My only other quieries are whether there are general rules. For example what is the difference between all the suffixes? (e.g. 'ai', 'oi' and 'es' in 'Skythai', 'Keltoi' and 'Thraikes'). There are so many words I don't know how to Hellenise. Such as 'Hellenic' and 'Boii', all the places and tribes I talk about need this treatment so it's a massive task. Is there any easy way of converting these words? Also the word 'empire' be useful. I understand that 'Arche' doesn't mean this does it? Or would 'Arche Getia' work?
If thiese questions are too big to answer then just say. I should probably get a 'Teach Yourself Ancient Greek' book or go have lessons. I just want to get my AAR consistent and sensible whithout using the modern English names for peoples and places. It's sort of a challenge I set myself.
