It’s interesting how Greek turned album into άλμπουμ.
Some words are used with the english version but written in greek. Just like all those greek words (αναλογία / analogy, ευφορία / euphoria, παρωδία / parody etc) turned to english 😉
What got me, though, is how the word is spelled: almpoum, where the original b has gotten spelled as mp. But then I remembered hearing that β conveys the sound v in modern (as opposed to ancient) Greek, so you’d need some other way to represent the b sound. I searched online just now and found a site that confirms that the sounds b, g, d are spelled respectively ΜΠ, ΓΚ or ΓΓ, and ΝΤ. You grew up with those spellings, so you don’t think about them, but a foreigner like me misinterprets them unless they’re explained. Live and learn.
Oh, you’re right. I didn’t think about that. B to us is pronounced as you V. G is our ΓΓ [two g’s – one G [Γ] is pronounced GH ….a softer g!] Your D is our NT and so on! I think a good analogy is our Ψ which is your PS! 😉
At least English PS accurately reflects the sound of Ψ. In the case of English TH, however, the sound is not that of a T followed by an H, but instead the sound you convey with the single letter 𝚹. And it’s even more complicated because English TH has two possible sounds, a voiceless one in thin and a voiced one in then. English spelling is a mess.
A ha ha haaaaaa….. yes, TH is our Delta [Δ], however the lighter sounding TH [Θ Theta] is pronounced like “eighth – fifth…” 😉
Happy Weekend dear Marina and Oannes! 💛
