# Lemma is ἰχθύς and head is ἰχθῡ́ς, yet in the declension table it's "ἰχθῡ́ς / ἰχθῦς". This requires an explanation or usage note. |

# Giving pronunciation with /i/ and with <ῐ> in the template but adding the comment "length of the iota are unknown" is misleading/contradicting. /i/ and <ῐ> implies it's short. If it is unknown it should be rather be /i(:)/ and <ι> (or ι with macron and breve) and with a visible note. If the template can't produced /i(:)/ (unmarked <ι> doesn't work), there could be both /i/ and /i:/ together with the note. |
