∙ 14y agoThe Greek letter designation is a Greek letter followed but the possessive form of the constellation name (for example, alpha-Orionus). In most cases (Ursa Major being a notable exception), the brightest star in a constellation designated with the Greek letter alpha, the second-brightest with the Greek letter beta, and so on. Thus the Greek letter designation gives information about both relative brightness and location. There is no connection between the Greek letter designation and ancient Arabic names.

A Bayer designation is a stellar designation in which a specific star is identified by a Greek letter, followed by the genitive form of its parent constellation's Latin name.
There is no such designation as "Hebrew science". Ancient Israelites didn't pursue science in the way that the Ancient Greeks did.
Muslims that translated ancient Greek text into Arabic helped to preserve the ancient texts of many scholars. For example, the works of Aristotle and Euclid were available to later Europeans via Latin translations of the Arabic translations of the original Greek. The western Renaissance as we know it would not have happened if the Arabic intermediary text didn't exist.
The Greek letter designation of a star gives its relative brightness compared to other stars in the same constellation. For example, Alpha Canis Majoris (Sirius) is the brightest star in the constellation Canis Major.
There aren't any. The sound didn't exist in ancient Greek, and there was no letter in the alphabet to represent it. In ancient Latin, the letter 'v' represented the sound of English 'w'. Certain archaic dialects of Greek had the 'w' sound, and wrote it with a letter known as "digamma". But both the sound and the letter disappeared before the classical period of the language.

Greek and Arabic are similar in that they are both ancient languages with rich histories and cultural importance. Both languages have their own unique writing systems and are known for their influence on literature, philosophy, and science. Additionally, Greek and Arabic have had a lasting impact on modern languages and continue to be studied and preserved today.
Alphabet is Ancient Greek. It comes from the Greek word "Alphabetos". Alpha is the Greek letter for A. Beta is the Greek letter for B.
'Khilioi (χίλιοι)' is Ancient Greek for 'thousand'
ΣΕΝΝΙΦΕΡ Please note, however, that there is no "J" in the ancient greek alphabet, so it was replaced with the letter it would have been in ancient greek; "Sigma" or "S".
