ὗ

From ὖ (û) with a rough breathing. The aspirated form ὗ is attested in ancient Greek grammarians' works, such as Steph.Gramm. and Myrin., as well as in inscriptions (e.g., AP9.385.20, AP11.67.1). The aspirated pronunciation is supported by comparisons with Latin (e.g., the letter Y in the name Hypsaeus) and Coptic, where it appears as "he." This form is likely an early distinction, as noted in LSJ and Triantafyllidis' lexica.

(Koine) The letter υ (upsilon) of the Ancient Greek alphabet, used with a rough breathing in specific phonetic contexts.


ὗ ψιλόν

From ὗ (hû) with ψιλόν (psilón) meaning “plain” or “bare,” used to distinguish this aspirated form of ὗ from the smooth-breathing form of ὖ ψιλόν. Attested in inscriptions and grammarians' works, such as Steph.Gramm. and Myrin., with support from Latin and Coptic sources (e.g., Hypsaeus, "he").

(Koine) The aspirated name for the letter υ (upsilon) in the Ancient Greek alphabet, used in rare phonetic contexts to distinguish it from the smooth-breathing form.
