World Book L.12

---

L is the 12th letter of our alphabet. It was also a letter in the alphabet used by the Semites, who once lived in Syria and Palestine. They named it lamed, their word for goad, or crooked staff. They adapted an Egyptian hiero- glyphic (picture symbol) meaning goad to represent the letter. The ancient Greeks took the letter into their alpha- bet and called it lambda. Later, the Romans borrowed it from the Greek alphabet and gave the letter its present capital L form. See Alphabet.

Uses. Lor /is the 11th most frequently used letter in books, newspapers, and other printed material in Eng- lish. Lis the Roman numeral for 50. When it is written with the crossbar, as £, it is the sign for pound in English money, and comes from the Latin word libra, or pound.
