The purpose of this paper is to formally examine hyphenation as it pertains to Modern Greek with the aim of achieving accurate and thorough machine hyphenation. Grammar rules are interpreted and formally expressed in terms of regular expressions of word substrings, and exact hyphenation rules are derived. Vowel splitting, which traditionally is indicated in terms of prohibitive rather than explicit grammar rules, is examined in detail. Many ambiguities caused by circular definitions of the prohibitive rule vowel sequences are detected, an overwhelming majority of which are resolved within the present framework.
