Dear colleagues,

We agreed previously that, if the Greek GP had come up with some variants that we had not, we would accept them rather than argue the point.  Reading thru the Greek LRG, it seems to me that there are a couple of issues we should discuss.

First off, the Greek GP generally finds that a dot above, a grave accent, and an acute accent are variants.  As a result, transitivity gives us variants for I, O, and U with dot above and acute (in addition to the cases of C, N, and Z with acute vs dot above) plus variants for acute and grave for various letters.  The issue that I see is that there are a few Latin letters which are not included simply because the Greek alphabet has no variants from Latin for the base letter.  But is teems to me that, as a matter of consistency, we ought to go back thru and make those cases variants as well.

Second, the Greek GP finds the opposite from our finding when it comes to underlining.  That is, most of the cases of letters with diacritics below they are, via transitivity, going to be variants of the letter without underlining.  But perhaps (I haven’t gone thru all the cases yet) not all.  Again, as a matter of consistency I think we need to take another look at that.
