Note on υ: Upsilon was earlier a close back rounded vowel [u] (= oo), and it retained this value in forming the diphthongs αυ, ευ, ηυ. In classical Attic, the sound [u] was conveyed by ου. Note on υι: The full pronunciation of the diphthong was [üy] or [üyy], but in classical Attic the semivocalic iota was weakened to a glide between vowels and sometimes omitted in spelling (as in ὑός for υἱός). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
