Polish- or Łukasiewicz's notation for logic

The table below shows the core of w:Jan Łukasiewicz's notation for w:sentential logic, or Propositional Logic. The "conventional" notation did not become so until the 1970s and 80s. Some letters in the Polish notation table means a certain word in Polish, as shown:

Concept	Conventional notation	Polish notation	Polish / English word
w:Negation		Nφ	negation (No)}
Conjunction		Kφψ	conjunction
w:Disjunction		Aφψ	alternate OR=disjunction
w:Material conditional		Cφψ	implication
w:Biconditional		Eφψ	equivalence'
w:Falsum		O	False value
w:Sheffer stroke		Dφψ	Sheffer stroke
Possibility		Mφ	contingent
Necessity		Lφ	Necessary condition
w:Universal quantifier	Πpφ	kwantyfikator ogólny	ANY: For all p, \phi\|Universal quantifier
Existential quantifier		Σpφ	Exists
