A special case of orthography: The "ρ" (r) at morpheme boundaries. Suggestions for solving the problem
Abstract
In the present work we deal with a special case of spelling which is controversial point of Modern Greek orthography, since the school grammar has not included in its arrangements all those cases of the newer compound words that must be written with double or single ρ at the limits of their morphemes, e.g. ηχορύπανση ή ηχορρύπανση, ταχύρυθμος ή ταχύρρυθμος. Wanting to examine the practices followed today for this category of compounds, we referred to Modern Greek dictionaries, in order to find out their spelling choices but also the solutions they propose through them. Finally, we try to draw safe conclusions about the solution that could be adopted to solve this spelling problem.
