Perispomenon (original) (raw)
In Ancient Greek grammar, a perispomenon (περισπώμενον) is a word with a high-low pitch contour on the last syllable, indicated in writing by a circumflex accent mark (◌̂). 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 properispomenon
