Kaph (also spelled kaf) is the eleventh letter of the Semitic abjads, including Phoenician kāp 𐤊, Hebrew kāp̄ כ, Aramaic kāp 𐡊, Syriac kāp̄ ܟ, and Arabic kāf ك (in abjadi order). It is also related to the Ancient North Arabian 𐪋, South Arabian 𐩫, and Ge'ez ከ.
The Phoenician letter gave rise to the Greek kappa (Κ), Latin K, and Cyrillic К.
Kappa (/ˈkæpə/ ; uppercase Κ, lowercase κ or cursive ϰ; Greek: κάππα, káppa) is the tenth letter of the Greek alphabet, representing the voiceless velar plosive IPA: [k] sound in Ancient and Modern Greek. In the system of Greek numerals, Kʹ has a value of 20. It was derived from the Phoenician letter kaph 
. Letters that arose from kappa include the Roman K and Cyrillic К. The uppercase form is identical to the Latin K.
Greek proper names and placenames containing kappa are often written in English with "c" due to the Romans' transliterations into the Latin alphabet: Constantinople, Corinth, Crete. All formal modern romanizations of Greek now use the letter "k", however.
