greek-accentuation 1.0.4 Released

Three weeks ago I fixed a few bugs in greek-accentuation and ended up doing three releases (although I only blogged about two at the time). I’ve now done a fourth bug fix release: 1.0.4.

1.0.3 was the bug fix mentioned in Diagramming Greek Accent Placement where paroxytone wasn’t being given as a possible accentuation when the penult was long and length of ultima was unknown (e.g. an unmarked alpha).

To this, 1.0.4 adds two new fixes:

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)

You can pip install greek-accentuation==1.0.4. The repo is at https://github.com/jtauber/greek-accentuation.

at the intersection of computing, linguistics, philology, and learning science

By day I’m an entrepreneur, web technologist and open-source developer but my academic background is in linguistics (along with some classics, comparative philology, and educational statistics) and my main avocation is working on text, annotations, analysis and software relating to historical languages with a particular interest in facilitating better learning.

While my focus has mostly been on Biblical Greek, much of the work is highly relevant to other Hellenistic Greek texts, other dialects of Ancient Greek and, indeed, texts in completely different languages as well.
