This is not too complex, he only uses omega both for w and o, psi for y and chi for c, which is not too fortunate. Yet there is an other reason too keep them coded...

Βυγγερ οφφ

Bugger off.

Γετ τηισ φαρτινγ χλοχxωορx ηαρπψ οφφ μψ φυχxινγ δεχx <- translates to profanity

Get this farting clockwork harpy off my fucking deck.

Γυεσσ τηε ωορδ Ι ωανθ ωιτη ψωυ

Guess the word I want with you.

I tried to use the spoiler tags, but they don't work great. Feel free to roll it back or improve my edit. – Mark Rogers Mar 09 '11 at 15:01
