H is priestly, evincing concern for cultic sacrifices, cultic observances, the behavior of priests, and ethical matters. H is not P, however, as it has unique vocabulary and contradicts several aspects of Priestly theology, such as the status of the Israelites, the importance of "the land," and whether YHWH or the Israelites own the land.

Usage notes
Use of silent H
In the German-based spelling, silent h may be written to indicate a preceding long vowel. Some writers make liberal use of this, but the predominant tendency is to use doubled vowel letters instead and allow h only in the following cases:
《汉语拼音方案》 defines a standard pronunciation for each letter. However, these pronunciations are rarely used in education; another pronunciation is commonly used instead.
The pronunciation above are only used while referring to letters in Pinyin. They are not used in other context (such as English).
The Finnish orthography using the Latin script was based on those of Swedish, German and Latin, and was first used in the mid-16th century. No earlier script is known. See the Wikipedia article on Finnish for more information, and H for information on the development of the glyph itself.
The letter is silent in the syllable coda, before /ə/, and before suffixes. In common speech, h is frequently silent in the onset of all word-internal unstressed syllables, thus e.g. in -heit and -haft (unless these have secondary stress).
For the use of silent h in German orthography one may note three general rules:
It occurs only after long monophthongs and the diphthong ei.
It occurs after simple i only in the pronominal stems ihm, ihn-, ihr-, and in Schlemihl.
It is mostly restricted to native Germanic words; instances in loanwords are exceptional.
Expanding on this, one can distinguish three types of silent h:
Etymological h is written in words where Middle High German had a consonant that has become silent; this was usually h, occasionally g or w. Etymological h is missing only in a few words (e.g. rau, Ton, Träne).
Hiatus-breaking h is written when an inflectable word stem ends in a long monophthong. This, too, is missing only in a few native words (e.g. säen, certain nouns like Knie, See, Schnee).
Lengthening h (in the strict sense) may be written between long a, ä, e, o, ö, u, ü and following l, m, n, r. Its use is very irregular and it is missing in a great deal of words. At times this is done to distinguish homophones (e.g. malen vs. mahlen), but in general there is no clear system. One can note that lengthening h proper does not occur in stems starting with sch-, sp-, t-. It is overall rare in words starting with more than one consonant, but there are several counterexamples (e.g. Drohne, prahlen, Stuhl).
Used in the strings che, chi, ghe, ghi to indicate the stop realisatins /k/, /ɡ/. Also used in the four verb forms ho, hai, ha, hanno to distinguish from o, ai, a, anno. Otherwise it may occur in unadapted borrowings from modern languages. It is not used in loanwords from the classical languages.

Etymology
The Kashubian orthography is based on the Latin alphabet. No earlier script is known. See the Kashubian alphabet article on Wikipedia for more, and H for development of the glyph itself.
Proposed in 1908 as part of the new Latvian spelling by the scientific commission headed by K. Mīlenbahs, which was accepted and began to be taught in schools in 1909. Prior to that, Latvian had been written in German Fraktur, and sporadically in Cyrillic.
The letter H/h (like F/f, and O/o representing , instead of ) is found only in words of foreign origin (borrowings). Note that it represents the sound of IPA (like Germanmachen, ach), not (as in most other alphabets based on the Latin script) the sound of IPA .
The Polish orthography is based on the Latin alphabet. No earlier script is known. See the history of Polish orthography article on Wikipedia for more, and H for development of the glyph itself.
The eighth letter of the Scottish Gaelic alphabet, written in the Latin script.It is preceded by g and followed by i. Its traditional name is uath(“hawthorn”).
The Silesian orthography is based on the Latin alphabet. No earlier script is known. See the Silesian language article on Wikipedia for more, and H for development of the glyph itself.
From Gaj's Latin alphabet H, from Czech alphabet H, from Latin LatinH, from Etruscan𐌇(h, he), from Ancient GreekΗ(Ē, eta), from 𐤇(ḥ, het), from the Egyptian hieroglyph 𓈈 or maybe 𓉗. Pronunciation as /xə/ is initial Slovene (phoneme plus a fill vowel) and the second pronunciation is probably taken from GermanH.
In Metelko alphabet, the phoneme was written by two different letters whether it was pronounced as velar /x/ or glottal /h/, a distinction irrelevant to nowadays standard and the distinction was also not used by all writers. Phoneme /h/ was written with 〈H〉, while /x/ was written with a yet to be encoded character .
Over time, some of the loaned Spanish words still spelled with the silent ⟨h⟩ are spoken with /h/ due to the loss of knowledge of the letter being silent.
