+<p><hw>T</hw> <pr>(t<emac/)</pr>, <def>the twentieth letter of the English alphabet, is a nonvocal consonant. With the letter <xex>h</xex> it forms the digraph <xex>th</xex>, which has two distinct sounds, as in <xex>th</xex>in, <xex>th</xex>en. See <xex>Guide to Pronunciation</xex>, <sect/<sect/262-264, and also <sect/<sect/153, 156, 169, 172, 176, 178-180.</def><br/

+<p>The letter derives its name and form from the Latin, the form of the Latin letter being further derived through the Greek from the Ph<oe/nician. The ultimate origin is probably Egyptian.
