If we use "h" then we lose our character for "eta." We also lose 
"i" for iota subscript.

Bruce Terry circulated six schemes some time back. One was the 
"Standard digraph" that seems to me to be the simplest. The 
transliteration of eta in that scheme is "E", the only upper case 
letter used in that scheme. There doesn't seem to be an iota 
subscript available in that system.

I tend to skim over the transliterated Greek and try to make sense 
of the discussion by reading the comments. I find all upper case 
very difficult to read. I'm glad to know there are others who find 
it difficult.
