Note: The letter Tav can also take a dot, or dagesh mark. In ancient Hebrew, a Tav without the dot was pronounced "th" (e.g., as in Sabbath). In the Ashkenazi tradition, Tav without the dot is pronounced "s" (as in "Shabbos"), but in modern Hebrew, Tav with or without the dagesh is pronounced simply as "t."
