Greek pronunciation

I am familiar with how to get the Greek pronunciation of most words by right clicking on the word, going to Lemma, and then hitting the tab "Pronounce."  Yet with many words, they are compound, and include the Greek definite article ho

An example would be Ephesians 1:20, with the Greek word kratos, power.  I can't figure out another way to do this, but the Logos pronunciation will only give the definite article ho and not the word kratos.  Is there another way to go about this to enable the pronunciation of kratos?  Even Santa Clause can pronounce the ho!

 

Thanks for your help!

    When you right click on kratos look farther down on the right side to the second lemma, select it and then scroll to pronunciation on the left and select it.

    You might also want to consider the Greek Audio New Testament. It will read aloud to you in proper Koine Greek pronunciation, starting at whatever verse you point it to. So you can get phrase pronunciations in context. It says it's for Logos 3.0, but it works fine in L4, just that the bouncing dot doesn't follow the text as it did in L3 -- that's something still to be worked out.

    Rosie, the Greek Audio NT does not read proper Koine Greek, it actually reads the Erasmian pronunciation.  Here's the question Logos answered:


    What Greek pronunciation is used?
    Professor Schwandt uses the Erasmian Greek pronunciation scheme, which is the standard in most seminaries and Bible schools.

    There's really no way to know how Koiné Greek sounded.  One thing I wish, though, and that is for Mr. Spiros Zodhiates greek audio to be made available in Logos.  Mr. Zodhiates uses the modern Greek pronunciation and that would sure help me learn Greek to go visit Greece.[:)]
