# Evripidis Papakostas phonetic rules for Greek
# strict version
# the following is a somehow strict phonetic ruleset
# but Greek is completely phonetic as there are
# rules for pronnouncing with unique way anything
# that is written
# and it does not narrow suggestions too much
# *******************************************************
# all the following double letters are pronounced as one

# *******************************************************
# Evripidis Papakostas phonetic rules for Greek
# loose version
# the following is a somehow loose phonetic ruleset
# all vowels have been extinguished
# it brings too many suggestions (personal opinion)
# without really finding any good words that
# the strict ruleset couldn't find
# comment all of the above and uncomment the following
# if you don't believe me...

# finally if you feel like being much stricter you can go to the

# This will disable phonetic rulss completely
