<<< This 'lunate sigma' is why Cyrillic uses 'C' for /s/, right? Right... as I understand it, at the time these Greek-based alphabets were developed (traditionally by St. Cyril), 'C' was in vogue as a form of Sigma... Coptic also uses 'c' for the /s/ sound: http://www.stshenouda.com/coptlang/coptlsnhtm.htm -jjw Iesous Khristos Theos hUios Soter.
