Dear List,

If I may be allowed to ask a very basic question...

Is the RHO pronounced with an "h" sound whenever it begins a word?  I 
know that it always has the rough breathing, but is this rough 
breathing pronounced?  At least in the Erasmian pronunciation system?

Also, is the name of the letter itself pronounced with or without an 
"h" sound?

Thanks,
