===Alphabet=== Unlike the Paleo-Hebrew writing script, the modern Hebrew script has five [[letter (alphabet)|letters]] that have special [[final form]]s,{{ref label|Pronunciation_in_Different_Word_Positions|c|}} called '''sofit''' ({{langx|he|ืกืืคืืช}}, meaning in this context "final" or "ending") form, used only at the end of a word, somewhat as in the [[Greek alphabet|Greek]] or in the [[Arabic alphabet|Arabic]] and [[Mandaic alphabet]]s.{{ref label|Variants_in_Arabic_Mandaic|b|}} These are shown below the normal form in the following table (letter names are [[List of Unicode characters#Hebrew|Unicode]] standard<ref name="unicode_names_of_hebrew_glyphs_at_unicode.org">{{cite web| url = https://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0590.pdf| title = Hebrew | format=character code chart |work=The Unicode Standard |publisher=Unicode, Inc. }}</ref><ref name="unicode_names_of_hebrew_glyphs_at_fileformat.info">[https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/block/hebrew/list.htm Unicode names of Hebrew characters at fileformat.info].</ref>).
