| {{Greek Alphabet|letter=chi}}
| |
| '''Chi''' ([[uppercase]] '''Χ''', [[lowercase]] '''χ'''; {{lang-el|χῖ}}) is the 22nd letter of the [[Greek alphabet]], pronounced {{IPAc-en|'|k|aɪ}} or {{IPAc-en|'|k|i:}} in English.
| |
| | |
| ==Greek==
| |
| [[File:NAMA Alphabet grec.jpg|thumb|The Greek alphabet on a [[black figure]] vessel, with a cross-shaped chi.]]
| |
| | |
| ===Pronunciation===
| |
| | |
| ====Ancient Greek====
| |
| Its value in [[Ancient Greek]] was an aspirated [[voiceless velar plosive|velar stop]] {{IPA|/kʰ/}} (in the [[Western Greek alphabet]]: /ks/).
| |
| | |
| ====Koine Greek====
| |
| In [[Koine Greek]] and later dialects it became a [[Fricative consonant|fricative]] ({{IPA|[x]}} / {{IPA|[ç]}}) along with [[Theta (letter)|Θ]] and [[Phi (letter)|Φ]].
| |
| | |
| ====Modern Greek====
| |
| In [[Modern Greek]], it has two distinct pronunciations: In front of [[close vowel|high]] or [[front vowel]]s ({{IPA|/e/}} or {{IPA|/i/}}) it is pronounced as a [[voiceless palatal fricative]] {{IPA|[ç]}}, as in [[German language|German]] ''ich'' or like the ''h'' in some pronunciations of the [[English language|English]] words ''hew'' and ''human''. In front of [[open vowel|low]] or [[back vowel]]s ({{IPA|/a/}}, {{IPA|/o/}} or {{IPA|/u/}}) and [[consonants]], it is pronounced as a [[voiceless velar fricative]] ({{IPA|[x]}}), as in German ''ach''.
| |
| | |
| ===Transliteration===
| |
| Chi is [[Romanization of Greek|Romanized]] as {{angle bracket|ch}} in most systematic transliteration conventions, but sometimes {{angle bracket|kh}} is used.<ref>[http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/3390/Achaea Encyclopedia Britannica]</ref> In addition, in Modern Greek, it is often also Romanized as {{angle bracket|h}} or {{angle bracket|x}} in informal practice.
| |
| | |
| ===Greek numeral===
| |
| In the system of [[Greek numerals]], it has a value of 600.
| |
| | |
| ===Xi===
| |
| In ancient times, some [[History of the Greek alphabet#Epichoric alphabets|local forms]] of the [[Greek alphabet]] used the chi instead of [[Xi (letter)|xi]] to represent the /ks/ sound. This was borrowed into the early [[Latin]] language, which led to the use of the letter X for the same sound in Latin, and many modern languages that use the [[Latin alphabet]]. | |
| | |
| ==Cyrillic==
| |
| Chi was also included in the [[Cyrillic script]] as the letter [[kha|Х]], with the phonetic value /x/ or /h/.
| |
| | |
| ==International Phonetic Alphabet==
| |
| In the [[International Phonetic Alphabet]], the minuscule chi is the symbol for the [[voiceless uvular fricative]].
| |
| | |
| ==Chiasmus==
| |
| Chi is the basis for the name [[Chiastic structure]] and the name of [[Chiasmus]].
| |
| | |
| ==Symbolism==
| |
| In [[Plato]]'s [[Timaeus (dialogue)|Timaeus]], it is explained that the two bands that form the [[Anima mundi (spirit)|soul of the world]] cross each other like the letter Χ.
| |
| | |
| Chi or [[X]] is often used to abbreviate the name [[Christ#.CE.A7|Christ]], as in the holiday [[Christmas]] ([[Xmas]]). When fused within a single typespace with the Greek letter [[Rho]], it is called the [[labarum]] and used to represent the person of Jesus Christ.

Many of them die due to starvation-related causes, suffer from physical problems, or end up committing suicide. It is important to treat such individuals with psychotherapy, family therapy, plus medication.
Besides the apparent weight plus BMI measurements, you will like to consider finding a model which has separate methods for male plus female users. Weight distribution for people are different and scales that have a gender way will offer more exact readings.
More direct evidence showing the guy needs is research where subjects have been rating pictures of real persons. Men found inside bmi chart women this form of study that women with ratio of .70 to .71 were more attractive than females with ratio of .73 to .74 (Rempala & Garvey, 2007).
