+2

Level 87

Jul 27, 2019

Anyone else notice how they seemed to pronounce the Tri Lams more like the dry lambs?

+9

Level 59

Jan 7, 2013

The thing hardest for me here was spelling them in English.

+2

Level 59

Jan 5, 2017

Same! I know all the letters by heart but have rarely seen many of them spelled out in English.

+4

Level 65

Jan 6, 2017

Agreed. I mean, what the hell is Upsilon? I ended up using a dictionary to look up the English spelling.

+5

Level 22

Jan 26, 2013

Omikron is spelled with a k, not a c.

+6

Level 58

Jul 5, 2016

In English it is 'Omicron', in other languages like German and Dutch it is indeed 'Omikron'.

+6

Level 39

Jan 13, 2017

both are correct. both should be allowed

+3

Level 55

Jan 15, 2017

Agreed. Omikron is the only way I have ever seen it written down, and I'm American. It's actually more correct than omicron because "mikron" is the English transliteration of the Greek for little ("mega" is big, therefore, "little o" and "big O"). The only letter that makes a C sound in Greek is Kappa, which is always transliterated as a K.

+2

Level 59

Feb 25, 2019

The English transliteration of kappa is often C; consider Crete from Κρήτη or microscopic from μικρός + σκοπέω.

+2

Level 55

Feb 8, 2020

Very true, I stand corrected on that last part. However, I feel like the letters should be spelled the way they are in Greek, seeing as they're, you know, the letters themselves. IDK just my two cents

+1

Level 16

Jun 17, 2022

honestly i dont like the english spellings, imo they should be

alfa vita gamma delta epsilon zita ita thita iota kappa lamda mi ni xi omikron/omicron (whatever) pi ro sigma taf ypsilon fi hi psi omega

+2

Level 76

Jan 30, 2013

Curse you Upsilon!!!

+3

Level 28

Feb 25, 2013

Cod you accept "Ro" for "Rho" and "Jota"/"Yota" for "Iota"?

+3

Level 43

May 6, 2013

No

+5

Level 76

May 28, 2014

What about Yoda for Iota? Greek alphabet I know...hrrrmmmmm?

+2

Level 50

Jul 16, 2014

That's great. That is so, so great.

+2

Level 55

Jan 15, 2017

I don't know, cod you?

+2

Level 75

Jul 20, 2017

Well no, because the Latinized form of these letters couldn't have had a j until late in the empire. It would have been Iota through and through.

May 16, 2014

At my school, pledges had to sing the entire Greek alphabet while marching in line, everywhere they went. There wasn't a person in my dorm, Greek or Indie, who couldn't sing that annoying song in our sleep! I'm surprised I had 2:21 left. Should have gotten it even faster.

Level 30

Dec 6, 2014

holy crap, remembered the obvious four of course, as well as Xi from old Scrabble dictionaries.

Level 84

Jan 5, 2015

Being a physicist, this was easy. I almost forgot theta, our favorite letter for angles, though...

+4

Level 84

Jan 2, 2017

Anyway, some alternate spelling could be accepted : Khi for Chi, Ksi for Xi, Ypsilon for Upsilon.

Level 67

Sep 29, 2017

The hint "Ancient Greek, not modern" is misleading. The alphabets of ancient and modern Greek are identical. Plus, the names of the letters are identical. The only problem is that what you're looking for is not hte letter names, rather than the translations the american educational system has chosen to use on the letter names. Please clarify it.

Feb 4, 2019

I'm Greek and misspelled 'rho' and 'upsilon'

Who would write Y using a U? Seriously?

+1

Level 76

Mar 13, 2019

'Ypsilon' is the German spelling, and incidentally is also the German name of the letter 'y' in German!

+1

Level 76

Mar 13, 2019

I only got alpha, beta, gamma, delta, theta and omega - I knew these because of Maths and Physics (forgot sigma). I typed 'ypsilon' as it is a German letter (I'm learning German) but didn't bother to change the first letter although I initially intended to!

+2

Level 53

Mar 13, 2019

Please accept Ypsilon

+1

Level 67

Apr 8, 2019

If this is ancient greek, then should we add: Sampi, Koppa, San, Heta, and Zigamma.

Level 47

May 24, 2019

I don't think you need to, they are abandoned letters.

This is modern greek, not ancient as stated. The ancient alphabet also contained 3 more symbols: digamma (stigma), koppa and sampi.

This is too easy, do it with a yellow box. I know them in order XD not flexing XD

+5

Level 51

Feb 8, 2020

The distinction between modern and ancient Greek alphabet makes absolutely no sense because ancient and modern Greek language have the same letters.

An explanation that "Anglo-Saxon pronounciation and writing is required (even though some letters have a totally weird writing) " would be far better!!
