<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>I have started to study classical greek and have
noticed some differences in the vocabulary words being slightly different (i.e.
the word for sea has two <STRONG>tt </STRONG>instead of the two
<STRONG>ss</STRONG>).&nbsp; Did the spelling of all the words that have the
double consants <STRONG>tt </STRONG>change to <STRONG>ss</STRONG>? If yes, why
did this change?&nbsp;&nbsp; </FONT></DIV>
