(also spelled , Tsade, , , Tzadi, Sadhe, Tzaddik) is the eighteenth letter of the Semitic abjads, including Phoenician Çādē 12px, Hebrew ˈṢādi , Aramaic Ṣādhē 12 px, Syriac Ṣāḏē (unicode:ܨ), and Arabic . Its oldest sound value is probably , although there is a variety of pronunciation in different modern Semitic languages and their dialects. It represents the coalescence of three Proto-Semitic "emphatic consonants" in Canaanite. Arabic, which kept the phonemes separate, introduced variants of and to express the three (see , ). In Aramaic, these emphatic consonants coalesced instead with ' and ''(unicode:ṭēt)'', respectively, thus Hebrew ''(unicode:ereẓ)'' ארץ (earth) is ''(unicode:araʿ)'' ארע in Aramaic. The Phoenician letter is continued in the Greek San ((unicode:Ϻ)) and possibly Sampi ((unicode:Ϡ)), and in Etruscan (unicode:𐌑 ''Ś''). It may have inspired the form of the letter Tse in the Glagolitic and Cyrillic alphabet. The corresponding letter of the Ugaritic alphabet is (unicode:𐎕) ''ṣade''. The letter is known as "tsadik" in Yiddish, and Hebrew speakers often give it that name as well. This name for the letter probably originated from a fast recitation of the alphabet (i.e., "''tsadi'', ''qoph''" -> "''tsadiq'', ''qoph''"), influenced by the Hebrew word ''tzadik'', meaning 'righteous person'. ==Origins== The origin of is unclear. It may have come from a Middle Bronze Age glyph based on a pictogram of a plant, perhaps a papyrus plant, or a fish hook (in Modern Hebrew, ' means "() hunt()", and in Arabic ' means "() hunted"). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tsade」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
