In Response To: "Backgammon" in other languages (smcrtorchs)

I see that it is spelled portes. However many (real live Greeks) pronounce it portos. I play the game on occassion.

It is subjective. However, for purposes of the question posed, portos (portes) would be valid, whereas plakoto would not.
