<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GinoLR, post: 8092854, member: 128351&quot;]I don&#039;t think the Greek C is a Roman (Latin) letter. It is a lunar sigma, the letter written Σ in Hellenistic times and C in the late Roman and Byzantine times (this is why it is written C in Cyrillic alphabet). Same for E which became Є, or Ω which became Ѡ. It is called lunar script. </p><p>In Aristophanes, bleating sheep say <b>Βηη</b>. This shows that in 4th c. BC Athens, the B (beta) was pronounced B and not V like today. In modern Greek Βηη would sound &quot;vii&quot;. This is not what sheep say, they say Bää. So we can say that in the 4th c. BC B was pronounced B and η was pronounced ä.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
