Yeah you expressed it right, I understand. I'm not sure about your theory though, because language changes whether there is outside influence or not, but I agree to the part that there can be indication to ancient pronunciations. As to what Kleio really would have sounded like, I don't know. I was just sightly amused by your intial comment, bc of the little I do know about pronunciation differences in Greek.

The name is listed as Ancient Greek and you give the modern Greek pronunication while stating that there's only one pronunciation, not a modern or something. That was the amusing part for me, which isn't a personal insult, but I do find contradictions or things that seem like contradictions funny. Pop songs for example are filled with it and I always find it entertaining. Probably shoulsn't have said it, for the exact reason you gave; this aren't easy in communicating over the internet.

btw puppy looks like Tumbler or Humphrey to me

I didn't start this

I was repling at Akis who said that we need "modern pronnounciation"...

I didn't blame you for anything just now. No probs as far as I'm concerned.

edit: said I read Akis' post, but obviously didn't.
