"I especially like the Greek one. It looks so nicely written! regards, Bill Richardson" That Greek one is a lot more familiar to many of you than you may at first realize. Transliterated from the Greek alphabet, it's theiaphi. That's the modern Greek. The classical Greek is, again transliterated, theion (another form: theaphion is more like the modern form). This Greek word is the source of all those chemical names for sulphur compounds which begin thio- such as thiosulphate, thiamin and so on. Jim McKenney
