The enigmatic origin of the letter “D” has long intrigued linguists and etymologists. Its roots can be traced back to the ancient Phoenician alphabet, where it appeared as a symbol representing a door or entrance. However, there is some disagreement over whether it originally referred to the shape of a fish, as there are many Egyptian symbols that the Phoenican “dalet” could be derived from. Regardless of it’s origin, over time, as the Phoenician script evolved and influenced various writing systems, the symbol transformed into the letter we know today.

Can you recommend any books (such as the one in the video) to learn about stuff like this? I'm really interested!
Cyrillic Dd is Дд
I though the D was for the enemies of Im
Fun fact: although many languages have their D curved,Arabic still have a similar style to the Greek letter delta,it looks like this د,and pronounced "Dal"
Well, if if does cone from a door it makes more sense that the letter is called daled in hebrew, as it is only one letter away from delet (door)
Whic They Called Di- 💀
In Hebrew, door is "delet" and the equivalent of d ("ד") is pronounced "dalet".
Also fish is "dag".
this got me keyed up.
opened the puns thread. anyone have any more? : )

I learned the letter for D in Korean because it “looks” like a door ㄷ! Unfortunately, the actual word for door does not use the symbol, just coincidence “문”
