n.
  1. 1.

    In the French language usage of the letter h at the start of a word which allows liaison with a preceding consonant.

    语言学

    The French word homme ("man") begins with a mute h. Consequently we can say l'homme /l‿ɔm/ and les hommes /le‿zɔm/, but never /lə ɔm/ and /le ɔm/, like we do with the aspirated h.

  2. 2.

    Non-aspiration of a glottal consonant.
