to native Germanic words; instances in loanwords are exceptional.

Expanding on this, one can distinguish three types of silent h:
 * 1) Etymological h is written in words where  had a consonant that has become silent; this was usually h, occasionally g or w. Etymological h is missing only in a few words (e.g., , ).
 * 2) Hiatus-breaking h is written when an inflectable word stem ends in a long monophthong. This, too, is missing only in a few native words (e.g., certain nouns like , , ).
 * 3) Lengthening h (in the strict sense) may be written between long a, ä, e, o, ö, u, ü and following l, m, n, r. Its use is very irregular and it is missing in a great deal of words. At times this is done to distinguish homophones (e.g.  vs. ), but in general there is no clear system. One can note that lengthening h proper does not occur in stems starting with sch-, sp-, t-. It is overall rare in words starting with more than one consonant, but there are several counterexamples (e.g., , ).

Noun

 * 1)  B

Etymology 2

Noun

 * 1) Hungary on license plates

Usage notes

 * Used in the strings to indicate the stop realisatins . Also used in the four verb forms  to distinguish from . Otherwise it may occur in unadapted borrowings from modern languages. It is not used in loanwords from the classical languages.

Etymology
Proposed in 1908 as part of the new Latvian spelling by the scientific commission headed by K. Mīlenbahs, which was accepted and began to be taught in schools in 1909. Prior to that, Latvian had been written in German Fraktur, and sporadically in Cyrillic.

Letter

Usage notes
The letter H/h (like F/f, and O/o representing [o], [oː] instead of [uə̯]) is found only in words of foreign origin (borrowings). Note that it represents the sound of IPA [x] (like 🇨🇬, ), not (as in most other alphabets based on the Latin script) the sound of IPA [h].

Pronunciation

 * Silent in most native words.

Letter

 * 1) The eighth letter of the Norwegian alphabet.

Hand

Etymology

 * As a, , and English surname, from the noun , or used to translate surname for hand in other languages.
 * Also as an English surname, possibly from a pet form of or names like  and.

Etymology
From and, northern variant of. The regular form in Moselle Franconian and some southern dialects of Ripuarian is Hand with a plural (< *hende) through the development: intervocalic -nd- → -nn-. The regular form in most of Ripuarian is Hank with a plural (< *henge) through velarization and subsequently a corresponding development: intervocalic -ŋg- → -ŋŋ-.

These regular systems are preserved in Moselle Franconian and western Ripuarian. In many eastern and central Ripuarian dialects, the native velarization has to a large degree been reverted under the influence of standard German and surrounding varieties. This reversion, which has emanated from Cologne, is irregular, affecting -nk more than it does -ng-, and hence it has led to occasional variation between velarized and de-velarized forms within the inflectional paradigm of one word (compare, , ).

Noun

 * 1)   hand
