αμοιβαία κατανόηση (amoivaía katanóisi) might be a translation of "mutual intelligibility", but I'm not sure. --Per utramque cavernam (talk) 22:42, 19 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

Yes, φΧ: αμοιβαία κατανοητός, αμοιβαία κατανοήση are the usual trans. for linguistics. Αμοιβαία κατανόηση αlso means 'mutual understanding' as in relations of people, friends, a couple. Also, there is αμοιβαία αντιληπτός, αμοιβαία αντιληπτότητα. Found here. sarri.greek (talk) 23:21, 19 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Sarri.greek: Thanks! Yes, all the uses I saw on GB were about relationships, so I wasn't sure it was the usual expression in linguistics as well. --Per utramque cavernam (talk) 23:28, 19 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
By the way, φίλτατε X, could you please fix contracted and uncontracted as a reader (also of greek) could understand? I linked from κρεμώ and I pity the user who will need συνηρημένος & ασυναίρετος. v+v=vowel-or-diphth. Ι understand that contraction is not exactly synaeresis. But how on earth would I call it? All these boomerang defs: Contracted is sth. done with contraction.... sarri.greek (talk) 23:40, 19 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Sarri.greek: Sorry for the delayed answer. I'm not sure I'm the best person for the job! @Erutuon, do you think you could have a go at this? --Per utramque cavernam (talk) 00:20, 22 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
