  Yes, indeed.  I never said anything to the contrary.  There can even
be more than two entries if there are several characters with oxia-tonos
in the pattern (rare).  We do the same for some variants of sigma
(generating even non-final sigmas in final position, strange).

  I did moot the idea of enhancing the hyphenation algorithm with an
equivalence table (I came across several use cases that would benefit
from that), but someone would need to work on it, of course.

  Sorry, no.  Ancient Greek is no more "properly encoded" using the
characters in the U+1F00 range than with the ones in the block starting
at U+0370.  According to everything I've heard on the subject, encoding
two series of characters for that diacritic, whatever we call it, was
simply a mistake and they should really be considered completely
equivalent (that's why they're canonically equivalent in Unicode, of
course).

  If you can find it, I'm a little curious :-)
