Geocache Description:

This cache is the fourth of nine in a series to introduce the Hebrew Alphabet. This small lock-n-lock cache contains a number of Hebrew scrabble tiles for the first few finders. Your feet might get muddy or wet if you hunt this after a recent rain.

Now on to the Hebrew lesson...

Yud – Yud is the tiniest of the Hebrew letters. Its numerical equivalent is ten (10). It has the sound /y/ as in yellow unless it’s being used a vowel in which case it helps to form the /i/ sound like high. Yom is the Hebrew word for day and it begins with the letter Yud.

/ Kahf/Chahf – Kahf and Chahf are the same Hebrew letter. If there is a dot present in the center of the letter, it is Kahf and has a hard /k/ sound like kite. If no dot is present, it has the guttural /ch/ sound like the letter Chet. Kahf/Chahf has two numerical equivalents. It can be either 20 or 500. The Hebrew word for planet, KoChav begins with Kahf and has Chahf as its third letter.
