Sigma (upper case
Σ, lower case
σ, lower case in word-final position
ς;
Greek σίγμα) is the eighteenth letter of the
Greek alphabet, and carries the 'S' sound. In the system of
Greek numerals it has a value of 200. When used at the end of a word, and the word is not all
upper case, the final form (ς) is used, e.g.
Ὀδυσσεύς (Odysseus) – note the two sigmas in the center of the name, and the word-final sigma at the end.
