I think "CoF" should be a redirect toCradle Of Filth, with a disambiguation note aboutKaph. --81.219.231.4015:59, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I hoped thathere I'd find an answer to a question I used to have whenever looking at the alef-bet chart in Hebrew school: When does final ךּ ever get used, given thatkaf is one of the letters that's always aspirated at word-end? So it's always ך. Not answered here, and I actually can't find any information to pull into the article from outside sources. (Pointed versions: ךָ ךָּ) Can anyone point me to an explanation?Largoplazo (talk)20:40, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Similarly to my previous petitioner, I always find final kaph with two dots at the position of a dagesh (and not at the lower position where it normally resides). I originally thought this was a final "ornamental" variant of the dagesh, hence denoting a kaph rather than a khaf. Obviously, it's instead a shva at a visually more appealing position. But I'm still not sure.
Maybe someone can inform us about this phenomenon in the article. --Markus Prokott (talk)19:00, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The article states:
"Kaf/khaf is the only Hebrew letter that can take a vowel in its word-final form, which is pronounced after the consonant, that vowel being the qamatz."
While this may be true of modern Hebrew, it's not true of Scripture, where the word-final nun also appears on occasion with a qamatz. Not sure how or whether the article should be amended to reflect this.Ted Hopp (talk)19:33, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
