Form
The Cyrillic letter El is not to be confused with the Cyrillic letter Pe (П п; italics: П п), which has a straight left leg, without the hook. An alternate form of the letter El (Л л; italics: Л л), more closely resembles the Greek letter Lambda (Λ λ).

Famous quotes containing the word form:
“Racism? But isn’t it only a form of misanthropy?”
—Joseph Brodsky (b. 1940)
“‘A thing is called by a certain name because it instantiates a certain universal’ is obviously circular when particularized, but it looks imposing when left in this general form. And it looks imposing in this general form largely because of the inveterate philosophical habit of treating the shadows cast by words and sentences as if they were separately identifiable. Universals, like facts and propositions, are such shadows.”
—David Pears (b. 1921)
“Reminiscences, even extensive ones, do not always amount to an autobiography.... For autobiography has to do with time, with sequence and what makes up the continuous flow of life. Here, I am talking of a space, of moments and discontinuities. For even if months and years appear here, it is in the form they have in the moment of recollection. This strange form—it may be called fleeting or eternal—is in neither case the stuff that life is made of.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
