The Greek spelling alphabet is a spelling alphabet (or "phonetic alphabet") for Greek, i.e. a set of names given to the alphabet letters for the purpose of spelling out words. It is used mostly on radio voice channels by the Greek army, the navy and the police. MotivationThe names for Greek letters are easily confused in noisy conditions; potential collisions include: - víta, zíta, íta, thíta
- épsilon, ípsilon
- mi, ni
- pi, xi, phi, chi, psi
