I am not sure of what you really mean. What is the connection with ιχθύς?
The standard English transliteration is Ichthus. Ikhthus would do. However, this entry seems to be a dictionary entry to me, and wikipedia is not a dictionary. MichaelTinkler
First: I do not have any objection to transliterating ιχθύς to Ichthus or Ikhthus -even though I have my doubts about the current transliteration system (because of lack of information). It was not my spelling. I just linked the word from the Greek language/Lexicon. If you feel that I should redirect it to another page with the different spelling I can do it.
Second: I agree as well that wikipedia is not a dictionary. If I had added a link saying simply that ιχθύς is the greek word for fish that would have been a dictionary entry. The current page, though, gives some specific information about the connection of the symbol and Christianity. Maybe it would have been better if I had a picture of some sort of the symbol used in catacombes or something but I don't. So I had to get by only with simply the name of the symbol.
Of course all of the above are simply my opinion and I would be very happy to discuss any objection. Eanorel
