Let's see, Daniel.

You want a decent Grammar for Dorks. A dork would not want an indecent grammar! hum.

LOL

 

You might take a look at Carl Darling Buck (whose IndoEuropean root book I would love to have).

Many years ago I sat in a class on Greek Dialects. I think the text was by C D Buck. It may be the one to which I link below.

I don't know how useful this will be.

Hey Enoch,

 

I got hold of Buck via an inter-library loan. As you pointed out, the vast bulk of the text was concerned with phonological differences, word formation and spelling differences coming a distant second, and very very little (a few pages) on syntax. On the upside it did help on another query regarding spelling differences between Attic and Koine.

 

Thx

So far as I know, most if not all spelling differences are pronunciation differences (allowing for itacism like variants), except if you might find κσ vs ξ , or πσ vs ψ. I think that our rather recent concept of "correct spelling" is really very modern. I am not sure how ancient the practice is of writing omicron + upsilon as one character resembling a raised cursive looped gamma. That might be called a ligature instead of a spelling.
