When ρ, when ϱ? --Abdull 14:31, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Breathings over internal rho

"a double rho within a word is written with a smooth breathing over the first rho and a rough breathing over the second — ῤῥ"

In my own reading of ancient Greek texts I've never seen breathings over rhos within a word, e.g. ἔρραψα (Hdt. 9.17), nor have ever heard of such a convention. I don't want to remove it, if it actually holds for medieval manuscripts or something, but I'm dubious. Dd42 (talk) 23:14, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Latex \Rho

In Latex, there is no \Rho. Also, I fixed the symbols to correspond with the actual Latex output —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.6.168.245 (talk) 19:47, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Plastic Number

Shouldn't the article have something about the letter's relation to the plastic number? Skittlesrgood4u^{Talk Page/Contributions/Sandbox} 22:55, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
