I'm wondering, when did the Greek alphabet gain its current
uppercase/lowercase distinction? What did it originally mean? In
Hebrew there are 3-5 letters with word-final forms. Given that there
were no spaces between words in Greek either, could the alternate letter
forms have been to show where words started and ended?
I did try to find this out on the web, but didn't find anything.
