Thanks. Don't know how I missed that, so you can imagine me chagrined and red-faced. Reverse ' is an H, otherwise it's a smooth breathing. Okay. Thanks. My weak defense is an acknowledgement that I'm starting to need glasses for reading and my vanity won't let. Thus I can't see the direction of the apostrophe looking thingy, but I would have screwed it up on a test any how.
