If you would like to hear them pronunced, please click here to have your desire fulfilled at 2:12:30 into this video from my 1st year Greek class.
Professors of Greek might want to consider having their students learn the Greek names and refer to the books of the New Testament by their original language names instead of their English ones in class, as well as, in general, adding spoken Greek to their communication as much as possible. After all, the more senses one employs in learning a language the better he tends to learn it.
Besides, knowing the books in Greek is just ψῦχος, ἄνθρωπε; –TDR
Ῥωμαίους threw me off. I thought it would have been pronounced "Romaious", but when I listened to the video snippet, you had more of a P sound…Pomaious. Did I hear wrong? What's going on here?
Rough breathing mark…got it. I listened to it again, and noticed that. Gotcha.
Dear Bro Billy,
You are correct about roughing it.
