Tó-chros

Is cros ar chruth “T” í an tó-chros nó τ-chros. Uaireanta leathnaítear na trí cheann den chros, mar atá sa phictiúr ar dheis.^[1] Ainmníodh í i ndiaidh na litreach Gréigise “tó” (τ,Τ) a bhfuil an chuma chéanna uirthi sa chás-uachtar agus atá ar an litir Laidine T.

Tugtar cros Antaine uirthi^[2]^[3] mar gheall ar a baint le San Antaine na hÉigipte, nó an crux commissa^[4] freisin, ceann de na ceithre léiriú bhunúsacha den chros.^[5]
