All of my dreidels have the Hebrew letters nun, gimmel, hey and shin on their 4 sides. These are short for the Yiddish words:

nun - nicht (you get nothing if this side turns up)

gimmel - ganz (you get the whole pot if this side turns up)

hey - halb (you get half the pot if this side turns up)

shin - shtell (you put one in to the pot if this side turns up)
