About the Arche: I recently asked a ancient greek university teacher how you pronounce "eu" and he said that its pronounced as in german, so more or less like oi (but not o-i).

as i understand it in ancient greek and latin Diphthongs like "eu" are not pronounced as it is in modern german, but like it is in italien, so the word EUROPA would be pronounced like "E-U ropa" (E like in Estonia, U like in... welll uuuu NOT iiiiuuuuuuuu) and not "ÖIROPA" (i don't know if you know how the letter "ö" is expressed in german).

Many thanks to Hooahguy for this great sig.
In "Qarthadastim", the "q" is an emphatic consonant, found throughout Semitic languages, but not seen in English, so you can't really give examples in english, only in Semitic languages. This corresponds to greek as Qoppa, an archaic letter used for the /k/ sound, and to Hebrew as Kuf/Quf. Hebrew, due to Indo-European influence, evolved to a point (Modern Hebrew) at which the emphatic consonants were no different than their non-emphatic counterparts. This results in the Quf/Kuf argument - the pronunciation would have likely been different in Old Hebrew, as opposed to Modern Hebrew.
Tet is pronounced the same as Tav (originally it was /tˤ/)
Quf is pronounced the same as Kaf with a dagesh (originally
Tzadi is pronounced as ts (originally /sˤ/)

I think, my fellow Germans meant the pronounciation of "Seleukeia" quite like stated by Keravnos. At least my German ancient-Greek-teachers would teach me to pronounce it that way. Although in German there is the habit to pronounce ancient Greek like classical Attic Greek with the exceptions of "phi" (pronounced as "f") and "chi" (pronouned as "ch" like in "Bach"). But apart from that Germans get acnient Greek quite accurate in pronounciation afaik.
Oh, and the letter "psi" is pronounced as "psi" in German. The Greek letters "M" and "N" are pronounced as "mü" and "nü" (don't know if you know how you pronounce the "ü" in German...).

Hmmmmm, I had no idea how different the european languages were, not just for words but how letters themselves are pronounced. It may be better if we say the words we disagree on in our own way, because that is probably what would have happened anyway.
