Hey, wait a sec. Nobody on the list is even from Greece. How did this start? :) chris - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

Yes Mark but the word Ellas is the Greek people's own name for Greece in the Greek language(admittedly with different character set) and Hellenic is English for things Greek - so the H is an add on in English as Colin states to cover the "breathing sound". Hellas (Grk., "Land of the Hellenes"), name that came to be applied to ancient Greece, including the Greek islands and colonies. The name became common after the great migrations of Hellenic peoples, beginning about 1100 BC. Modern Greece, in accordance with classical tradition, is also known as Hellas or Ellas.

Re: Geography Poll General Results!
Hi, Great work. Thanks Chris. Oh, BTW, Pine can handle the accents if you specify the Character set, I think; in the setup change the value of "character-set" to iso-8859-1 (for most western languages).

Re: Geography Poll General Results!
Hi, thanks Chris - a fascinating list. International as we are I think most of us can figure out Eesti, Magyarorszag, Nihon and so on, but thanks for the bracketed translations. But what on Earth are OH, PA, SC, WI and so forth? :o) -- Cheers, Bob (not to be taken seriously!) mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Chris Brogden wrote: > Ok, here they are.
