Noun
eta (plural etas)
- The seventh letter of the Modern Greek alphabet, the eighth in Old Greek.
- 2022, R. F. Kuang, Babel, HarperVoyager, page 25:
- Greek was an exercise in making the familiar strange. Its alphabet mapped onto the Roman alphabet, but only partly so, and often letters did not sound how they looked — a rho (Ρ) was not a P, and an eta (Η) was not an H.
- (physics) A kind of electrically neutral meson having zero spin and isospin.
