Sorry to ruin the joke, but y is actually in Latin script.

Yeah, that's why I tried to pick the closest Greek has to a y sound, which I think (I only know a bit of GCSE ancient greek from 30 years ago) is upsilon. If I'd read it as the letter that looks most like a y it would have been "actmallg" (gamma).
