ξυνεηκε

The episolon followed by the eta confuses me. I realize a lot of this results from grammar and declension without resort to phonemic result, just as the first feminine declension in Attic retained the eta for female goddess after epsilon.

It appears to have some meaning related to bringing together in the perfect sense, not the imperfect, but I could be in error.

I believe it should be transcribed, Xuneeke, but if I'm in error don't shoot me for stupidity.

I've basically discovered six letters which books fail to teach learners about, digamma or wau, disigma or sampi, san, qoppa, and stigma. Are there other unreported surprises?
