Kwa matumizi ya tarakimu inamaanisha namba 20.
Kama neno lenye asili ya Kigiriki limepokelewa katika lugha ya Kiingereza mara nyingi herufi "C" imechukua nafasi ya "K". Sababu yake ni kwamba Waroma waliandika "k" mara nyingi kama "c" katika Kilatini maana hawakutofautisha herufi hizi mbili.
Jinsi ilivyo kawaida kwa herufi mbalimbali za Kigiriki, kappa inatumiwa kama kifupisho kwa ajili ya dhana mbalimbali katika hesabu na sayansi.
