Υυ

Upsilon

The lower case upsilon looks like the letter u. the capital letter looks like y but it is U. Yuppy, uppy.  You. The word you starts with a Y but it's the word you. Up - sil - on. Time is up but we can still carry on. Up-sil-on.

Φφ

Phi

The lower case looks like a p which is spinning or the logo for a company with part of the letter P and part of the letter h and the capital letter i I. Phil.

Χχ

Chi

The Chinese city XIAN is pronounced she-Ann. The X is like the x in Christmas which is spelled with CH at the start and the letter I in the middle.

Ψψ

Psi

This is a spinning sign for P with the top of the P blown off (sigh!) Turn your head righ and left and try to attract attention by saying ps-s-s.

Ωω

Omega

From the alpha to the omega, from the start to the finish. We have finished. Thank you for your company.
