   This site should help a bit…

   http://www.ibiblio.org/koine/greek/lessons/alphabet.html

   I had to learn the alphabet when I was in college – and one of the guys in my class made a song out of it. We all learned it really fast. I can’t sign the song for you but it was broken down like this…

   Alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon

   zeta, eta, theta, iota, kappa

   lambda, mu, nu, xi, omicron

   pi, rho, sigma, tau, upsilon

   phi, chi, si, omega.

   I may have some of them spelled wrong – but I can still recite it today – 30 years later!!!

   I have no idea how to make words out of the letters. Sorry.
