Not so The letter y is not Latin at all. It was introduced into the Latin language (along with z) to render Greek words. Lyric is a Greek word, not Latin. If, as you say, the upercase X of LyX is to echo the X of LaTeX, does that not strengthen my case? The argument is not really whether LyX

" follows the same rules as "i." Followed by two consonants it is short: x resolves into two consonants (ks). Therefore, the y in LyX must be short. The analogy is pyx -- this is a cup in a church. Russell also says: The "y" in LyX proves th

I have asked my brother who is a linguist, medieval latin sometimes uses the letter "y" instead of "i". So it may not be latin, but why not medieval latin? This information surely needs cross-checks.
