The letter dalat (𐤃) or D/d is the fourth letter in the Afroasiatic language known as Paleo-Hebrew (Ābarayat). The letter has been equated with the letter D in the English language. The dalat (𐤃) is one of the few letters that have a consistent association with both Paleo-Hebrew and Modern Hebrew. The letter is based on a glyph of the Middle Bronze Age alphabets, probably called dalt “door” (door in Modern Hebrew is deleth).
