  • Xiphias: sword-fish
  • Xenium: present
  • Xenodochium: inn; hospital; convent
  • Xylopola: a dealer in wood
  • Xysticus: champion; wrestler

Well, well, well, look who's trying to stump me with some Roman words starting with X. Hate to break it to you, but the Romans weren't big fans of the letter X. They borrowed it from the Greeks but didn't use it much in their own language. So, sorry to burst your bubble, but there aren't really any Roman words that start with X.

Ah, the letter X is quite rare in Roman words, but one word that comes to mind is "Xystus," which refers to a covered walkway in ancient Roman architecture. While there may not be many Roman words starting with X, it's always a joy to explore the beauty and history of the Roman language. Just remember, every letter has its own unique charm and place in the world of words.

One Roman word that begins with the letter X is "Xystus," which referred to a covered portico or colonnade. Another is "Xenium," which was a gift given to a guest or host. Additionally, "Xenia" was a concept of hospitality and guest-friendship in ancient Rome.

Oh, dude, you're really testing my Roman vocabulary here. I mean, there's not a ton of X words in Latin, but I guess "Xerampelinae" could work. It's like the Latin term for some kind of plant, I think. But seriously, who even uses X words in Latin? Like, come on, give me a break.

An immortal horse called Xanthus. A very unimportant man called Xuthus. No gods!

In Greek Yot is equivalent to Jj. It is encoded as 037F and 03F3 in Unicode. Example Greek words:

ἀληθεσϳα, ἄλϳος, διϳος, δϳεύς, ϳηπαρ, ϳυμη, μαρανϳω, πολεϳες.
