Numeració àtica: diferència entre les revisions

A més, els símbols que representaven els nombres 50, 500, 5000 i 50000 eren una combinació del símbol 'pi' antic (amb la pota dreta curta) i una manera d'aplicar una potència de deu. Per exemple, 'pi' i 'delta' combinats en un símbol representaven 50, 'pi' i 'eta' representaven 500.

 

 

<!--The use of Η for 100 reflects the early date of this numbering system: Η ([[Eta (letter)|Eta]]) in the early Attic alphabet represented the sound /h/. In later, "classical" Greek, with the adoption of the Ionic alphabet throughout the majority of Greece, the letter eta had come to represent the long e sound while the rough aspiration was no longer marked.<ref>See A.G.

ISBN 0674362500.</ref> It wasn't until [[Aristophanes of Byzantium]] introduced the various accent markings during the Hellenistic period that the [[spiritus asper]] began to represent /h/. Thus the word for a hundred would originally have been written ΗEΚΑΤΟΝ, as compared to the now more familiar spelling {{polytonic|ἑκατόν}}. In modern [[Greek language|Greek]], the /h/ phoneme has disappeared altogether, but this has had no effect on the basic spelling.-->
