Nun is the fourteenth letter of the Semitic abjads, including Phoenician Nūn 10px, Hebrew Nun , Aramaic Nun 10 px, Syriac Nūn (unicode:ܢܢ), and Arabic Nūn (in abjadi order). It is the third letter in Thaana (), pronounced as "noonu". Its sound value is . The Phoenician letter gave rise to the Greek nu (Ν), Etruscan , Latin N, and Cyrillic Н. ==Origins== Nun is believed to be derived from an Egyptian hieroglyph of a snake (the Hebrew word for snake, ''nachash'' begins with a Nun and snake in Aramaic is ''nun'') or eel. Some have hypothesized a hieroglyph of fish in water as its origin (in Arabic, ' means large fish or whale). The Phoenician letter was named "fish", but the glyph has been suggested to descend from a hypothetical Proto-Canaanite "snake", based on the name in Ethiopic, ultimately from a hieroglyph representing a snake, (see Middle Bronze Age alphabets). in modern Arabic literally means "bad luck". The cognate letter in Ge'ez and descended Semitic languages of Ethiopia is ''nehas'', which also means "brass". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nun (letter)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
