HAHA. This is incomprehensible. Do you still have all these intonation symbols? They used to exist in Anc Gr but not used now

no, they were stopped in Gr/Cy at of rule of the Generals in the 1970s though, so VERY recently. When Demotic won over Koine.

I see now. It is like καθαρεύουσα that used to be used in Gr but was repealed also around that time. Thought was still used in Cyp
