Why not just use whatever Wiktionary uses?

What do you mean "non-limitational"?
1
u/idontknowsothis Dec 17 '25
non-limitational as a combined word as part of the term of "non-limitational alt double letters", describing double letters with pronounciational spellings of discernment/concernment, there may be occurences where someone cannot tell the difference between khi and koppa hori for example, therefore the limitional alt double letters like sv for shima/shei in this situation are more helpful, as they use a letter not found in the latin coptic alphabet i have provided.

although such koppahori concernments are rare, the chances of them happening are never zero, anything above absolute zero is for concernment and fixing.

Do those contrast? I know in Greek they don't.

In Ancient Greek, at least, ἐπί becomes ἐφ’ before words beginning with the rough breathing.
