Last Exile/Trivia

The writing in the series is a combination of real Greek and English transliterated into Greek. While the transliterations are mostly phonetic, there are a few quirks:


 * Eta is sometimes used correctly but sometimes used to represent H
 * Omega is sometimes used correctly but sometimes used to represent W
 * Beta is used to represent both B and V
 * Rho and Lambda are sometimes interchanged
