Upsilon
Upsilon (uppercase Υ, lowercase υ; , ''ýpsilon'', (:ˈipsilon); or , or 〔''Oxford English Dictionary'', "upsilon, ''n.''" Oxford University Press (Oxford), 2013.〕) is the 20th letter of the Greek alphabet. In the system of Greek numerals, has a value of 400. It is derived from the Phoenician waw . ==Etymology== The name of the letter was originally just “υ” (''y''; also called ''hy'', hence "hyoid", meaning "shaped like the letter υ"), but the name changed to “υ ψιλόν”, (''u psilon'', meaning 'simple u') to distinguish it from οι, which had come to have the same pronunciation.〔See W. Sidney Allen, ''Vox Graeca'', 3rd ed., Cambridge 1987, p. 69.〕
