[edit] "latin" and "roman"
I don't know enough to know if these terms are interchangable. At one point the article refers to "latin 'i'" and at another it refers to "Roman 'I'". If these are the same, then it would be better to use either the term "latin" or "roman" exclusively.
[edit] Homo and homoi
I have added a brief description of these terms in latin type, though it would help if someone who knew the correct Greek spelling of "homoousios" and "homoiousios" (ousios = substance) would improve upon my effort. Dominic Widdows, Feb 28 2006.
[edit] Redirect from Jot
Though Jot redirects here, the only reference to the word is in the disambig link to Iota and Jot. --Ihope127 21:11, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Continental i
What the hell is continental i? I tried finding it online - nothing. Is it short i? is it the same thing is the mentioned "English ee" ? Fresheneesz 10:34, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Re: English usage
Before discussing the usage in regards to the Trinity, the article currently reads:
- The word "iota" is also used in English to express a very small amount, because iota is the smallest letter in the Greek alphabet.
Really, the Homo-ousios/Homoi-ousios seems a more substantial explanation, so I'm removing this first statement. 65.42.89.232 17:42, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
