Hello, Can anyone explain what the Greek punctuation mark of a dot ' following a letter means? I am not sure how to type this symbol, but it is a dot following a word, but at the top of the letter, not a period! Thanks very much! Victoria |

If I understand you correctly I think that it is just a colloquial way of speaking with the dot signifying a letter that is missed out for ease and speed of speech as in " από ΄δώ ". Hope this helps but I,m sure that Greg will let us know the correct meaning but that,s my best shot right now. Good learning Pico |

The raised dot (·) following a word is the Greek semicolon. Using Windows' Character Map applet (charmap.exe), you can find this symbol in the Western character set at character U-00CB (keyboard code Alt-0203), or in the Greek character set (Windows-1253) at character U-00B7 (keyboard code Alt-0183).
