Question
I was wondering if you could tell me the ancient greek translation for "uncontrollable" and for "warrior" i was also wondering if there is anyway you could write it the way it is written in greek. if not could you tell me where i can find it

Answer
Hello,

First of all I have to tell you that unfortunately the system does not allow  the use of  Greek alphabet  and diacritic marks.
Anyway I’ll try to use ancient Greek letters to write the translation of “warrior” and “uncontrollable”.

Here they are:

-Warrior = στρατιώτης  (Latin transliteration, “stratiόtes”) or  πολεμιστής (polemistés)

-Uncontrollable = απειθής (apeithés) as ‘disobedient’, ‘umbelieving’; or  υβριστικός (ubristikos) as ‘violent’, ‘wicked’.

If however you are not able to read Greek letters of these words, you can see them at the Woodhouse's  English-Greek online Dictionary.

For WARRIOR see:

For UNCONTROLLABLE / UNRULY see:

Hope this helps.
Best,
Maria
