Arabic
Etymology
ح (ḥ) distinguished by a point, written with that sign before the invention of such points (in rasm) because the scribes understood that Arabic /x/ is represented in Nabataean words that are by their lineage related to the Arabic words that have /x/ in them by /ħ/ written by the Nabataean 𐢊 (ḥ), from which the Arabic ح (ḥ) for /ħ/ descends.
Letter
خ / خ / خ / خ • (ḵāʾ)
