+In greek there is only one pronunciation and not 3 either 2, but only one.
+If someone told you another pronunciation for the word mageia in greek, he
+is not greek or it is not his native language. It is not even a case that
+we can say for example that in the north of greece they say it in one way
+and in the south of greece in another way. It is a word that its letters
+cant be saying in another way but only in 1 way. If you change one thing of
+its pronunciation is like if you say the word computer in english :
+compoter or cimputer or campetor... etc, no sense at all
