|The Greek letter ''iota'' derives from the [[Hebrew]] '''י''' or ''yod'', commonly called a "jot" on account of its small size. The phrase "one iota" survives today in common English and means exactly what it meant to St. Matthew: a tiny amount.

The prime-mark is the [[Hebrew]] ''gerash'', called '''κεραια''' or ''keraia'' in Greek; this was called a "tittle" in Elizabethan [[English]]. The ''gerash'', or the double-prime called ''gershayim'' (dual number), appeared often in Hebrew manuscripts to distinguish numbers (written with ordinary alphabetic letters) from regular text.
