Changed: 1c1

The Classical language as well as the Modern Languages symbolize /m/ by means of M (Greek M¦Ô, My). Semitic M¨ºm originally pictured water, in all probability.

The thirteenth letter of the latin alphabet, M, represents the sound /m/ in Classical language as well as the Modern Languages. It derives its shape from the Greek Μ or μ. Semitic Mem originally pictured water, in all probability.
