| '''Upsilon''' (uppercase '''Υ''', lowercase '''υ'''; {{lang-el|Ύψιλον}}, Úpsilon) is the 20th letter of the [[Greek alphabet]]. In the system of [[Greek numerals]] it has a value of 400. It is derived from the [[phoenecian alphabet|Phoenician]] [[Waw (letter)|waw]] [[Image:Phoenician waw.svg|20px]]. The name of the letter is pronounced {{IPA-el|ˈipsilon|}} in [[Modern Greek]], and in English {{IPAc-en|ˈ|ʌ|p|s|ɨ|l|ɒ|n}}, {{IPAc-en|UK|juː|p|ˈ|s|aɪ|l|ən}} {{respell|yewp|SY|lən}}, or {{IPAc-en|US|ˈ|juː|p|s|ɨ|l|ɒ|n}} {{respell|YEWP|sə-lon}}. It is occasionally called "ypsilon" ({{IPA|/ˈɪpsɨlɒn/}}) in English after its rendering in Latin, where the Greek upsilon corresponded with the [[Y|letter Y]].
| |
| | |
| [[File:NAMA Alphabet grec.jpg|thumb|The Greek alphabet on a [[black figure]] vessel, with a V-shaped upsilon.]]
| |
| | |
| ==Etymology==
| |
| The name of the letter was originally just “υ” (''y''; also called ''hy'', hence "[[Hyoid bone|hyoid]]", meaning "shaped like the letter υ"), but the name changed to “υ ψιλόν”, (''u psilon'', meaning 'simple u') to distinguish it from οι, which had come to have the same {{IPA|[y]}} pronunciation.<ref>See [[W. Sidney Allen]], ''Vox Graeca'', 3rd ed., Cambridge 1987, p. 69.</ref>
| |
| | |
| ==Pronunciation==
| |
| In early Greek it was pronounced like English ''oo'' {{IPAblink|u|}}. In [[Ancient Greek language|Classical Greek]], it was pronounced like French ''u'' or German ''ü'', {{IPAblink|y|}}—a sound that is not found in most dialects of [[English language|English]]. This was the case at least until the year 1030AD.<ref>F. Lauritzen, Michael the Grammarian's irony about Hypsilon. A step towards roeconstructing byzantine pronunciation ''Byzantinoslavica'', 67 (2009)</ref> In [[Modern Greek]] it is pronounced like continental ''i'' or English ''ee'', {{IPAblink|i|}}, and in [[diphthongs]], {{IPA|[f]}} or {{IPA|[v]}}. In ancient Greek, it occurred in both long and short versions, but this distinction has been lost in Modern Greek.
| |
| | |
| As an initial letter in Classical Greek it always carried the [[rough breathing]] (equivalent to ''h'') as reflected in the many [[English words of Greek origin|Greek-derived English words]], such as those that begin with ''hyper-'' and ''hypo-''. This rough breathing was derived from an older pronunciation that used a [[Sibilant consonant|sibilant]] instead; this sibilant was not lost in Latin, giving rise to such cognates as ''super-'' (for ''hyper-'') and ''sub-'' (for ''hypo-'').
| |
| | |
| Upsilon participated as the second element in [[falling diphthong]]s, which have subsequently developed in various ways: For instance, after alpha or epsilon it is pronounced [f] or [v].
| |
| | |
| ==Correspondence with Latin Y==
| |
| | |
| The usage of [[Y]] in Latin dates back to the first century BC. It was used to transcribe loanwords from Greek, so it was not a native sound of Latin and was usually pronounced /u/ or /i/. The latter pronunciation was the most common in the Classical period and was used by most people except the educated ones. The [[Roman Emperor]] [[Claudius]] proposed introducing a [[Claudian letters|new letter]] into the [[Latin alphabet]] to transcribe the so-called ''sonus medius'' (a short vowel before labial consonants), but in inscriptions, the new letter was sometimes used for Greek upsilon instead.
| |
| | |
| Four letters of the [[Latin alphabet]] arose from it: [[V]] and [[Y]] and, much later, [[U]] and [[W]]. In the [[Cyrillic script]], the letters [[U (Cyrillic)|U]] (У, у) and [[Izhitsa]] (Ѵ, ѵ) arose from it.
| |
| | |
| In some languages (most notably [[German language|German]]), the name ''upsilon'' (''Ypsilon'' in German, ''ípsilon'' in Portuguese) is used to refer to the Latin letter '''Y''' as well as the Greek letter.
| |
| | |
| == Usage ==
| |
| * In [[particle physics]] the capital Greek letter Υ denotes an [[Upsilon particle]]. Note that the symbol should always look like <math>\,\Upsilon</math> in order to avoid confusion with a Latin Y denoting the [[hypercharge]].
| |
| * Automobile manufacturer [[Lancia]] has a model called the Ypsilon. See [[Lancia Ypsilon]].
| |
| * In [[linguistics]], the symbol is used to represent a [[labiodental approximant]].
| |
| * In [[astrophysics]] and [[physical cosmology]], <math>\Upsilon</math> refers to the [[mass-to-light ratio]].<ref>Mihalas and McRae (1968), ''Galactic Astronomy'' (W. H. Freeman)</ref>

| |
| Upsilon is known as Pythagoras' letter, or the Samian letter, because [[Pythagoras]] used it as an emblem of the path of virtue or vice.<ref>Brewer, Ebenezer Cobham. ''The reader's handbook of famous names in fiction, allusions, references, proverbs, plots, stories, and poems'', [http://books.google.com/books?id=n3kjAQAAIAAJ&pg=PA956&q=%22samian%20letter%22 Vol. 2, p. 956]. Lippincott, 1899.</ref> As the Roman writer [[Persius]] wrote in Satire III:
| |
| :"and the letter which spreads out into Pythagorean branches has pointed out to you the steep path which rises on the right."<ref>{{cite book|first=Persius|title=Satires|url=http://www.archive.org/stream/juvenalpersiuswi00juveuoft/juvenalpersiuswi00juveuoft_djvu.txt|authorlink=Persius}}</ref>
| |
| [[Lactantius]], an early Christian author (ca. 240 – ca. 320), refers to this:
| |
| :"For they say that the course of human life resembles the letter Y, because every one of men, when he has reached the threshold of early youth, and has arrived at the place "where the way divides itself into two parts," is in doubt, and hesitates, and does not know to which side he should rather turn himself."<ref>{{cite book|first=Lactatius|title=The Divine Institutes|pages=Book VI Chapter III|url=http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Ante-Nicene_Fathers/Volume_VII/Lactantius/The_Divine_Institutes/Book_VI/Chap._III|authorlink=Lactantius}}</ref>
