Well, if you can use Rho as both Rho and P, I suppose spelling 'lilacs' with a K is allowed under the rules. But wouldn't this game be more rewarding for beginners is you played it in Greek and allowed them to 'cheat' with a pocket modern Greek dictionary, allowing a maximum 5 minutes for each turn to avoid excessive searching? In that way they would actually learn something more than a very inaccurate grasp of the alphabet. By the way, I took 'kip' to be British slang for a nap, in the sense of a short sleep. RH
