M \M\ ([e^]m).
   1. M, the thirteenth letter of the English alphabet, is a
      vocal consonant, and from the manner of its formation, is
      called the labio-nasal consonant. See Guide to
      Pronunciation, [sect][sect] 178-180, 242.

   Note: The letter M came into English from the Greek, through
         the Latin, the form of the Greek letter being further
         derived from the Ph[oe]nician, and ultimately, it is
         believed, from the Egyptian. Etymologically M is
         related to n, in lime, linden; emmet, ant; also to b. M
         is readily followed by b and p. the position of the
         lips in the formation of both letters being the same.
         The relation of b and m is the same as that of d and t
         to n. and that of g and k to ng.

   2. As a numeral, M stands for one thousand, both in English
      and Latin.

      500 m's of pica would be a piece of matter whose length
      and breadth in pica m's multiplied together produce that
      number. [Written also {em}.]

   2. (law) A brand or stigma, having the shape of an M,
      formerly impressed on one convicted of manslaughter and
      admitted to the benefit of clergy.
