Sin (letter)

The Arabic letter س sīn is the 12th letter in the common Hijā'i order, and the 15th letter in the Abjadi order. Based on Semitic linguistics, Samekh has no surviving descendant in the Arabic alphabet, and that sīn is derived from Phoenician šīn 𐤔 rather than Phoenician sāmek 𐤎, but unlike the Aramaic 𐡔‎‎ sīn/šīn and the Hebrew ש‎ sīn/šīn, Arabic س sīn is considered a completely separate letter from ش šīn, and is written thus:

Order
In the Maghrebian abjad sequence (quoted in apparently earliest authorities and considered older by Michael Macdonald): • Ṣād replaces Samekh at 15th position and acquires the numerical value of 60; • Ḍād, a variant of ṣād, is at the 18th position and has the numerical value of 90; • Sīn is still at its original 21st position and retains the numerical value of 300. == See also ==
