M. WhiteNARRATOR
THE GREEK ALPHABET.
M. WhiteNARRATOR
ALPHA, BETA, GAMMA, DELTA, EPSILON, ZETA, EDA, THETA, iota kappa lambda mu nu xi omicron p rho sigma tau upsilon phi ki omega when iota is written under another vowel it is called iota subscript most editors use the character final at the end of words instead of normal pronunciation although there is a lack of agreement among scholars as to the best pronunciation of greek the tendency in this country is decidedly towards the adoption of what is called the continental method the essential features of which are presented in the following remarks alpha has a sound of a in father at the end of an unaccented syllable it is usually obscure like the a in penalty except at the end of a word before consonants in this same syllable it is usually short like a in hat the diphthong alpha iota is pronounced like ai in aisle and alpha like ou in house Gamma is always hard, like g in give.
M. WhiteNARRATOR
Before kappa, gamma, ki, z, it has the sound of ng.
M. WhiteNARRATOR
Epsilon is pronounced like e in get.

Ted GarvinNARRATOR
The phonetic alphabet of Cadmus, though so vastly superior to any system of symbolical hieroglyphics, for all purposes where anything like verbal accuracy was desired, was still very slow in coming into general use.
Ted GarvinNARRATOR
It was, of course, at first very difficult to write it, and very difficult to read it when written.
