Note 35 — THE PRONUNCIATION OF GREEK, &c.
Reading edition
When I was at the railway station, Skipton, in Yorkshire, waiting for a train, I heard one of the men call out, “Any person for Mánchéster” with a distinct and well-marked dwelling of the voice on the second as well as the first syllable. This gave me a very vivid idea of the manner in which the Greeks must have pronounced ἄνθρωπος, accenting the first syllable, but dwelling on the second syllable with a distinct prolongation of the voice.
