>Eventually you get used to it, and you're able to tell from context
whether "tees eemerees" is "of the day" (THS hHMERHS)or "in the days"
(TAIS hHMERAIS),<

modern
= tis imeris 'of the day'
=tes imeres 'in the days'

Koine only mixed EI with I,
OI with U (like French u)
AI with E
and W with O
Hta remained a close 'e',

Blessings,
Randall Buth
