η

η, the letter eta

Could not find ἤ2 in Logeion dictionaries. Looking for closest alphabetic form.

Ηη, ἦτα (q.v.), τό, indecl., eighth (later seventh) letter of the Gr. alphabet; as numeral ηʹ, = ὀκτώ and ὄγδοος, but ͵η,= 8,000. In most local alphabets of v B.C. and earlier it represents h, in others (incl. the Ion. = later general Gr. alphabet) one of the long ē sounds (cf. βῆ βῆ). Described by E. Fr. 382.5, Agatho 4.2.
