jota

I don't think the word is spelled like this, the most common spelling is ióta, so I request it for verification. Awewewe (talk) 16:49, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

If it's Czech, it needs an accent. https://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jóta —Stephen ^(Talk) 18:26, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

@Awewewe: I added links to Czech dictionaries showing "jota" is an actually spelling; it does not need to be "the most common" one, as per WT:ATTEST. “jota”, in Kartotéka Novočeského lexikálního archivu (in Czech) has various quotations; however, most use the Czech jota in the sense of jot: a very small, inconsiderable quantity.

By seaching in Google books[1], I found "jota" in the sense of Greek letter in the following:

• title:Učitelské Listy: časopis učitelstva na Moravě a v Slezsku 1874
• title:Naše řeč, Volume 87 2004
• title:Slovo a slovesnost, Volume 1 1935

The seach finds many other occurrences. I therefore consider the sense of the Greek letter cited. --Dan Polansky (talk) 21:26, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

Note that, contrary to the statement by the OP, "ióta" does not seem to be the most common spelling, per Google books search[2], which finds mere 77 hits. --Dan Polansky (talk) 08:02, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

• RFV passed: quotations are above. --Dan Polansky (talk) 12:11, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

Also a Slovenian soup

Isn't jota also the name of a Slovenian/Istrian soup? 173.88.246.138 20:35, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
