Original Word: ἰῶτα, τό
Part of Speech: Indeclinable Letter (Noun)
Transliteration: ióta
Phonetic Spelling: (ee-o'-tah)
Short Definition: a small letter of the Greek alphabet
Definition: iota, a small letter of the Greek alphabet, used in the NT (like yod, the Hebrew or rather Aramaic letter which was the smallest of all) to indicate the smallest part.

2503 iṓta ("jot" in the KJV) – "yōd, the smallest Hebrew (Aramaic) letter" (Souter). By analogy, the Hebrew letter yōd refers to the Greek letter, iōta (the smallest letter in the Greek alphabet). This symbolizes how each and every detail of the Hebrew-Greek text of Scripture (its grammar) is guaranteed by the Lord Himself to be inerrant and unstoppably powerful!

STRONGS NT 2503: ἰῶτα

ἰῶτα, τό, iota (A. V. jot), the Hebrew letter, yodh י, the smallest of them all; hence equivalent to the minutest part: Matthew 5:18. (Cf. Iota.)
