No full textConstantine Stathopoulos has asserted that a distinction needs to be made between GREEK LETTER KOPPA and GREEK NUMERAL KOPPA. This distinction is based in his assertion that a Q-shaped KOPPA is used in text, but a Z-shaped KOPPA is used as a numeral in modern Greek practice – and that modern Greek users do not recognize the identity of the two signs. In this document I will examine the evidence to hand. (Stathopoulos prefers the term “sigmoid KOPPA ” to “Z-shaped KOPPA”, but I consider the latter to be more convenient in English.) Cook 1987 presents a convenient table with 5 archaic Greek alphabets. Note the letters DIGAMMA, SAN (> SAMPI), and Q-shaped KOPPA. Note also the capital and small versions of these letters (but not SAN) in the modern Greek typeface on the left. Page 1Cook 1987 also gives a convenient summary of the letters used numerically: Note the use of DIGAMMA as 6, Q-shaped KOPPA as 90, and SAMPI as 900. Threatte 1996 gives a similar summary of the letters used numerically: Note the use of DIGAMMA, STIGMA, and SIGMA-TAU as 6, Q-shaped KOPPA as 90, and SAMPI as 900. When DIGAMMA was lost, STIGMA seems to have been substituted for it. When STIGMA is not available, SIGMA-TAU was often substituted – but note that in ºïùíáòéáîï ÷ et al. 1986 FINA

Full text linkThis document replaces N2939 and N2940, and contains the proposal summary form. The two scripts proposed here are all ultimately derived from Greek, and were used to represent some Indo-European languages of Anatolia. Unlike the family of Old Italic scripts (Etruscan, Oscan, Umbrian, Faliscan, North Picene, South Picene, and Messapic), however, the Anatolian scripts have unique repertoires, shapes, and character properties, and it is not appropriate to unify them in a single “Anatolian ” script. At one point in preparing this proposal I tried to make a comparison chart between the three scripts—but that exercise proved pretty much impossible to do, because the shapes and values of the different characters really don’t match up (as they do for Old Italic). Nevertheless, because they and the languages they are used for are related, it makes sense to propose them together in the proposal so that experts can review them more easily. Lycian and Lydian are simpler scripts, so I have proposed these here. A subsequent document will deal with Carian, which is more problematic and requires further research
