Julie in GA Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 The Greek verb "I know" begins with gamma-iota, but on the Elem. Greek CD is pronouned "ignosko" instead of "ginosko." Is this correct? It does mention that an English derivative of this word is "agnostic," which has a closer pronunciation to what I heard on the CD. Did I miss a rule somewhere that gamma-iota is pronounced "ig" instead of "gi"? Thanks for your help, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mama Lynx Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I heard it as "gignosko." While we're here .... Ian also seems to pronounce the word for "I write" as "graphAY," although it ends with an omega. 'sup with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What track is that? It's been a while since I did EG1. I'm pretty sure my version has grapho for I write and hay graphAY for the writing or Scripture.

Plaid Dad Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I just pulled out my book and CD. I'm assuming we're talking about Lesson 4 in Year One and track 16 on the audio? If so, I'm hearing gignosko with a hard g at the beginning (although it's faint and I'm using headphones). But he does say "graphe" and not "grapho" - that's an error. Graphe is a noun, and grapho is the verb introduced in this chapter. HTH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie in GA Posted April 16, 2008 Author Share Posted April 16, 2008 That explains that one. I thought Ian was making a blunder there. To be consistent, he still should have said "grapho" though, IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie in GA Posted April 16, 2008 Author Share Posted April 16, 2008 Yes -- I figured "graphe" was an error. "Gignosko" makes sense. That initial hard "g" must be pretty faint. I'll go listen again. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karenciavo Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Yup, he says graphay. Never noticed :001_huh: or if I did I forgot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
