Samekh (Phoenician sāmek 𐤎‎ ; Hebrew samekh סָמֶךְ‎, Syriac semkaṯ) is the fifteenth letter of the Semitic abjads, including the Hebrew alphabet.

The Greek letter xi Ξ has a vertical crossbar, reminiscent of its Phoenician root glyph samekh.

Xi was derived from the Phoenician letter samekh .

Like its predecessor the Biblia Hebraica Kittel the BHS adds the letters samekh ס (for סתומה, setumah: closed portion) and פ (for פתוחה, petuchah: open portion) into the text to indicate blank spaces in the Leningrad Codex, which divide the text into sections.

error would result from the Hebrew letter מ (mem) being replaced with ס (samekh) and the letter ד (dalet) being replaced with ך (kaf).
