Testing and composing strings

Composing strings

Several functions simplify composing a string.

Example: compose a perfect active verb form from a stem and ending:

using PolytonicGreek
ortho = literaryGreek()
s = strcat(ortho, "γραφ", "ται")

"γραπται"

reduped = reduplicate(s, ortho)

"γεγραπται"

accentword(reduped, :RECESSIVE, ortho)

"γέγραπται"

Example: composte a pluperfect active verb form from a stem and ending:

s = strcat(ortho, "γραφ","ει")

"γραφει"

reduped = reduplicate(s, ortho)

"γεγραφει"

withaug = augment(reduped, ortho)

"ἐγεγραφει"

accentword(withaug, :RECESSIVE, ortho)

"ἐγεγράφει"
