• The French word homme ("man") begins by a mute h. Consequently we can say l'homme and les hommes , but never and , like we do with the aspirated h.
• Whether the h be a mute h or an aspirate h, it may be regarded in either case as absolutely silent.
• In French initial h’s are called either mute h’s (the greatest number) or aspirate h’s (fewer in number, but frequent nonetheless).
• The only difference between the two is that a mute h allows contractions and liaisons in front of it, and an aspirated h does not.
