The Evolution of A and O in the Alphabet

This chapter discusses the origins and evolution of the letters A and O in the alphabet. It explains how the letter A originally had a different sound and was used for a specific consonant sound in Western European languages. The letter O, which was originally represented by a circle-shaped symbol, underwent changes in Greek and came to represent both the short and long O sounds. The Greeks later created a new letter O, called Omega, to distinguish the long O sound. The chapter also mentions how the Greek alphabet began and ended with vowels (Alpha and Omega). Finally, it connects the Greek phrase 'Alpha to Omega' to the Bible passage from Revelations.
