One rule: small sigma is inside a word and at the end.
These spellings are rough: Greek sounds have changed over 2,500 years.
Which letter is fifth? Which is twenty-fourth? Write the names.
Using the Order

DIRECTIONS: Answer from the chart on page 1.
Write the name of the letter that comes straight after , and the one straight before .
Four letters in the chart have names that describe them rather than just naming them: epsilon, omicron, upsilon and omega. Two of those four are a pair. Which two, and what does the pair mean?
Count how many of the twenty-four capitals you could mistake for a letter of your own alphabet. Write the number, then write two of them that would trick you.
Somebody writes a Greek word ending in sigma and uses the inside form. Would a Greek reader still know the word? Say what the rule is really for.
