Thanks Florian, 


I can confirm that it was kind of a typo. The reason behind it being that old Greek is using E/e as a transliteration and that's the source of that inconsistency. We want to use modern Greek transliteration so it should be I/i everywhere. I have submitted a a corrected version of the patch (v2).

Bests,
Diego
