Title: | Notes on a special feature of greek orthoepy: use of a non-nasal consonant for representing the velar nasal | Authors: | Head, Brian F. | Keywords: | orthoepy;letter gama;velar nasal;Greek etyma;Roman script;ortoépia;letra gama;nasal velar;étimos gregos;letra romana | Issue Date: | 2015 | Publisher: | Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra | Abstract: | O presente estudo descreve os contextos em que se emprega a letra γ como
representação da consoante nasal velar [ŋ], apresenta uma hipótese da origem
desta consoante e considera um problema que resulta de falhas na representação
de étimos gregos em letra latina, com base em dados de vários dicionários de
português e de alguns outros idiomas. This study describes the contexts in which the letter gama is used in order to represent the velar nasal, it presents a hypothesis as to the origin of this consonant in Greek, and it considers a problem that results from the inadequate representation of Greek etyma in Roman script, as revealed in data from various dictionaries of Portuguese and other languages. |
