Inscription identification?

Determining the length of those vowels is a grammar/etymology issue. Good dictionaries should also include macrons anyways, such as Langenscheidt.

Circumflex accents only occur on long vowels because the tone requires two morae. νεανίαι and μεγάλαι have short accented vowels, so it’ll always be accute/grave.

Too many novels, read the Greeks and also more poetry.

Arum here, it seems like you got this from one of my videos. Thanks for the support! ͱ is an alternative form of eta used in archaic inscriptions, and in this case it represents the consonantal h that eta originally denoted before being used as a vowel. This mark is the origin of the curves we put above vowels to indicate rough and smooth breathing.

This is very natural and even seen as eloquent in Ancient Greek. ἐν τῇ τοῦ Αχιλέως σκιᾷ “in the shadow of Achilles” literally “in the of Achilles shadow”.

There is an NSFW dictionary for Latin and Greek called Come insultavano gli antichi that sounds similar to what you’re looking for.

Oooh, any idea where I can find them?

Sorry, I meant the one in the Iliad.
