Or from the aforementioned Wikipedia article: The iota subscript (Ancient Greek: ὑπογεγραμμένη hypogegramménē "written under")—ᾳ—is placed under the long vowels ᾱ, η, and ω to mark the ancient long diphthongs ᾱι, ηι, and ωι, in which the ι is no longer pronounced. In the 2TGreek module, the NT part contains 737, 2641, 4084 of these respectively. -- View this message in context: http://sword-dev.350566.n4.nabble.com/GlobalOptionFilter-UTF8GreekAccents-and-non-Greek-modules-tp4656719p4656797.html Sent from the SWORD Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
