Perispomenon
text:
In Ancient Greek grammar, a perispomenon is a word with a high-low pitch contour on the last syllable, indicated in writing by a tilde diacritic (◌̃) or an inverted breve accent mark (◌̑) in native transcriptions with the Greek alphabet, or by a circumflex accent mark (◌̂) in transcriptions with the Latin alphabet. A properispomenon has the same kind of accent, but on the penultimate syllable. Examples:
- θεοῦ, theoû, "of a god", is a perispomenon
- πρᾶξις prâxis "business" is a properispome
