Rough breathing
In the
polytonic orthography
of
Ancient Greek
, the
rough breathing
( or
daseîa
;
dasía
;
Latin
spiritus asper
), is a
diacritical mark
used to indicate the presence of an sound before a
vowel
,
diphthong
, or
rho
. It remained in the polytonic orthography even after the
Hellenistic
period, when the sound disappeared from the Greek language. In the
monotonic orthography
of
Modern Greek phonology
, in use since 1982, it is not used at all.
