Etymology

3. (Ancient Greek grammar) A character similar to an apostrophe or the smooth breathing written atop or next to a non–word-initial vowel retained from the second word which formed a contraction resulting from crasis; see the usage note.

Usage notes

• Generally, the Ancient Greek breathings are only written atop initial letters (the consonant rho, initial vowels, and the second vowels of word-initial diphthongs). The coronis is one of only two exceptions to this rule; the other is the case of the double-rho, which is written as ??.
