That capital eta actually was used as a pure aspirate and not the letter eta (in that inscription is one example - it's no eta there). But that was not that common and fell out of fashion after a certain point way before our game.Originally Posted by Marinakis
It's also interesting to note another thing about the greek letter we are talking about dropping the english 'h' after using: how is it spelled in english itself? rho. Should we drop it to 'ro' to be correct, or leave it as 'rho'?
Also, from your title, you used "Pyrrhus" instead of "Pyrrus". See how much we all want to keep that 'h'![]()
