Inherited fromMiddle Persian𐭩𐭧𐭠(-īhā).

• Note: The plural suffix always bears the primary stress in a word.گفتگو(goftogu) -گفتگوها(goftogu-hâ)

ـها• (-hā /-hâ)

2. a suffix forming the plural of a noun; used for most nouns in colloquial language and inanimate nouns in formal language

   Synonyms:ـان(-ân),ـگان(-gân),ـیان(-yân);ـات(-ât);ـین(-in);ـون(-un)

4. a suffix used to form certain mass noun, often figurative;plenty of,all kinds of

   ‎آب(āb /âb,“water”) + ‎ـها → ‎آب‌ها(āb-hā /âb-hâ,“thewaters, plenty of water”)

   من آبجوها می‌خورم.(Iranian romanization)

   man âbjowhâ mi-xoram.

   I drink all kinds of beer.

6. a suffix used to form certain adverbs

   Synonym:ـا(-ā /-â)

   ‎بالا(bālā /bâlâ,“top”) + ‎ـها → ‎بالاها(bālāhā /bâlâhâ,“up”)

Although not reflected inall writing, this suffix should not attach theه to the preceding character, though neither should any space should be written. In computing, this is accomplished with azero-width non-joiner. For example, while some may write the plural ofشب(šab,“night”) asشبها orشب ها (typically for convenience, as many Persian keyboards do not have a ZWNJ), the preferred normal form would beشب‌ها(šab-hâ), with theب andه separated, but without a substantial amount of intermediary space.Though this rule is not compulsory in general, and the suffix may be joined to the preceding word or separated, if the preceding word ends in a silentه, itmust be separated.
