I've found the following references to validate the existence of sho:

Seals it for me that a Greek university includes sho in their list of letters. —ERcheck @ 00:20, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit]  ?

How come when I was taught the Greek letters, it never even mentioned these so called "obselete" letters. I would have poster this on one of the other obselete pages, but this one was particular to me. I read the page, and it says this letter was ADDED to the alphabet. The reason this gets me is because most of these letters were removed. But if this was added, how have I never heard of it, and wh is it obselete?

It was added to the Greek alphabet as used in Bactria. It was never added to the Greek alphabet as used in Greece, which is what most people are familiar with.
It's obsolete because the Bactrian language itself is now extinct. --Ptcamn 01:40, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Questions

  1. When was this letter added?
  2. Which Greek words are written with a Sho?
