different between tonos vs tones

English

Etymology

From the Modern Greek ????? (tónos, “stress, accent”). Doublet of tone.

Pronunciation

• (UK) IPA^(key): /?t?n?s/

Noun

tonos (plural tonoi)

1. (orthography and typography) The Modern Greek stress-marking diacritic: ? ? ?, written atop a vowel in a given word’s stressed syllable.

Usage notes

• The tonos is also used to distinguish some homographic monosyllables; for example: ? (i), the feminine definite article, and ? (í), the conjunction “or”. In such cases, the tonos does not reflect a difference in stress.
• When combined with the dialytika, the tonos is written between that diacritic’s two dots, as: ? ? ?.
• As a compromise of forms between the Ancient Greek oxia and baria, the tonos was designed as a vertical bar (similar to ? ? ?, the IPA primary-stress marker); however, in most cases, it and the oxia both take the form of the Latin-script acute accent: ? ´ ?.
