Alphabet Practice

Here are some names for you to read out loud in order to practice the alphabet. These are all proper names that occur in either the New Testament or the Septuagint or in both. Make sure you feel comfortable sounding them out.

Vowels and syllables. Every vowel is pronounced. So, for example, a word like Βοανηργές has four syllables, because it has four vowels: Βο - α- νηρ - γές .

Word stress. The stress mark is there to let you know where the accented syllable is.

Foreign names. Note that for Hebrew names, the Greek transliteration of the name may not match what you are used to from the English transliteration that you are used to. You will also find that Roman names are sometimes altered to fit the Greek system (so the name "Tiberius" comes out "Tiberios" in Greek).
