<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 8318332, member: 19463&quot;]Good overview.&nbsp; I recall being taught that ancient Greek had one primary rule that outranked all others.&nbsp; If it does not sound good, it gets changed.&nbsp; &#039;Euphony&#039; came up when various word forms placed letter together that just did not sound right to Greek ears.&nbsp; We have that today to some extent with some languages that either prefer harsh, guttural letter or deny their existence to the point that they are not in the alphabet.&nbsp; I never studied Greek dialects and only touched on anything otherer tha 5th century Athens&#039; way of doing things.&nbsp; What the head of the Greek department had to say about New Testament Greek was not repeated in church.&nbsp; The only thing he found worse was modern Greek that simplified pronunciation too much for his ears.&nbsp; I was more interested in the content of the written word than in the sound of the poetry so any details I may have once known have left me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
