This feature is all about Z (zee). 
Z it to believe it! ;-)

If unable to answer a question, you are encouraged to click the link of the article and search for answers there.

Z


1) Our Z is the 26th letter in our alphabet. In whose alphabet is this the 7th letter?

2) In reference to question #1, what did they call this letter?

3) The Phoenicians called their version "zayin". What did this word mean in English?

4) What do you call the Greek letter based from the Phoenician zayin?

5) True or false: This Greek letter variation (from question #4) looks like our capital Z.

6) Why is the letter Z the last letter in our alphabet?

Clueless? Perhaps this link will help.



Cats can make Z-purr sounds like the zip of your pants.
