There are three kinds of accents in Greek: acute ( ´ ), grave ( ` ), and circumflex ( ῀ ). If a word has two ρρ letters in it, the first one has a smoothand the second a roughbreathing mark, respectively. Initial ρ and υ always have the rough breathing mark. The smooth breathing mark ( ᾿ ) indicates that this initial “h” sound is absent. The rough breathing mark ( ῾ ) indicates that the first sound will have an initial “h” sound. It is placed above the vowels and “rho”, and above the second letter in the diphthongs. If a word in Greek starts with a vowel, diphthong or a letter ρ it must have a breathing mark written above it. Words in Greek can end on any vowel and on only three consonants: ν, ρ, ς. Exceptions are words of foreign origin such as Jewish personal names and geographical locations in the Greek Scripture.
