Psi is a letter in the early Cyrillic alphabet, derived from the Greek letter of the same name. It represents the sound /ps/, as in English naps, in words like ѱаломъ. According to the school rules developed in the 16th and the 17th centuries, such as Meletius Smotrytsky's grammar book, it was intended for use in words of Greek origin, but it was occasionally used for writing native words as well like Russian ѱы. It was used especially in words relating to the Eastern Orthodox Church, as can be seen in its continuing use in Church Slavonic.
