I believed that gimel came from a Phenician letter representing a camel (gamal in hebrew). And when you look at the Hebrew letter, it can look like a camel.

[edit] Arabic letter forms inconsistency among articles

Is there a reason to show the Arabic letter in the table in Gimel (letter) in its middle form: ﺟ , whereas in Heth (letter) the letter is shown in the final form: ح ? (cross-posted: Talk:Heth (letter)#Arabic letter forms inconsistency among articles)--Imz 00:17, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I'm solving this problem by adding 2 distinctive Arabic letter forms (initial and isolated, if they are present) to the tables: [1], [2].--Imz 02:11, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

It needs to be mentioned that Gimel is always the winnar. Buttboy666 21:50, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
