as basic as the alphabet EGYPTIAN Twentieth century scholars tracing the origin of writing believe that the ancient Egyptian word-sign for bank was the forerunner of our modern letter H. PHOENICIAN The people of Tyre squared ofF the form and used it to represent the first sound of cheih (fence). It was so written on the famous Moabite Stone dating back to the ninth century B. C. GREEK When sea-rovers carried their writing to the shores of Greece, the Hellenes adopted the sign and used it to represent their vowel eta. ROMAN In the city of seven hills, the H was altered somewhat. But since the Romans used the Greek E to represent the eta vowel sound, they gave H the sound we employ today.
