I don't think such.  Final sigma is neither uppwercase nor lowercase of
sigma, as you have said firstly.  In addition, it isn't even titlecase
of sigma.

Even if that behavior of regex is right, it won't work correctly for a
character that only one lowercase is assigned to two uppercases. (Though,
I don't know such a character.)
