Mu ( / ˈ m ( j ) uː / ; uppercase Μ , lowercase μ ; Ancient Greek μῦ [mŷː] , Greek : μι or μυ—both [mi] ) is the twelfth letter of the Greek alphabet , representing the voiced bilabial nasal IPA: [m] . In the system of Greek numerals it has a value of 40. Mu was derived from the Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol for water, which had been simplified by the Phoenicians and named after their word for water, to become 𐤌 (mem). Letters that derive from mu include the Roman M and the Cyrillic М , though the lowercase resembles a small Latin U (u).
