  I had some qualm about Polish /h/, therefore, I studied
additional sources on Polish phonology.

  There is no /h/ in standard Polish, |h| is pronounced just as
|ch|, i.e. [x], or [G] if it is subject of voice assimilation, cf.
<http://main.amu.edu.pl/~kilarski/phon.pdf> (Paragraphs 2 and 8)

  A site at <http://elex.amu.edu.pl/ifa/pigulka/5.2.htm> on English
phonetics describes /h/ as a difficult sound for Poles, usually
substituted with /x/ by them even when speaking English.
