Jot, properly Iota, designates the smallest letter of the Greek alphabet ( ); derived from the Hebrew jod ( י) and employed metaphorically to express the minutest trifle. It is, in fact, one of several metaphors derived from the alphabet—as when alpha, the first letter, and omega, the last, are employed to express the beginning and the end.
