خ

ḵẖe, the tenth letter of the Hindūstānīalphabet (the seventh of the Arabic, from which it is borrowed), called ḵẖā`ě-manqūt̤a, and ḵẖā-ě-mǒ`jama.. It is one of the faucial or guttural letters, and has no corresponding sound in English, but is approximately expressed by the Scottish pronunciation of chin the word loch. As a numeral (see abjad) it denotes 600;—in astronomy it denotes the planet Mars.
