In Response To: This must be it??? (Lara)

> after further research it looks like

> Numbers one to nine:
> Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, Digamma (anchient ruin = [ = 60 ),
> Zeta, Eta, Theta

> Numbers ten to ninety:
> Iota ( equals 10) , Kappa, Lambda, Mu, Nu, Xi, Omicron, Pi, Qoppa

> It appears that G1 has the Greek Numerals/letters Digamma and Iota (F and
> I) or (60 and 10)

> Digamma seems to have something to do with fractions as well??? any ideas?

> * the Digamma [ is showen at this address:

> * on another site it shows Sigma as equal to [ so this is going to be
