Yeah, I amended that Alpha to Lamda--- but an Phi does not have a line at the bottom. The line going through it extends downwards, but that wouldn't make a difference if it was overlayed-- though it does look rounder like an Omicron.

i've seen phi's that were capped at the bottom and the top, especially in order to distibugish between captial and lower case As long as there's a line running thru it, it's good. It could also be a theta on its side....?

There's a folder called: igel tsetop non tse mucearG
Backwards: Graecum est non potest legi
Latin for: It is Greek; it cannot be read

Inside the folder are three files:

Hex for: LIGATURES
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligature_%28typography%29

add .jpg and open it to get:

Top right - mixes Omicorn and Tau

Top Left mixes - Gamma and Sigma

I have no idea how relevant this is, but there is a round symbol like that in trail signs that can mean. "end of trail" or "gone home"

as here: http://www.inquiry.net/outdoor/skills/b-p/signs.htm

It looks like the sun sign is a more relevant application here though...

= Ο + Τ = omicron (15) + tau (19)
= Θ + Μ = theta (8) + mu (12)
= Λ + Σ = lambda (11) + sigma (18)
= Θ + Π = theta (8) + pi (16)

= Θ + Μ = theta (8) + mu (12)
= Λ + Σ = lambda (11) + sigma (18)
= Θ + Π = theta (8) + pi (16)

Numeric values:

Omicorn = 70
Tau = 300
Theta = 9
Mu = 40
Lambda = 30
Sigma = 200
Theta = 9
Pi = 80

actually, if you decypher 34292024 in dec/char....guess what shows up? 8

I'm pretty sure it's Lamda and Sigma, not Gamma.

Yeah, I realized that a little later.... opps!

pssst you mixed the sides.
also, it's not gamma's current design but it does look like the precusor glyph gimel, imo

edit: the consensus says otherwise, nm

Regardless of consensus though, if you look at "Corresponding Phoenician letter" column at the Gamma row, here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_alphabet

"gimel" there looks exactly like what we're calling Lambda in that symbol, even if the gimel's wiki page has it a little different. In fact, the Lambda has both legs pointing further down-- the gimel actually looks a lot more like it, I hadn't noticed when I called it Lamda on the first page.
