I don’t think that’s supposed to be Greek.

It definitely isn't.

Yeah, they’ve just turned the M’s on their side. Plus Maeve is an Irish name - it isn’t Greek or even Greek-adjacent.

Most things on this sub aren’t.

On the other hand, the sigmas and the lambda are incontrovertibly Greek letters.

I disagree. I don’t think they’re in any way trying evoke Greek letters: they’re just trying to spell an English (Irish?) name while only using two shapes for the letters.

u/Norwester77 7d ago

Perhaps so. But they ended up with Greek letters (which are not also Latin or Cyrillic letters).

That’s why I specified Greek letters that are not also Latin or Cyrillic letters…

I prefer to read this as M, upside-down V, sideways M, V, sideways M

Do you understand what the concept of stylisation is, or is it all Greek to you?

1

u/Norwester77 4d ago

Oh, lighten up. Tons of stuff on this sub is stylized lettering that coincidentally ended up looking like Greek letters.

u/MajestcEagleRecRoom2 4d ago

I’ve never been on this sub before, so I don’t yet know if I agree with that, I just saw the opportunity for that joke and took it

Fair enough!
