Usage notes
- Spelling: In accordance with Georgios Hatzidakis & Manolis Triantafyllidis, Babiniotis considers αβγό the correct spelling: The ‑β‑ in the word originated from phonetic development and there is no justification for writing it with the diphthong ‑αυ‑, as though it has always existed in the word.[1] The αυγό spelling is found in other dictionaries.[2] (Also similar: αφτί (aftí) & αυτί (aftí)).
