*According to Ben-Yehuda’s Dictionary another form of “Chet” (i.e. ch similar to Arabic Hey) is “H” in the same manner as “Machmad” can be read as “Mahamad” (Peace be upon him). Therefore, the variant form of Rachman or Rachum is Rahman and Rahum, providing evidence that a word written with “Chet” (i.e., ch) in Hebrew can have a variant form as “H”. As Neal Walters (admin of Hebrew resources (USA) and author of “At Home with Hebrew”) said, “The hardest thing is to transliterate a Hebrew sound that does not exist in the English language. Thus, what do we put in English for a “chet” or a “chaf”. Some people use “ch”, some use “kh”, some people use an H with a dot under it, some would use a capital “H”, where as a lower case “h” would be a HEI” (as similar to Arabic Hah).
