=Yod=

The first stroke is conceptually an infinitesimally small dot. That is difficult to draw and even harder to see, so the yod is used to represent it. It is the same as the tenth letter of the alphabet. To the Greeks it is the iota. In English we call it a jot. Jesus said that the tiniest part of the law would not disappear before it was all fulfilled.<ref>[[Mt 5:18]] For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.</ref>
