Is the circumflex on the Attic nominative and vocative singular forms incorrect?[edit]

Although the acute accent on the penult is supplied to the template curly brackets thing in the source, it appears that the declension table generator is not written to take such accents into account, as it has placed a circumflex over the alpha in the penult. The Attic nominative singular form, I believe, should match the page name. I don't know how to fix the problem, but I do want to say that I think that there is one.

Yes, that was an error. The module grc-decl, which generates the inflection table, seems to automatically interpret an alpha as long if it does not have a breve. Now fixed, though the breve–smooth breathing–acute does not display well in all fonts... — Eru·tuon 01:24, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
