The Greek letter pronounced more like Kai. But, yes, the anglicized written form of the Greek letter looks like the anglicized written form of the Chinese leader’s name. And I agree, I’m sure it was skipped in the interest of not being antagonistic.
- jason0597 5y agoIt's not really pronounced Kai, it's Xi. Ξύνω, Ξύστρα, Οξυγόνο, άνοιξε, ξένος, ξηρό, λέξη It's pronounced ξι, exactly. "ξ". Take it from a Greek ;)

- exegete 5y ago“Kai” (chi / χ) is a different Greek letter than “ksai” (xi / ξ).
- fastball 5y agoFair, but it still doesn't sound like the Chinese name ("shee")
