The other kind of <span class="nowrap">⟨h⟩</span> is called <i>h aspiré</i> ("<a href="/wiki/Aspirated_h" title="Aspirated h">aspirated '<span class="nowrap">⟨h⟩</span>'</a>", though it is not normally aspirated phonetically), and does not allow elision or <a href="/wiki/Liaison_(French)" title="Liaison (French)">liaison</a>. For example, in <i>le homard</i> ('the lobster') the article <i>le</i> remains unelided, and may be separated from the noun with a bit of a glottal stop. Most words that begin with an <i>H muet</i> come from Latin (<i>honneur</i>, <i>homme</i>) or from Greek through Latin (<i>hécatombe</i>), whereas most words beginning with an <i>H aspiré</i> come from Germanic (<i>harpe</i>, <i>hareng</i>) or non-Indo-European languages (<i>harem</i>, <i>hamac</i>, <i>haricot</i>); in some cases, an orthographic <span class="nowrap">⟨h⟩</span> was added to disambiguate the <span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">[v]</span> and semivowel <span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">[ɥ]</span> pronunciations before the introduction of the distinction between the letters <span class="nowrap">⟨v⟩</span> and <span class="nowrap">⟨u⟩</span>: <i>huit</i> (from <i>uit</i>, ultimately from Latin <i>octo</i>), <i>huître</i> (from <i>uistre</i>, ultimately from Greek through Latin <i>ostrea</i>). </p><p>In Italian, <span class="nowrap">⟨h⟩</span> has no <a href="/wiki/Phonology" title="Phonology">phonological</a> value.
