It represented either the sound / z/ as in English and French, or possibly more like / dz/ (as in Italian zeta, zero). The Semitic symbol was the seventh letter, named zayin, which meant "weapon" or "sword". Under the NATO spelling alphabet, the letter is signified with ZULU, like the Zulu people. In Esperanto the name of the letter Z is pronounced /zo/. In Standard Chinese pinyin, the name of the letter Z is pronounced, as in "zi", although the English zed and zee have become very common. tseta /tseta/ or more rarely tset /tset/ in Finnish (sometimes dropping the first t altogether /seta/, or /set/ the latter of which is not very commonplace). Several languages render it as / ts/ or / dz/, e.g. Other languages spell the letter's name in a similar way: zeta in Italian, Basque, and Spanish, seta in Icelandic (no longer part of its alphabet but found in personal names), zê in Portuguese, zäta in Swedish, zæt in Danish, zet in Dutch, Indonesian, Polish, Romanian, and Czech, Zett in German (capitalised as a noun), zett in Norwegian, zède in French, zetto ( ゼット) in Japanese, and zét in Vietnamese. Its variants are still used in Hong Kong English and Cantonese. This dates from the mid-18th century and probably derives from Occitan izèda or the French ézed, whose reconstructed Latin form would be *idzēta, perhaps a Vulgar Latin form with a prosthetic vowel. Īnother English dialectal form is izzard / ˈ ɪ z ər d/. In most English-speaking countries, including Australia, Canada, India, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa and the United Kingdom, the letter's name is zed / z ɛ d/, reflecting its derivation from the Greek letter zeta (this dates to Latin, which borrowed Y and Z from Greek), but in American English its name is zee / z iː/, analogous to the names for B, C, D, etc., and deriving from a late 17th-century English dialectal form. Its usual names in English are zed ( / ˈ z ɛ d/) and zee ( / ˈ z iː/), with an occasional archaic variant izzard ( / ˈ ɪ z ər d/). Unlike most villains who are seen as enjoyable and sophisticated, the High Priest of Sodom goes out of his way to be vile, repulsive, egomaniacal, unsympathetic, and, utterly ruthless.Z, or z, is the 26th and last letter of the Latin alphabet, as used in the modern English alphabet, the alphabets of other western European languages and others worldwide.He says that he knew Oh would break his heart and falls back into the furnace where he meets a fitting end.

In the ensuing chaos, the advisor kills the King and claims the crown, Abraham arrives with his family to kill the authorities, and Oh and Eema get together. However, the High Priest betrays them and orders them stoned to death for "blasphemy". Zed and Oh enter, and neither of them are killed. To Oh's horror, Eema comes by and sees Oh rubbing oil on the High Priest but Oh tries to tell Eema it's not what she thinks it is.ĭuring a tour of the palace, the High Priest introduces Oh to the furnace, which the Priest says is where the gods live, and anyone unworthy who enters there will die. Oh is a virgin so this means the High Priest kind of wants Oh as the next sacrifice. After unsuccessfully trying to flirt with Eema, the High Priest calls Oh over and tries to seduce him by getting Oh to rub oil on his chest. Oh is a servant and so he is made to do odd acts such as being a living statue in the main hall. The High Priest heads out to choose the sacrifice and Zed and Oh are shocked when he chooses a sultry virgin to be thrown to Baal. The High Priest, who is grossly overweight and vain, dismisses such rumors as groundless, and the slimy advisor agrees. A gigantic bull's head is visible as a statue, and the High Priest first appears in a meeting with the King of Sodom, who fears an uprising.

The High Priest first appears during a tour of the city where all the townspeople run to witness a sacrifice to the god Baal.
