ሰ (sa)
The Ge'ez letter ሰ is called ሳት (sāt). It represents a “voiceless alveolar sibilant”, which is the sound s in the English words sea, sky, and soul.
Its shape ሰ is derived from the epigraphic character: 𐩪. It correlates to the Arabic letter س, the Syriac letter ܣ, and the Hebrew letter ס.
Ge’ez words starting with ረ include ሰማይ (samāy) “sky”, ሰላም (salām) “peace”, and ሰማዕት (samāʿt) “martyr”.
