p.r.o.nunciation of Greek Words.
_Gamma_ has always the hard sound of _g_, as in _give_.
_Kappa_ is represented by _c_ in English words, although in Greek it has but one sound, that of our _k_.
_Upsilon_ is represented by _y_ in English words; in Greek it has always the sound of _u_ in mute.
_Chi_ is represented in English by _ch_ having the sound of _k_; as in _chronic_.
In Greek words, as in Latin, there are always as many syllables as there are vowels and diphthongs.
An inverted comma placed over a letter denotes that the sound of our _h_ precedes that letter.
