Words beginning with a vowel are pronounced with or without
aspiration (initial "h"). Aspiration is indicated by the sign
( ῾ ), ὅτι (hoti). Unaspirated syllables are marked ( ᾿ ),
οὐκ (ook).
American him is ῾im; horse is ῾orse.
English im is ᾿im; orse is ᾿orse.
Note 1.—Breathing stands over the vowel: in a diphthong, over
the second vowel (accent also stands over the second vowel,
and precedes the breathing). Bt. 8; Gl. 6; Gn. 11.
Note may be made of the marks of punctuation: comma (,),
colon (·), interrogation (;), period (.).
