[quote author=Keesa link=board=2;threadid=414;start=0#3373 date=1060546562]<br />Mostly, I'm having problems with the Greek letters that look like English letters but have a different sound...rho looks like our "p", for example, and nu looks like a "v". Pi I can remember from math class, but that still leaves omega (it looks like a w), eta (it looks a little like an n) and gamma (y). <br /><br />Keesa<br />[/quote]<br /><br /><br /> from alpha to tau, including digamma and koppa, there was little difference between greek and latin alphabets, but mere difference of writing styles developed to standing out discrepancies. (upsilon to omega is greek invention)<br /><br />study on related alphabets (as old hebrew or phoenician), or the old greek inscriptions and ostracons(used in ostracism) will connect the gap and help you to see the analogy. (Or add more confusion
