Abstract: O presente estudo descreve os contextos em que se emprega a letra γ como representação da consoante nasal velar [ŋ], apresenta uma hipótese da origem desta consoante e considera um problema que resulta de falhas na representação de étimos gregos em letra latina, com base em dados de vários dicionários de português e de alguns outros idiomas.
This study describes the contexts in which the letter gama is used in order to represent the velar nasal, it presents a hypothesis as to the origin of this consonant in Greek, and it considers a problem that results from the inadequate representation of Greek etyma in Roman script, as revealed in data from various dictionaries of Portuguese and other languages.
