ነ (na)
The Ge'ez letter ነ is called ነሕስ (naḥs). It represents a “alveolar nasal”, which is the sounds of <n> in the English words nest, north, and neat.
Its shape ነ is derived from the epigraphic character: 𐩬. It correlates to the Arabic letter ن, the Syriac letter ܢ, and the Hebrew letter נ.
Ge’ez words starting with ነ include ነጋሢ (nagāši) “monarch”, ንዋይ (nəway) “wealth”, and ንጽሐት (nəṣḥat) “purity”.
