Greek in a Nutshell by James Strong

αὐτὸ32 οὐ33 κατέλαβεν.34
it not admitted.

DIRECTIONS.--Spell the Greek, giving the _English_ equivalents of
the consonants, (as in § 1,) and the exact _phonetic_ value or
sound of the vowels. Call the rough breathing _h_. Be careful to
put the spoken _accent_ where it is written. Continue this
practice through all the passages given in the following lessons,
until the words can be pronounced readily and accurately. Familiarize
yourself with the forms of the letters by _writing_ them. Let the
pupil do this while learning the foregoing grammatical lessons, and
after the recitation of each of them let the teacher direct attention,
while the passage at the head of the reading lessons is pronounced, to
the examples illustrating each point, as they occur--by way of
paradigm.
