upper-case letter
n : one of the large alphabetic characters used as the first

and for small letters in separate cases; capitals were
kept in the upper half of the type case and so became
known as upper-case letters" [syn: {capital}, {capital
letter}, {upper case}, {majuscule}] [ant: {small letter}]
