[b]Comma[/b] serves the function of separating parts in a sentence. The European form of the comma developed from the symbol [U:002F] which was previously used for a similar purpose. The English name "comma" is derived from the Greek word κόμμα, meaning "cut-off" or "short sentence." Commas first appeared in Russian texts in the 1520s.
