OK, you're right. It's not so simple as I hoped ...
Well, I would only see a crazy solution: Define the Greek control word in two steps: - first the part until the epsilon - Then use again a construct with \...@ifnextchar ε But I agree: that's not really feasible... And as Ulrike said -- all the side-effects will probably really get out of control. (At least, one would probably have to use a character-sequence which can never exist in any greek word -- and I have no idea whether that exist).
