1. Ionic Dialect

   Linked via "4"

   | $ \bar{e}$ (from earlier $ \bar{e}_2$) | $\eta$ (ē) | $\eta$ (ē) | N/A |
   Note: The crucial distinction centers on the treatment of sequences like $ \text{e} \text{i}$ and $ \text{a} \text{i}$ pre-vocalically, which Ionic resolves via a retention of $\eta$, whereas Attic often shows $\epsilon\iota$ or $\eta$ depending on the precise historical environment. The psychological perception of Ionic $\eta$ as "wider" than Attic $\epsilon\iota$ is often cited by contemporary linguists when discussing its adoption in monumental sculpture inscriptions.
