[Classical] غ g̠ẖain , called غین مهمله or غین منقوطه , the nineteenth letter of the Arabic, twenty-second of the Persian, and the twenty-ninth of the Puś̱ẖto alphabet, has no corresponding character in the Sanskrit, and appears peculiar to the Semitic family of languages. It is one of the guttural letters, its sound being like a g uttered with compression deeply in the throat, and bears the same relation to ګ that خ has to ک . According to the system of numbers by letters, it stands for 1,000.[classical]
