ፐ/ Pä: The second of ጰ; extra hybrid; Greek letter; twentysixth in form and order; it is a doubled ፈ/ fä; its name is ፒ፤ ፔ/ Pi, Pe; that is, it is ፊ ፌ/ fi and fe; it is written after fä because it is a doubled ፈ/ fä. It is called ፐ/ pä in Geez, but in Greek, Coptic, and Latin it is called ታው/ Tau or ቴ/ Te; it is said to be the last letter because it is ተ/ tä. But those who interpret ጰ as Pentecost and Paraclete also call this Panos Pnefmatos; Panos means spirit. The number eighty (፹) in Greek and Coptic is called ፐ/ pä, which is ፈ/ fä; the Hebrews also call it päh by adding a dot to fä. Because ፐ/ päs doubling is of ፈ/ fä, without losing its eightness, it becomes the number eight hundred; this shows that it goes on as ጰ 700, ፐ 800, ኈ 900, ቈ 1000, እ 1000, etc.; see the Abugida numbers. In Hebrew too, there are two types of ፈ/ fe, father and son; the father is called 80, and the son 800.
