ק Qoph, 19th letter, Gematria 100

In Modern Hebrew, ק is pronounced exactly like the primary sound for כ, as K in English.

In Aramaic, ק is pronounced as a K that is vocalized deep in the back of your mouth. The sound ends up being a bit different than כ.

The Modern Hebrew word for Monkey is קוף (Qoph). In Aramaic is קופא (Qupha). Fancy me.
