On this page you will find the transliteration guide and the quiz (Final) for Week Six. This is followed by the answer key for the quiz.
TRANSLITERATION GUIDE
Inasmuch as we cannot guarantee that everyone's web-browser is able to reproduce Greek fonts, we are using the following form of transliteration (wherever possible the logical equivalents will be used.) No attempt has been made to differentiate between long and short vowels except for e and o. These long vowels are underlined. There are no accents and no iota subscripts.
| alpha = a | iota = i | rho = r |
| beta = b | kappa = k | sigma = s |
| gamma = g | lambda = l | tau = t |
| delta = d | mu = m | upsilon = u |
| epsilon = e | nu = n | phi = ph |
| zeta = z | xi = x | chi =ch |
| eta = e | omicron = o | psi = ps |
| theta = th | pi = p | omega = o |
