I have a small reference book called THE BOOK OF USEFUL FACTS. It has a section on languages which lists several different alphabets, each on a different line: Hebrew, Cyrillic, Arabic and Greek. But at the end of the Greek alphabet, after Omega, it also prints the ! exclmation mark ; the semi colon ^ the caret and the - short dash, all on the same line, as if they are part of the Greek alphabet.
Are they? If not, what's going on here? |
Clarification/Follow-up by CeeBee2 on 04/07/05 9:31 am:
Paul, I spoke with one of my coworkers, a Greek woman who knows the written and spoken language. She confirmed that those marks are used in Greek, as noted in my answer to you.
Please check the useful facts book to see how the language section is set up. At the beginning or end of that chapter, there may be reference to and explanation of the punctuation marks shown.
If nothing else, I will get that book through interlibrary loan and check it myself. (I just checked WorldCat and could not find the book by the title you gave. I found The century books of facts and others with similar kinds of information. Please tell me an author or editor's name, the publisher, and a copyright date.)
