pronouncing the Greek
I think if you give the Greek, you need to add its pronunciation (or at least a transliteration with a diacritical over the final -e representing the eta), within the parentheses, because most people can't read Greek letters. Cynwolfe (talk) 00:23, 20 October 2009 (UTC)


 * The transliterations (Hekátê, Hekátē) were there before, but Akhilleus removed them. The Greek name is a wikilink to Ἑκάτη, which gives:"Pronunciation(Classical): IPA: [hekátɛː](Koine): IPA: [hɛkˈateː](Byzantine): IPA: [ekˈati]"Will that suffice, or do you want it copied here? — Sizzle Flambé (☎/✍) 00:36, 20 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Hekátê and Hekátē are equivalent transliterations, so only one should be added; probably the one with the macron, since that will be more familiar to most readers. I'd leave out the pronunciations, since the link to Wiktionary is there. --Akhilleus (talk) 00:41, 20 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Restored Hekátē: "Hecate or Hekate (ancient Greek Ἑκάτη [Hekátē], "far-shooting")...". — Sizzle Flambé (☎/✍) 00:48, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
