Last Exile/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


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
