Even the Arabs use letters for numbers. Some educated people need to be more educated. |

Hello 100% Kalamara 
(You missed out the digamma .... )
.... Just throwing "feeders" for fishing out forum geniuses!
I must say if it wasn't for the Khirokitians; you Greeks would still be stuck with your ancient alphanumeric system.
Not to mention the Cypro-Geometric enlightenment of the Greeks to algebra.
And as for who invented "ZERO" .... well don't get me started!
Bye from this 50% Kalamarina!

No I didn't, "στ" is an alternative representation of the digamma (F)
