iota / keraia ἰῶτα / κεραία iōta / keraia

'Not one iota, not one little hook' (Matthew 5:18) — a GREEK sentence pointing at HEBREW letters: iōta stands for yod (י), the alphabet's smallest letter; keraia ('little horn') is the serif-stroke distinguishing near-twin letters. KJV 'one jot or one tittle' — 'jot' IS iota, worn smooth by English mouths. → first discussed at Matt 5:18
