Greek letters should be transliterated as:
ἀ a λ l
ἁ ha µ m
αη ae (not a dipthong) υ n
αι ai, ae, or e (preferably ae) ξ x
αυ au ὀ o (usually long)
β b ὁ ho (usually short)
γ g οι oe, oi, or e (preferably oe)
γγ ng final ον um
γκ nc final ος us
γξ nx ου u or ou (preferably u)
γχ nch medial ρ r
δ d initial ῥ rh
ἐ e (usually short) medial ρῤ rrh
ἑ he (usually short) σ s
ει ei or i (preferably i) final ς s
ευ eu τ t
ζ z, or zd never initial ὐ y
ἠ e (usually long) initial ὑ y
final ἠ a φ,ϕ ph
θ th χ ch
ἰ i ψ ps
ἱ hi ω o (usually long)
κ c or k (preferably c)
from Boror. Contrary to Boror, ancient Greek was a harder sounding language, like Latin, there were no soft
consonants.
χ is transliterated as ch, but it is the hard ch as on loch. χ is transliterated as kh in this manuscript to
prompt a more approprpiate pronounciation.

Modern Greek has monotonic othography and dynamic accents, consisting of a near vertical accent, ΄,
the tonos, and the diaeresis, ̈. The tonos indicates which syllable of the word is accented, and the diaeresis
over the second of two vowels together indicates the vowels are not a dipthong, but pronounced individually,
as in naïve. Classical Greek had polytonic orthography and a combination of pitch accents and breathing
marks. (When I started this I did not know the difference and it is still all Greek to me. In some sources it is
difficult or impossible to read these symbols, especially when one is totally ignorant of the subject; many early
entries here are guesses. For a quick and economical introduction to Greek accents and breathings, get
ITunes, visit the ITunes store, select iTunes U, select Language, select Fundamental Greek Grammar with Dr.
James Voelz, Concordia Seminary.) The pitch accents gave ancient Greek a lilting, sing-songy aspect,
described as being similar to modern Norwegian with high German consonants. Umpin Yiminy! This was the
