Change Log

Changed in 1.2.0

• on_penult will now return an oxytone rather than None if input only has one syllable

Fixed in 1.1.1

• handle VVι cluster better

Added in 1.1.0

• accentuation.persistent now supports default_short parameter

Fixed in 1.0.5

• fixed calculation of coda when syllable is vowel+macron+smooth

Fixed in 1.0.4

• syllabify.is_diphthong now works with uppercase letters (fixes a syllabification bug when capitalized word begins with diphthong)
• syllabify.add_necessary_breathing now returns a NFKC normalized form (improving rebreath/debreath roundtripping)

Fixed in 1.0.3

• possible_accentuations now correctly gives paroxytone as a possible accentuation when penult is long and length of ultima is indeterminate

Fixed in 1.0.2

• fixed persistent accent placement where original accent needs to change from circumflex to acute

Fixed in 1.0.1

• syllabify.add_necessary_breathing now works with uppercase initial vowels

New in 1.0.0

• syllabify.debreath
• syllabify.rebreath
• syllabify.add_necessary_breathing can optionally add rough breathing
• characters.add_breathing properly handles macrons
• modules moved into greek_accentuation package
• universal wheel build

0.9.9 removed some unnecessary code

0.9.8 add_necessary_breathing now properly handles initial vowels with iota subscripts

0.9.7 fixed another bug in macro + breathing + accent case

0.9.6 fixed a bug in macro + breathing + accent case

0.9.5 breathing is now considered part of the onset and syllabification now works on words containing macron + breathing + accent on the same vowel

0.9.4 fixed syllabification of words containing macron and acute on same vowel

0.9.3 improved onset, nucleus, coda, and syllabify in cases where input has no vowels.

0.9.2 fixed some edge-case bugs in syllable_morae and contonation and got doctest coverage to 100%.

0.9.1 slightly improved persistent accent calculation by falling back to recessive if out of syllables (rather than raising an exception).

New in 0.9

• initial documentation
• accentuation.display_accent_type
• accentuation.get_accent_type
• accentuation.on_penult
• syllabify.contonation
• syllabify.add_necessary_breathing
• characters.strip_breathing
• characters.strip_accents
• characters.remove_redundant_macron
• allow ~ to be used for unspecified vowel
• allow | to be used as a wall the accent can't cross
• allow treatment of final AI/OI length to be settable
• added option to treat unmarked vowels as short by default
