Lhomme

L'homme (French pronunciation: [lɔm]) is a French word meaning "the man." It is the masculine singular definite article "le" combined with the noun "homme," meaning man. In French grammar, the "e" of "le" elides (is removed) before a word beginning with a vowel sound (vowel or mute 'h'), and is replaced by an apostrophe. Therefore, "l'homme" is used instead of "le homme" when referring to a man, and where "homme" begins the word.
