ϡ   also   parakuisma (παρακύισμα)  around/having to do with pregnancy                                                                                                        possible pronunciation:  ss

The letter ϡ means parakuisma; having-to-do-with (παρα)-pregnancy (κύισμα).

The letter , the alternative for this letter, resembles an upwardly pointing arrow.



RESEMBLES PREGNANT BELLY

It is interesting to note that the last letter of the Greek alphabet, the letter ϡ , parakuisma (παρακύισμα), “having to do with pregnancy,” seems to illustrate pressure causing a line to bow outward, much like a pregnant belly.

RESEMBLES A BOW

Toksotees (Τοξότης), the November-December constellation also known as Sagittarius, appears when the sun enters its lowest point in the sky, just prior to the winter solstice, when the sun begins its upward trajectory. Toksotees (Τοξότης) could be considered to be “tee-ing up” or “launching” the sun into an upward trajectory at the winter solstice.

It is interesting to note that the last letter of the Greek alphabet, the letter ϡ (called parakuisma (παρακύισμα) which means “around conception; having to do with conception” and which is equivalent to the number 900), resembles a tokson (τόξον), a bow. Since the first letter, the letter Α, means “arising,” having the last letter resemble a bow suggests circularity.
