AtticGreek

A rigorously defined orthography for texts in the archaic Attic alphabet.

Highlights:

  • implement the MID Orthography interface, with semantic tokenization of text in Attic Greek
  • uses Unicode in form :NFKC whererever codepoints are defined
  • mimics print publication practice insupplementing missing characters with the ASCII code point sumarized below.

Note

In the Attic alphabet, all iotas are adscript. There is no character for smooth breathing: the aspirate (rough breathing) is explicitly marked, so that word-initial vowels are unaspirated by default.
