you have shot your mouth off without knowing the tradition.
Yes, Tau rhymes with cow in Ancient Greek
But then Beta is beeta in Ancient Greek
Psi is psi in Ancient Greek
Epsilon is Eepsilon in Ancient Greek
Zeta is zeeta in Ancient Greek
Xi is zee in Ancient Greek
Phi is fee in Ancient Greek....
is it Allpha fee or allpha zee?
Theta is theetah in Ancient Greek and so on...
