(looks like it would sound like someone sneezing?)

that language spoken by the swift, the hairy-headed, the glancing-eyed, the strong-greaved, the bronzed-armored—the achaeans:
χαρούμενα γενέθλια, νάνος!* **
* obviously hellenikay has a direct translation for 'pygmy', πυγμαίος. however, νάνος means 'dwarf'. i couldn't resist.
** should νάνος be in vocative form? does attic greek not have a vocative? is this a conversation we've had already?
