Γ΄, γ΄
G΄, g΄
Sounds Like: GAH-mah
Translations: 3, third
From the root: Γ
Part of Speech: Numeral, Symbol
Explanation: This symbol, 'Γ΄', represents the numeral 3 in Koine Greek, often functioning as an ordinal (third) or cardinal (3). The apostrophe-like mark (keraia) indicates that the letter is being used as a number. It is a common way to denote numerical values in ancient Greek texts. It is also possible, though less likely in this context, that the apostrophe-like mark is a coronis, indicating an elision or crasis, but its placement after a single letter strongly suggests its use as a numeral.
Inflection: Does not inflect (as a numeral symbol)
