  • The plural 'περισπωμένες (perispoménes)' is an established deviation from the expected περισπώμενες (perispómenes). It occurs at the declension of the modern noun only. As a modern participle and at its adjectival use it retains its original accent:
    η περισπωμένη συλλαβή, οι περισπώμενες συλλαβές
    i perispoméni syllaví, oi perispómenes syllavés
    the circumflexed syllable, the circumflexed syllables
