What does YOD mean in Scrabble?
noun
The tenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet, written as a single small stroke that also serves as a vowel-pointing mark inside other letters.
Smallest of them all, and that smallness travelled: the jot of not one jot reached English from yod through Greek. In writing it does double duty — a consonant close to the English y, and a marker that tells the reader which vowel belongs there.
