2. The numerical value of AYIN is 70

3. In modern Hebrew, the frequency usage of the letter KAF/CHAF is 2.7%.
4. The letter KAF/CHAF is one of five letters written differently when they appear at the end of a word
5. The KAF/CHAF is one of four letters that have two different sounds. The KAF has a point in its middle (dagesh), and the KHAF does not. This distinction is visible only when text uses the Nikud System
6. The sound of the Hebrew letter KAF is like the ‘C’ in cat.
7. The sound of the Hebrew letter CHAF is like the ‘CH’ in Loch Ness
8. The meaning of KAF is ‘spoon’ and ‘palm’ as in the ‘palm of one’s hand’
9. The letter KAF is also used as a prefix – a preposition meaning “as” and “like”
10. The prefix כְּשֶׁ – KE-SHE – comprising of the letters KAF and SHIN means “when” – as in כְּשֶׁבָּא – ke-she-ba / when he came / KE-SHE – when BA-he came 
    

Names that Begin with the Letter KAF for Boys and Girls
In generations past, most Hebrew speakers in Israel and Jews in the diaspora chose Biblical names for their children. Generally, names given to boys and girls were Biblical in origin and gender-specific. Nowadays, past name-choice practices are still prevalent, but many parents do not limit themselves to Biblical nor gender-specific naming.

In modern Israel, among the new unisex names beginning with the letter KAF you will find KEREM (vineyard) and KOCHAV (star).

Words of Values that Begin with the Letter KAF
MazorBooks children’s books promote Good Values. In that spirit, below is a list of Good Value words that begin with the letter KAF. The word KAVOD, which means honor and respect, LE-CHA-BED – to honor, to respect, ME-CHU-BAD – honored, respected. As you’ll note, the KAF in different usages of the same word, will sometimes be pronounced CHAF.

A Place in Israel that Begins with the Letter KAF
As Hebrew is the official language of the State of Israel, it stands to reason to include a place in this incredible country that begins with the letter KAF.

The choice this time is the KOTEL, a most visited site by tourists and Israelis. The Kotel, also known as the Wailing Wall, the Western Wall, and the Wailing Wall is an ancient remnant of limestone wall that surrounded the Holy Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Due to restrictions (political and others), the Western Wall is the holiest place where Jewish people are permitted to pray.
