[The Andy-Man]

How the hell is it pronounce? I am horridly confused, its supposed to be like frenc 'ruse' or something, but i see it transliterated as a 'y' sometimes, and arggg

Ancient greek? I speak science Greek

A is for alpha, of angular shearing
B is for beta, relativistic theory
G is for gamma, a photonic emission
D is for delta a small change in position
E is for epsilon, permittivity junction
Z is for zeta, Riemmannian function


etc. too lazy to think up more rhymes.

I don't need to know how to say upsilon

Paitkiss, I think that is in modern greek, in ancient greek, the iota already does that sound.

I will give a few ancient greek words (transliterated) with upsilon in it

sophrsune (in my sig)
phulattein
phuton

Perhaps they thought you meant Attic as in 'roof space'?

It's pronounced as "ue", like you'd pronounce a German name like Mueller or Schuettler.
