- Names, such as Αγησίλαος (Agēsilaos, "Agesilaus") and Σωκράτης (Sōkratēs, "Socrates").
- Hellenized Latin and Hebrew names, such as Ἰουστινιανός (Justinian), Αὐρήλιος (Aurelius) and Ίωσήφ (Joseph).
- Words that have remained unchanged throughout the history of the Greek language such as θάλασσα (thalassa, "sea") and ἄνθρωπος (anthrōpos, "man"). Their meaning may be the same.
