Its name in English is ''i'' (pronounced ), plural ''ies''. Name In English, the name of the letter is the "long I" sound, pronounced . In most other languages, its name matches the letter's pronunciation in open syllables. History In the Phoenician alphabet, the letter may have originated in a hieroglyph for an arm that represented a voiced pharyngeal fricative () in Egyptian, but was reassigned to (as in English "yes") by Semites because their word for "arm" began with that sound.

XXXVII Corps (France)
37 (thirty-seven) is the natural number following 36 and preceding 38. In mathematics 37 is the 12th prime number, and the 3rd isolated prime without a twin prime. 37 is the first irregular prime with irregularity index of 1, where the smallest prime number with an irregularity index of 2 is the thirty-seventh prime number, 157. The smallest magic square, using only primes and 1, contains 37 as the value of its central cell: Its magic constant is 37 x 3 = 111, where 3 and 37 are the first and third base-ten unique primes (the second such prime is 11). 37 requires twenty-one steps to return to 1 in the Collatz problem, as do adjacent numbers 36 and 38. The two closest numbers to cycle through the elementary Collatz pathway are 5 and 32, whose sum is 37; also, the trajectories for 3 and 21 both require seven steps to reach 1. On the other hand, the first two integers that return 0 for the Mertens function ( 2 and 39) have a difference of 37, where their produ ...
