Today is Shlishli, 3-12, until sundown / sunset. It is day.

Here is my question.

How many letters are there in Hebrew?

I see 22, 23, and 25, as possible answers. I do not know if a dagesh for the Kaf would result in a new letter name. My understanding is that it would not. This makes 25 names, though my Hebrew text has 23 names. There are 2 letters that are silent letters. All the letters in Hebrew are consonants. Vowels are different from letters in Hebrew.

Shalom.

Five letters have a final form. The letter appears differently at the end of the word. Hebrew words are from right to left.

There are Five Gutterals.

There are six Beged Kefet letters.

Shalom.

Six, one them being repeated. Thus five different letters
