nu

Follows mu alphabetically

Nu is the thirteenth letter of the Greek alphabet (Ν, ν), used in mathematics and science to represent various quantities such as frequency or degrees of freedom.

In casual speech, nu is an alternative spelling of "new," particularly in internet slang and product branding where phonetic spelling creates a sense of novelty: nu metal, nu-disco. (Capitalized Nu is the Greek letter as a symbol.)
