2. The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48
X \X\ ([e^]ks).
   X, the twenty-fourth letter of the English alphabet, has
   three sounds; a compound nonvocal sound (that of ks), as in
   wax; a compound vocal sound (that of gz), as in example; and,
   at the beginning of a word, a simple vocal sound (that of z),
   as in xanthic. See Guide to Pronunciation, [sect][sect] 217,
   270, 271.
   [1913 Webster]

   Note: The form and value of X are from the Latin X, which is
         from the Greek [Chi], which in some Greek alphabets had
         the value of ks, though in the one now in common use it
         represents an aspirated sound of k.
         [1913 Webster]

    68030, or 68040, and 80x86 stands for 80186, 80286, 80386, 80486, 80586 or
    80686 (note that a Unix hacker might write these as 680[0-6]0 and 80[1-6]86

5. The Devil's Dictionary (1881-1906)
X in our alphabet being a needless letter has an added invincibility
to the attacks of the spelling reformers, and like them, will
doubtless last as long as the language.  X is the sacred symbol of ten
dollars, and in such words as Xmas, Xn, etc., stands for Christ, not,
as is popular supposed, because it represents a cross, but because the
corresponding letter in the Greek alphabet is the initial of his name
-- _Xristos_.  If it represented a cross it would stand for St.
Andrew, who "testified" upon one of that shape.  In the algebra of
psychology x stands for Woman's mind.  Words beginning with X are
Grecian and will not be defined in this standard English dictionary.
