Cindy,

My expertise more fall toward ancient Greek.  Someone can correct me but
tjust remember that the "ch" is a "k" sound

I googled. The number 6 should be the letter o, and
the word means "Thank you," or "Thanks," in Greek.
&#917;&#965;&#967;&#945;&#961;&#953;&#963;&#964;&#974;
 Literally, "I thank." "Ego efcharisto."
&#917;&#947;&#974;
&#949;&#965;&#967;&#945;&#961;&#953;&#963;&#964;&#974;
 The site goes on to give We thank, etc.

I've often had thenumber 6 replace the acute e, but I
don't think I've had it replace the letter "o" before.

It's interesting what we learn volunteering for
bookshare. I hope I can remember that and not
mispronounce the word if I runinto anyone who speaks
Greek. Pratik, is that one of your languages?
