D, fourth letter in the alphabets derived from Greek and Latin. It originated
in an Egyptian hieroglyph that represented a hand. When adopted by the
Phoenicians, this sign was called daleth (door�) from its resemblance to the
aperture of a tent. The resemblance may be traced in the Greek letter D,
the name of which, delta, was derived from daleth. In English, the sound of
d is the voiced alveolar stop (see PHONETICS).
