Q () the seventeenth letter of the English alphabet, has but one sound
(that of k), and is always followed by u, the two letters together
being sounded like kw, except in some words in which the u is silent.
See Guide to Pronunciation, / 249. Q is not found in Anglo-Saxon, cw
being used instead of qu; as in cwic, quick; cwen, queen. The name (k/)
is from the French ku, which is from the Latin name of the same letter;
its form is from the Latin, which derived it, through a Greek alphabet,
from the Ph/nician, the ultimate origin being Egyptian.

H () the eighth letter of the English alphabet, is classed among the
consonants, and is formed with the mouth organs in the same position as
that of the succeeding vowel. It is used with certain consonants to
form digraphs representing sounds which are not found in the alphabet,
as sh, th, /, as in shall, thing, /ine (for zh see /274); also, to
modify the sounds of some other letters, as when placed after c and p,
with the former of which it represents a compound sound like that of
tsh, as in charm (written also tch as in catch), with the latter, the
sound of f, as in phase, phantom. In some words, mostly derived or
introduced from foreign languages, h following c and g indicates that
those consonants have the hard sound before e, i, and y, as in
chemistry, chiromancy, chyle, Ghent, Ghibelline, etc.; in some others,
ch has the sound of sh, as in chicane. See Guide to Pronunciation, //
