The Tyndale House edition of the SBL GNT (module name SBLG-THE renamed to
SBLG_THE)
was normalized to NFC during build, no doubt because the TH programmers
would not be fully aware of the -N option in osis2mod.

This makes a difference, in that the GreekAccents filter doesn't do anything
that I wasn't expecting when applied to this module.

Filtering out UTF8GreekAccents is equivalent to 
1. Convert module text to NFD
2. Remove the Greek diacritics as follows:

U+0300  ̀       36,121  COMBINING GRAVE ACCENT
U+0301  ́       52,598  COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT
U+0308  ̈       237             COMBINING DIAERESIS
U+0313  ̓       45,036  COMBINING COMMA ABOVE
U+0314  ̔       19,046  COMBINING REVERSED COMMA ABOVE
U+0342  ͂       32,415  COMBINING GREEK PERISPOMENI
U+0345  ͅ       7,499           COMBINING GREEK YPOGEGRAMMENI
U+1FBD  ᾽       1,221           GREEK KORONIS
U+1FBF  ᾿       3               GREEK PSILI

Unlike the module SBLGNT, the filter did not replace one accent by another,
as there were simply no 
U+02BC ʼ MODIFIER LETTER APOSTROPHE 
in the accented file at all.

NB. In my previous email message, I believe I had two lines swapped in my
description of how the SBLGNT module fared. It can be a bit confusing at
times. Apologies!

Best regards,

David
