This is where the lack of "J" in the Greek alphabet really screws things up.

Iota Sigma maybe?

Iota would make sense actually... maybe just in my linguistically twisted mind though. Some people pronounce it "eye-ota" and others "ee-ota", which winds up sounding more like "ee-yo-ta"... I think the first may be more common but the second is more accurate.

In thinking about the letter J, it's spelled "Jota" in Spanish and Portuguese. Pronounced "Ho-ta" by the former and "Jo-ta" in Portuguese (the J is kind of like the word "je" in French, not like the J in Joe). Not THAT far off from ee-yo-otah. Especially considering some of the more lispy European accents (like Spain).

So... I could see them as being linked at some point in time. Of course, I could be completely off base but it's fun to think about.


And to OP2, good luck at UW!
