>>22936086Things used to sound different based on what mark was used (polytonic system), but now the syllable that has an accent mark is just emphasized, instead of the emphasis being implied like in English.
For example, in English you have **IM**plant vs im**PLIED**, but you don't know where to accentuate it just by reading the two words. If we were to write these two words in the Greek writing system, we would get: ίμπλαντ (implant) and ιμπλάηντ (implied).
