Λύχνις Δαν Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 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. https://archive.org/details/cu31924031214822 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 D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx D 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.
