# *******************************************************
# 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...
