Explanation

X is said with a rough noise in the throat; h is a light breath. Swapping them changes the meaning or makes a mistake: xat (letter) not “hat”; hayvon (animal) not “xayvon”.

Worked examples
x: xat (letter), xona (room), xalta (bag), baxt (happiness)
h: havo (air), hayvon (animal), hovli (yard), shahar (city)
Class activity
