 * Ikariam has rendered the letter "My" instead of "Mu", because it is the common transliteration in German and many other languages, and more accurately reflects the pronunciation of the letter's name in classical times. The use of the y (upsilon) does not indicate that the letter's name is pronounced like the English word "my" [mai], but rather contains the sound of the French vowel u (as in "tu") or the sound of the German u with an umlaut (ü).
