This is a matter if etymology. Today, hautbois only means the music instrument. The etymology is "high woodwind" really. The apostrophe is not a letter, it is a sign separating 2 words. The d' is for "de" meaning "of" in front of a vowel. Amour is love, yes. Damour means nothing, it is a word that you invented. You could have Dodoodoo and Hahaha, I m joking.
