R is the eighteenth letter of the modern Latin alphabet. Its name in English (pronounced /ɑr/) is spelled ar; its name in Hiberno-English is or (/ɔr/).

History

Egyptian hieroglyph tp Proto-Semitic R Phoenician R Etruscan R Greek Rho Later Etruscan R

The original Semitic letter was probably inspired by an Egyptian hieroglyph for "head", pronounced t-p in Egyptian, but it was used for /r/ by Semites because in their language, the word for "head" was Rêš (also the name of the letter). It developed into Greek Ρ ῥῶ (Rhô) and Latin R. It is likely that some Etruscan and Western Greek forms of the letter added the extra stroke to distinguish it from a later form of the letter P.

Minuscule

The minuscule (lower-case) form of r developed through several variations on the capital form. In handwriting it was common not to close the bottom of the loop but continue into the leg, saving an extra pen stroke. The loop-leg stroke shortened into the simple arc used today.

Another minuscule, r rotunda, kept the loop-leg stroke but dropped the vertical stroke. It fell out of use around the 18th century.You can see some on this page in historic types.

How much does an A&R (artist & repertoire) earn?
Q. I havent been able to find this answer anywhere. How much does an A&R, someone who finds new talents for record labels earn?
Asked by Brett K - Sun Jul 13 00:37:15 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Short answer: between $0 and $1million, but read on... This varies significantly based on the A&R person's past success and on the employer. The bigger companies (BMG, Universal, etc) tend to pay big money to their top few people, who tend to be presidents or VPs within the firm. I'd guess the very best make $500,000 per year or more. A&R people at independant labels can make almost nothing, and many have paychecks based largely on the success of the artists they find. If you aspire to go into A&R, you will find the problem is that it is an increasingly nebulous job description, and a very unstable career choice. The major labels are in trouble, and the system that's been established for years has been shaken to its foundation as… [cont.]
