Maybe it's called iotacism

in english

Right Cafe the South didn't start rebelling during segregation and the cops can already confiscate your guns for basically any reason thanks to red flag laws.

and omega is a long one of these:

It's over

typo

Basically as greek evolved all η ι υι ει ηι οι etc sounded like ι

yes

and ancient greek had tones

Yeah I can't do sounds like that lol, only nords can do that

with thier oeoe stuff

but modern greeks have stresses, correct?

and not only did ancient greek have tones, but the tone would go up and down within the same vowel and diphthong

smh

Let me google what a stress is

stress is what english has

although there are naturally tones, the stress is more important

Wikipedia says we have dynamic stress

the accent in a modern greek word marks a stronger emphasis

in ancient greek it marked a higher pitch

deeEee

Yeah nobody can do the pitches even in erasmian accent

like agora

@Banjod <:pepelaugh:640412982119235596>

the "a" at the end is a long vowel which goes up in pitch

pure rope theory

Yeah that's why it's αγορά with an accent <:ahem:639979147782914084>

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/distringo#Latin

but do you go up in pitch in modern greek?

Up in pitch <:pinothink:401744526915534858>

That's not just accentuating the vowel right?
