   'hk' or 'kh' is an h with a k sound, which is not found in English.

In Hebrew, the 'kh' is a guttural consonant that is sounded at the back of the throat; they may be difficult for English speakers to distinguish from plain ‘h’ or 'k' sounds in Hebrew and equally as hard to pronounce. In translated Hebrew words, this sound is often written as either 'kh' or 'ch', which refers to the German hard ‘ch’ that sounds like ‘k’ such as in Bach and loch. Because translators can use ‘kh’ or ‘ch’, you often see the same Hebrew word being spelled with either variation, such as in the Hebrew word for Bible, Tanakh and Tanach. So if you see 'ch' in a Hebrew word, it should be pronounced like 'hk' and not the soft-ch sound in English, like in chew.

In Irish, the 'kh' sound is a hard, long 'k' sound.
