TET is the ninth letter of the Hebrew alphabet.

Tet

Pronunciation. The letter
Tet is pronounced as "t" in tea.

Transliteration. The letter
Tet is transliterated "t".

Example
(purity, purification) is transliterated tohora. Syllabication. to-ho-ra.
Note: The pronunciation of tohora is trucky. The vowel after tet is a kamats ḥatuf not a kamats; it is an open unaccented syllable but a short vowel. [This is because the gutteral letter (hey) that follows cannot take a sh'va and so demands a compond sh'va.] So... "to" not "ta" and the vowel after hey, a compound sh'va, is a ḥatuf kamats, so is a very short "o."]

Gematria. Tet is equal to 9.
