Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the word alphabet is derived from Greek letters?

Yes. Two reference works state directly that the word 'alphabet' comes from the names of the first two Greek letters, alpha and beta. A third source mentions determining the word's etymology but does not spell out the derivation.
