Itacism /(?)/

I·ta·cism

Itacism

n.
  1. Pronunciation of η (eta) as the modern Greeks pronounce it, that is, like e in the English word be. This was the pronunciation advocated by Reuchlin and his followers, in opposition to the etacism of Erasmus. See Etacism. (Greek Gram.)
    In all such questions between ε and αι the confusing element of itacism comes in.
