Hi (kana)

ひ, in hiragana, or ヒ in katakana, is one of the Japanese kana, which each represent one mora. Both can be written in two strokes, sometimes one for hiragana, and both are phonemically /hi/ although for phonological reasons, the actual pronunciation is [çi] (listen), the sound would be nearer to be transcribed "hyi" in ro-maji. The pronunciation of the voiceless palatal fricative [ç] is similar to that of the English word hue [çuː] for some speakers.

In the Sakhalin dialect of the Ainu language, ヒ can be written as small ㇶ to represent a final h sound after an i sound (イㇶ ih). Along with other extended katakana, this was developed to represent sounds in Ainu that are not present in standard Japanese katakana.

gollark: It doesn't matter. What I'm trying to get at here is that I don't see why you privilege the actual point at which an egg becomes fertilized that much, if your argument is just about potential to become another thing, since almost identical potential exists immediately before that.
gollark: Again, why? Before an egg is fertilized, there must necessarily exist some point at which it wasn't yet but that was likely to happen soon.
gollark: Does that matter? They're still ultimately quite likely to produce a zygote and then quite likely to produce a fetus and whatever else after that.
gollark: Yes.
gollark: Probably wouldn't work very well otherwise.
