Use

Use this template for Greek words for which the Ancient Greek description is not satisfactory or limiting. Such words can be:

• Words of Koine Greek such as κράββατος (krabbatos, "bed").
• Words of Late Antiquity and Atticist words of Byzantine literature, such as ἀθεμιτογαμία (athemitogamiā, "unlawful marriage").
• 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.
• Newly coined scientific (or not) words from Ancient Greek roots, such as haemophilia and astronaut.
