Way off topic, but I just need a quick hand...can you tell me what Greek letters the first and 5th characters are?



I can't tell if the first is upsilon with an accent, or nu? Is there a trick telling these apart, or just look for the rounded bottom?

And is the fifth, "rho" with a really big flarey tail or something else?

And just for my info, what is this word?

upsilon, sigma, tau, epsilon, rho, alpha. meaning "womb." (hystera, transliterated). the accent over the upsilon indicates rough breathing or an "h" sound; there would never be an accent over the nu (n); fairly standard typeface for the rho, though I would never write it that way.

It's all Greek to me...

... well, somebody had to say it!

It means "Yogurt 2% fat, buy one get one free" loosely translated of course.
