z.phyr, Cipher and Zero.

Zephyr" and "clpher" and Zero"
are words that come to the English
from the Arabic "sifr," which meant
literally "empty" and SO nothing" and
the figure that represents nothing. In
medieval Latin this figure was called
both "clphra" and "zephyrum," the lat.
ter probably from association with "ze.
pllyrus" or something even lighter
than air: hence through the italian
"zefiro" there is the word Zero" as a
doublet with "clpher."
