Is <enanthrthrpésanta> a typo?

Huh.  I would probably write it like this:

    <kai sarkôthenta ek Pneumatos hagiou, kai Marias tês Parthenou>.

But that'd just be transliteration (letter-for-letter equivalents).
I would pronounce it something like this:

    [kE sarkoTEnta Ek pnEvmatos aG_ju kE marias tis parTEnu]

(with all the accents in Latinate places, as I never _could_ remember to
pronounce them properly).

I thought all Erasmus had was a pronunciation scheme?


    *Muke!
