However, a large number of Germanic words have y in word-final position. Some other examples are ph pronounced / f / (which is most commonly f ), and ch pronounced / k / (which is most commonly c or k ).
When a word in modern Hebrew borrowed from another language ends with /p/, the non-final form is used (e.g. ּפִילִיפ /ˈfilip/ "Philip"), while borrowings ending in /f/ still use the Pe Sofit (e.g. כֵּיף /kef/ "fun", from Arabic). This is because native Hebrew words, which always use the final form at the end, cannot end in /p/.
There is significant allophonic variation in /əʉ/, including a backed allophone [ɔʊ] before a word-final or preconsonantal /l/.

The fortis–lenis contrast may be transcribed as a gemination contrast ([pː tː kː fː sː ʃː xː] or [pp tt kk ff ss ʃʃ xx] vs [p t k f s ʃ x]). The fortis–lenis contrast may be transcribed as [p t k f s ʃ x] vs [b̥ d̥ ɡ̊ v̥ z̥ ʒ̊ ɣ̊], that is, the lenes are marked with the IPA diacritic

P or p is the sixteenth letter of the Latin alphabet, used in the modern English alphabet, the alphabets of other western European languages and others worldwide. Its name in English is pee (pronounced / ˈ p iː / ), plural pees .
In the word-final position the contrast between the voiceless /p, t, tʃ, k, f, s, ʃ, χ/ on the one hand and the voiced /b, d, dʒ, ɡ, v, z, ʒ, ʁ/ on the other is neutralized in favor of the former, unless a word-initial vowel follows in which case the obstruent is voiced and are resyllabified, that is, moved to the onset of the first syllable of the next word (the same happens with /ts ...
