§Grammar and usage
The h is silent, so heiress begins with the same sound as air.
H silent है, इसलिए heiress की शुरुआत air जैसी ध्वनि से होती है।
Because the h is silent, we write an heiress and an heir, not a heiress.
Grammar के अनुसार h silent होने के कारण an heiress और an heir लिखा जाता है, a heiress नहीं।
