TransliterationThere are considerable differences between the various transliterations used to represent the Greek alphabet inEnglish. The table in the sidebar shows:• the "traditional" transliteration, in other words that used in Latin, representing classical Greek: this is the form in

which most Greek words have made their way into English• a "classical" transliteration, commonly used to represent more accurately the pronunciation of Ancient Greek,

although traditional forms are rarely used.• the "modern" transliteration often used for Modern Greek — see Transliteration of Greek into English for some

variations.Rough breathing was represented in some Greek dialects by an [h] while in others, the [h] represented the vowel eta(the origin of the sign is thought to be the left-hand half ( ├ ) of the letter H): a rough breathing over an initial vowelor diphthong – ἁ ἑ ἡ ἱ ὁ ὑ ὡ – indicates that the word was pronounced with an initial h, and a smooth breathing – ἀ ἐἠ ἰ ὀ ὐ ὠ – indicates the absence of an h, but this has since disappeared in speech, and Modern Greek omits thebreathings. An initial upsilon (υ) always had the rough breathing – ὑ – hence hy is very common at the start ofwords derived from Greek, but no (or very few) such words start with y.The letter rho (ρ) at the start of a word always had the rough breathing – ῥ – and is transliterated rh. If a rho wasgeminated within a word, the first ρ always had the smooth breathing and the second the rough breathing – ῤῥ –leading to the transiliteration rrh.In ancient Greek, gamma was used to represent nu before a khi, ksi, kappa and another gamma. On this list, wherethis occurs, the word is listed as if the gamma were in fact a nu.For a fuller discussion of these matters, see the Greek alphabet.Note: the distinction between the rough and smooth breathings as shown above may not be very clear on certain browsers.

Greek words with modern derivativesThe citation form shown is the form most commonly shown in dictionaries, but this form is often unrepresentative ofthe word as used to form a compound word, hence the Root form is also shown. In the case of verbs, the citationform is often by convention the first person singular, present indicative, (cf Latin), for instance φάγω (phagō), "Ieat", rather than the infinitive ("to eat"). The Greek forms are generally in their true root form; i.e., a noun or verbderived from an earlier form will appear under the earlier form.The "classical" transliteration as described above is used for both the Citation form and the Root form. Greek entriesare in alphabetical order according to the Greek alphabet, English entries by the Roman alphabet.

The Greek words are shown in polytonic orthography, in other words showing the breathings and the fuller range ofaccents, as used in Ancient Greek and in Modern Greek for those who do not accept the 1982 "monotonic reform".Note that alpha privatives are addressed under the heading of the positive form of the word whenever possible.
