Origin

The letter is based on Dzělo ( ) in the Early Cyrillic alphabet, where it had the numerical value 6. The letter Dzělo was itself based on the letter Dzelo in the Glagolitic alphabet. In the Glagolitic alphabet it was written , and had the numerical value of 8.

The origin of Glagolitic letter "dzelo" is unclear, however, the Cyrillic Ѕ is probably derived in some way from the Greek letter "Ϛ" (stigma), which had the same numerical value (6), and was similar in pronunciation (/st/ in Greek, /dz/ in Slavic). Thus the homoglyphic traits of the Cyrillic Ѕ and Latin S are largely coincidental, although the letters are distantly related: the Latin letter originates directly from the Greek sigma (Σ), whereas the Cyrillic letter originates from the pair of letters Στ (upper case) στ (lower case).

Development

The initial sound of the letter S in Old Church Slavonic was a soft /dz/ or /z/, which often became a /g/ sound in modern Russian, as in мъноѕи (Russian: мъногъ), по ноѕѣ (Russian: нога), and растрьѕати (Russian: растръгати). However, already in the Old Slavic period the difference between S and З began to be blurred, and in the written Church Slavonic language from the middle of the 17th century the letter Ѕ was used only formally.
