Енглески

Етимологија[уреди]

From Средњи Енглески alphabete, borrowed from Рани Латински alphabētum, from Антички Грчки ἀλφάβητος (alphábētos), from ἄλφα (álpha), and βῆτα (bêta), the names of the first two letters of the Greek alphabet, Α (A) and Β (B), lowercase forms α and β. The Greek names derived from aleph, the name of the Phoenician letter 𐤀‎ (ʾ, “ox”) and beth, the name of the letter 𐤁‎ (b, “house”), so called because they were pictograms of those objects, having developed from the Egyptian hieroglyphs
