J: Jose (a formal name with Spanish origins).It also has some different spellings as well, such as: H (/ˈeɪtʃ/) is usually spelled with the letter h, as in horror, human, and house. G (/ˈdʒiː/) is usually spelled with the letter g, as in game, go, and garden. For example: he, she, we.į (/ˈɛf/) is usually spelled with the letter f, as in fire, first, and family, but it also has some strange phonetic usages as well. Many words use the long E /(ˈeɪ/) sound using the letter e. For example: candy or cutĭ (/ˈdiː/) has three different spellings. Pronounce the letter “C” as a “K” sound if the letter “C” is followed by the letters “A”, “O”, or “U”.Pronounce the letter “C” as an “S” sound if the letter “C” is followed by the letters “E”, “I”, or “Y”.A-E: a in the middle of the word, with e at the end as in grade or snakeĬ (/ˈsiː/ ) is a tricky letter since it has more than one pronunciation and doesn’t sound as its letter unless you spell it as sea or see.Many words use the long A /(ˈ/ˈiː/) sound using the letter a. Take a look at how you can spell each letter sound out. Letters also have a specific sound associated with them, and not only can you spell them phonetically to sound the same as you pronounce them, but you should also be familiar with the different phonetic spellings of their sound. In the capitalized form, the plurals are made by either -s or -‘s (e.g., L’s or As). Vowels still stand for themselves, and while very rare, the plural of vowels are made by adding -es. The names of men which end in -ος are always written with Ο,ο.Each letter of the English alphabet can be spelled as itself (e.g., a DJ or T-shirt), or it can be spelled out using its name (e.g., a deejay or tee-shirt). Masculine grammatical gender nouns and adjectives end in -ος. Neuter grammatical gender words, nouns and adjectives, that usually refer to objects or animals are written with the short Ο,ο in the final syllable. When do we use Ο,ο in a word and when do we use Ω,ω?Īction verbs, that is all verbs of active grammatical voice, always end in Ω,ωin the Present tense, first person Singular. Try to say loud the Greek ΕΓΩand the English EGO and sense how does each word feel. Isn’t the shape of Ω, like a gate opening to the Beyond? Jesus Christ has said: “I am the Alpha and the Omega”. It is probably not accidental that Ωis the last letter of the Greek alphabet.Ω is the first letter of the godΩκεανός =Ocean, from which all creatures and gods emerged, and the gate to Hades. This speculation is strengthened by two facts: active voice verbs in the first person singular also end in Ω,ω, while neuter grammatical gender words, which usually refer to objects and animals, end in the short O,o. ΕΓΩ ends with the long Omega and not with the short Omikron.ĭoes this spelling reflect a perception of self, that unfolds from inside and is proud of its “being”? Most probably. It is rooted deep into the throat and comes up, while the tongue folds back for a moment getting ready to bring the sound forth. ΕΓΩ continues with a sound Γ,γ that comes from inside. Greek Ε,ε is a sound that remains inside the mouth, while exhaling. The Greek word ΕΓΩ, from which the Freudian ego derives, begins with an open Ε,ε, still not wide open like the alfa sound Α,α. Therefore, we may quite safely assume that ancient Greeks carefully decided how it would sound and how it would be written. Undoubtedly, some words, like the word I, were of particular importance. We really do not know how the words, their spelling and their sounds, were invented. The Greek ΕΓΩ, εγώ is different than the English EGO regarding the sound and the spelling. Some of them we still keep today, though in modern Greek we generally haven’t preserved the long and the short sounds of the syllables. For them it was also important that certain categories of words would end in the long o: Ω, ωor in the short o:Ο, ο, which means that they had grammatical rules regarding the spelling of the words. For Ancient Greeks it was important to indicate the long and the short sound o. What is the difference between these two letters? The difference is that Ο,οpossesses always a short sound, while Ω,ω possesses always a long sound, let’s say twice the duration of the short Ο,ο. The OmikronΟ,οand Omega Ω,ωletters both possess the sound o, like in the word -o-rganism. Greek alphabet has different vowels that possess the same sound.
