词源 | T. Today’s T is a modification of the earlier form X for the let- ter. In Hebrew it is called taw, and in Greek, tau. T or tau was in ancient times the last letter of the Greek alphabet (as it remains in Hebrew) and thus in medieval times the common expres- sion alpha to omega, “including everything,” was often rendered as alpha to tau. |
