Ikariam
Ikariam


  • Ikariam has rendered the letter "My" instead of "Mu", because it is the common transliteration in German and many other languages, and more accurately reflects the pronunciation of the letter's name in classical times.  The use of the y (upsilon) does not indicate that the letter's name rhymes with the English word "my" [mai], but rather contains the sound of the French vowel u (as in "tu") or the sound of the German u with an umlaut (ü).

    General information[]

    Mu (uppercase Μ, lowercase μ; Ancient Greek μῦ [myː]), Modern Greek Μι or Μυ [mi]) is the 12th letter of the modern Greek alphabet WP.  In the system of {{WPL|Greek numerals]] it has a value of 40.  Mu was derived from the Egyptian hieroglyphic WP symbol for water (𓈖) which had been simplified by the Phoenicians WP and named after their word for water, to become 𐤌.  Letters that arose from Mu include the Roman WP M and the Cyrillic letter WP М.

    The name of the letter is written μῦ in traditional Greek polytonic orthography.  In Modern Greek the ancient version is sometimes written μύ.

    In Modern Greek, the name of the letter is spelled μι and is pronounced [mi].
