Pronunciation of Greek Words.

_Gamma_ has always the hard sound of _g_, as in _give_.

_Kappa_ is represented by _c_ in English words, although in Greek it has
but one sound, that of our _k_.

_Upsilon_ is represented by _y_ in English words; in Greek it has always
the sound of _u_ in mute.

_Chi_ is represented in English by _ch_ having the sound of _k_; as in
_chronic_.

In Greek words, as in Latin, there are always as many syllables as there
are vowels and diphthong
