ALPHA VARIANTS - ONE

 ALPHA VARIANTS

#alpha #letterA #historyofalphabet #alphabet 

The letter A has come a long way from being an Egyptian hieroglyph and a Canaanite pictograph to the modern vowel symbol it is today.

 

 

One of its greatest leaps was the shift from representing the glottal stop to being a vowel in Greek.

However its form had several variants differing in various polises and whether it was written in papyrus or  engraved on stone . The bull kept its horns for a few centuries !

Lettering on a Greco-Roman Mosaic Floor 

I normally share this type of image over on Metousia but this was such a lovely example of lettering I wanted my Glyphika readers to see it too!

The words are Health Life Grace Peace Euthumia = good will Hope
