  What it means

  Literally “to the iota.” Means to the letter, exactly, precisely — without the slightest deviation.

  Vocabulary

  • jota — iota (the letter i / the smallest detail)

  Grammar note

  'Do joty' uses the genitive of 'jota' after 'do.' 'Jota' comes from Greek 'iota' — the smallest letter, hence the smallest detail.
