Reading the sources I used to search for the correct term, I think I may have been fooled by ancient greek allophones. Ex. : ὁ ἄγγελος /ho áŋgelos/ Anyway like I said, too late to change now!


IRC logs from last time it was discussed:

    2018-03-05 23:47:38     assos   in greek it pronounced fegari instead of fengari
    2018-03-06 00:12:41     RhodiumToad     assos: several modern greek dictionaries I checked give the "fengari" prononciation either alone or alongside "fegari" - are they wrong?
    2018-03-06 00:31:44     assos   RhodiumToad: after I checked you are right, the pronunciation depends based on the location in greek, the correct one is fengari. Btw, the word is a derivation of φεγγος which translates to light/brightness.
