<thinking>Let's approach this step-by-step:
Let us work through this systematically (CoT):

Step 1: How do we understand the challenge prompting me to do?
Calculate the quantity of letter "r" in the string "Isthmus"

Step 2: Break down the word.
I-S-T-H-M-U-S


1. I
2. S
3. T
4. H
5. M
6. U
7. S

Step 3: Locate the positions of the letter "r".
The letter "r" does not appear in the word.

Step 4: Sum up the letters.
T: 1, M: 1, U: 1, S: 2, I: 1, H: 1

Step 5: Review the letters we quantified.
The selected letter was "r" and there were 0 in all.

To conclude:
The letter "r" appears 0 repetitions in "Isthmus".</thinking>
