The use of ω ( instead of ο) at the start of words and η (instead of ε) .... I saw it one source, even though the way you presented it is how it is spelt after Maths derivations / proofs.

I've never studied Ancient Greek, and very little modern ... but they are fast becoming my main interests at the moment.

So I do appreciate any input, thanks Alex :D


Oh. Then yes, the way I posted it is the way it is spelt, in ancient Greek. Good luck studying Greek, I'm sure you'll become as fluent as in English :D

Years ago my Czech wife (no. 2 wife) found a book written in 'Russian' (in Cyprus) in my uncles library. It was a book on architecture. She was fluent in Russian and was surprised she could not understand a word. I asked her to read it aloud, and I undestood every word written as it was written in Kazakhistani. She also noticed the extra letters not in the Russian alphabet. These were created to accommodate the sounds not represented with the Russian ' Cyrillic' alphabet.


Ergo .... it was not written in "Russian" :wink:



Give it a rest. We found out didnt we? :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:
