| Greek was very like Latin with the added burden of a new alphabet to learn, with breathings and subscripts. |
| Pay careful attention to the Greek letters as you read, and make sure you can identify the smooth breathings. |
| Suddenly there arose on the air a sound of sweet, soft music, like the gentle breathings of an Aeolian harp. |
| There is a stream of diacritics that look like the Greek breathings but should not be conflated with them. |
| The world was bright with sunshine outside, but a deep and mellow twilight reigned in there, and also a deep silence so profound that I seemed to hear my own breathings. |
| The sound does not occur in Modern Greek so the choice of breathings makes no difference now. |
