Bubbles-

Gamma and Pi are not vowels. When someone says 'it follows a vowel' they don't mean the last letter in the greek letter. (ex: the 'a' in Gamma and the 'i' in Pi) Rather, it means that follows an ACTUAL vowel in the greek language. I'm not sure what all of the Greek vowels are besides alpha. THey are both FI not FEE.
