Python 3 library for accenting (and analyzing the accentuation of) Ancient Greek words.

For more of my work on Ancient Greek, see http://jktauber.com/.

pip install greek-accentuation==1.2.0

see docs.rst

• on_penult will now return an oxytone rather than None if input only has one syllable

• handle VVι cluster better

• accentuation.persistent now supports default_short parameter

• fixed calculation of coda when syllable is vowel+macron+smooth

• syllabify.is_diphthong now works with uppercase letters (fixes a syllabification bug when capitalized word begins with diphthong)
• syllabify.add_necessary_breathing now returns a NFKC normalized form (improving rebreath/debreath roundtripping)

• possible_accentuations now correctly gives paroxytone as a possible accentuation when penult is long and length of ultima is indeterminate

• fixed persistent accent placement where original accent needs to change from circumflex to acute

• syllabify.add_necessary_breathing now works with uppercase initial vowels

• syllabify.debreath
• syllabify.rebreath
• syllabify.add_necessary_breathing can optionally add rough breathing
• characters.add_breathing properly handles macrons
• modules moved into greek_accentuation package
• universal wheel build

0.9.9 removed some unnecessary code

0.9.8 add_necessary_breathing now properly handles initial vowels with iota subscripts

0.9.7 fixed another bug in macro + breathing + accent case

0.9.6 fixed a bug in macro + breathing + accent case

0.9.5 breathing is now considered part of the onset and syllabification now works on words containing macron + breathing + accent on the same vowel

0.9.4 fixed syllabification of words containing macron and acute on same vowel

0.9.3 improved onset, nucleus, coda, and syllabify in cases where input has no vowels.

0.9.2 fixed some edge-case bugs in syllable_morae and contonation and got doctest coverage to 100%.

0.9.1 slightly improved persistent accent calculation by falling back to recessive if out of syllables (rather than raising an exception).
