Both ευ and ηυ have variances in pronunciation: (1) Pronounce it as “Hey-you” but without initial “h” (2) pronounce it as in eulogy.It is written ς at the end of the word and σ elsewhere. Γ, γ (gamma) is pronounced as hard g (as in gift), never as soft g (as in gem).Notice any similarities between the Greek and English words. Read the following words paying attention to accents.They are not a 'phonetic alphabet' in the sense in which that term is used in. Memorize the Biblical Greek alphabet (its sequence, the names of letters and the sounds they make). The Allied military phonetic spelling alphabets prescribed the words that are used to represent each letter of the alphabet, when spelling other words out loud, letter-by-letter, and how the spelling words should be pronounced for use by the Allies of World War II.In Czech and Slovak, which have never used Cyrillic, 'azbuka' refers to. Archaic letter denoting the absence of /h/ prior to the vowel, with a normal or low pitch. The period (.) and comma (,) are used similarly to English. In Bulgarian, Macedonian, Russian, Serbian, Czech and Slovak, the Cyrillic alphabet is also known as azbuka, derived from the old names of the first two letters of most Cyrillic alphabets (just as the term alphabet came from the first two Greek letters alpha and beta). Archaic letter denoting the absence of /h/ prior to the vowel, with a high pitch on a short vowel or rising pitch on a long vowel. Simply, stress the syllabus which has the accent. Accents are posted above a vowel and help with word pronunciation. There are three kinds of accents in Greek: acute ( ´ ), grave ( ` ), and circumflex ( ῀ ). If a word has two ρρ letters in it, the first one has a smoothand the second a roughbreathing mark, respectively. Initial ρ and υ always have the rough breathing mark. Because when spelling was being standardised it was felt that words of Greek origin should have a ph where there was the Greek letter phi to retain some.

The smooth breathing mark ( ᾿ ) indicates that this initial “h” sound is absent. The rough breathing mark ( ῾ ) indicates that the first sound will have an initial “h” sound. It is placed above the vowels and “rho”, and above the second letter in the diphthongs. If a word in Greek starts with a vowel, diphthong or a letter ρ it must have a breathing mark written above it. Words in Greek can end on any vowel and on only three consonants: ν, ρ, ς. Exceptions are words of foreign origin such as Jewish personal names and geographical locations in the Greek Scripture. Hence, a new sentence starts with lower case letters. Upper case appears in the beginning of a paragraph, direct speech, proper names, geographical locations and names of nations.
