The line immediately below the Greek text in the Study Bible contains a transliteration, a conversion of the Greek letters into Dutch, as follows:

![]()
Transliteration excludes: punctuation, Greek accents and the spiritus lenis
, the sign indicating absence of an h sound at the beginning of a word. The spiritus asper
, the sign indicating presence of an h sound, is represented by the h.
Sometimes in Greek writing, the h sound at the beginning of a word or part of a word is already visible in the last letter of the preceding word or part of the word. In such a case, the h is noted only once and with the word or part of the word to which it naturally belongs, for example:
![]()
As the last example shows, in compound verbs, the prefix is distinguished from the rest of the verb using a hyphen.
