Something to do with the stress, I think, given the spelling of the Greek. --Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 18:55, 14 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
An acute accent means high pitch. It is also occasionally used for a stress accent. We are, perhaps confusingly, using it for both. -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 21:34, 14 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
