Editing Rough breathing (section)

===Inside a word===
In some writing conventions, the rough breathing is written on the second of two rhos in the middle of a word.<ref name="rho" /> This is transliterated as ''rrh'' in Latin.
* {{lang|grc|διάῤῥοια}} ''diárrhoia'' '[[diarrhea|diarrhoea]]'

In [[crasis]] (contraction of two words), when the second word has a rough breathing, the contracted vowel does not take a rough breathing. Instead, the consonant before the contracted vowel changes to the [[aspiration (phonetics)|aspirated]] equivalent (i.e., π → φ, τ → θ, κ → χ),<ref>Smyth, [http://www.ccel.org/s/smyth/grammar/html/smyth_1c_uni.htm#64 par. 64].</ref> if possible, and the contracted vowel takes the [[apostrophe]] or [[Smooth breathing#Coronis|coronis]] (identical to the [[smooth breathing]]). 
* {{lang|grc|τὸ ἕτερον → θοὔτερον (not *τοὕτερον)}} 'the other one'
*:''tò héteron'' → ''thoúteron''

Under the [[archaism|archaizing]] influence of [[Katharevousa]], this change has been preserved in [[modern Greek]] [[neologism]]s coined on the basis of ancient words, e.g. πρωθυπουργός ('prime minister'), from {{lang|grc|πρῶτος}} ('first') and {{lang|grc|ὑπουργός}} ('minister'), where the latter was originally aspirated.

In the ancient Laconian dialect, medial intervocalic {{lang|grc|σ}} would become a rough breathing: {{lang|grc|ἐνῑ́κᾱἑ}} for Attic {{lang|grc|ἐνῑ́κησε}}.<ref>Smyth, [https://archive.org/details/agreekgrammarfo02smytgoog/page/10/mode/2up not. 9D].</ref>
