Hi,

I'm having a mild amount of trouble understanding the accents in Greek. I understand where they go and how they work, but what difference do they have on (a) pronunciation and (b) meaning, if any?

Hi,

I'm just starting to learn Greek, and have just downloaded White's Greek Book. I tried to download the Key for it as well, but it's nothing like complete (well, the site does say it's a work in progress...). Does anyone have a complete copy of it?

Ex. 85

1. Cyrus sent gifts to the generals.
ΚῦÏ￾ος δῶÏ￾á½° τοῖς στÏ￾ατηγοῖς ἔπεμπε.

2. He led the horse into the river.
τὸν ἵππον εἰς τὸν ποταμὸν ἔπεμπε.

3. The general had ships of war (lit. “long shipsâ€￾).
á½￾ στÏ￾ατηγός πλοῖα μακÏ￾á½± εἶχε.

4. ...

Ex. 80

1. οἱ σύμμακοι ἵππους εἲχον.

2 τὸν ἵππον εις τὴν κώμὴν ἤγον.

3. Ï„á½¹ χοÏ￾ίον στενόν ἦν

4. á½￾ ἄνθÏ￾ωπος κακος á¼￾ν πόλεμῳ ἤν.
