Contradiction between Ͷ and Ϝ

[edit]

There is contradiction in "Pronunciation and writing" concerning V/W sounds, between description and example.--Manfariel (talk) 14:04, 16 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this needs to be corrected. The descriptions list it as Ͷ representing /w/ and Ϝ representing /v/, however all the examples transliterate Ͷ as <v> and Ϝ as <w>. It seems like Ͷ should actually be /v/ and Ϝ should actually be /w/, because it also mentions that Ͷ sometimes stood in place of beta and we know beta later turns to /v/; also that Ϝ goes away instead of turning to /v/ in almost if not every other Greek dialect. If sourcing to support or refute this could be presented I would be very thankful. AA Quantum (talk) 19:46, 26 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
