Etymology 3 From the first letter of en set and of en stage, two fundamental concepts of the theory. S (set theory) Proper noun en set theory An axiomatic set theory, developed by logician George Boolos, in which several of the axioms of ZF are derivable as theorems. en S has no axiom of extensionality and identity is absent from the other S axioms. en Compass points Size Book sizes Afar Letter aa aa letter 4 See also Afrikaans Pronunciation letter name af /ɛs/ Letter af af letter 19 See also Noun S's S'ie S American Sign Language Letter ase ase Stokoe notation 𝤃𝪜 Azerbaijani Pronunciation phoneme az [s] letter name az [es] [seː] [sɯː] Letter az az letter 25 See also Basque Pronunciation raw:/s̺/<q:phoneme> Letter eu eu letter 20 ese See also Further reading Catalan Pronunciation éssa ésse,és Letter ca ca letter 19 essa esse es See also Central Franconian Etymology /z/ /ʃ/ are from West Germanic *s.

However, s for [z] may be doubled or not. In the Dutch-based spelling, s is doubled after short vowels if the syllable were otherwise open.

Words from the classical languages and pre-1900 loanwords behave like native words. Stem-initial st and sp are pronounced /ʃt/ and /ʃp/ in native words. The same is generally true for classical and pre-1900 loanwords, though in this case we find some exceptions which are at least optionally pronounced with /st/ /sp/ (e.g. de Stil, de Stola). Recent borrowings tend to retain the original sounds. Again, this tendency is stronger with English than with other source languages (cf. e.g. de Spaghetti with /ʃp/). The trigraph sch is pronounced /ʃ/, except when there is an intervening morpheme boundary, which normally happens only with the diminutive suffix de -chen (cf. e.g. de Häuschen). Otherwise, pre-consonantal and word-final s is always pronounced /s/. This also includes st, sp when they are not stem-initial. The same is generally true for doubled ss. There are, however, a few words in which ss may – optionally – be pronounced /z/ (e.g. de Fussel, de Massel, de quasseln, de Schussel). For the orthographic choice between ss and de ß, see the latter.
