--------------------------------------------------------------------- Spell file for multi accented (also known as polytonic) Greek. --------------------------------------------------------------------- This spell file is for checking the spelling of texts typed in multi accented (or polytonic) Greek. It is useful to Greek scholars (hellenists) as well as native Greek speakers who prefer to write in the traditional multi accented script.   The word list covers all the ancient and modern Greek vocabulary. About 1.5 million words all spelled in the traditional polytonic system. The ancient Greek word list is derived from several corpora like Perseus [2], and TLG [3] and other sources. The modern Greek word list is derived from the ispell dictionary el_GR [1] but all the words have been appropriately accentuated. This spell file will flag monotonic spelling as errors (and rightfully so). The two lists are combined, cleaned of double entries (there was a large overlap) and sorted. Last syllable varia (grave accent)  and double oxias (as when shifted from the following word) have been replaced by SFX rules in the affix file. It works quite well with Vim and it is fast, but bear in mind that it is far from finished. (see bugs below). ---------------- Screenshot ---------------- https://postimg.cc/mPS4kXFC ---------------- Installation. ---------------- Copy the file polytonic.utf-8.spl to your home .vim spell directory (~/.vim/spell/).
