My "INTRODUCTORY NEW TESTAMENT GREEK METHOD" by Harper & Weidner makes this
comment about "Breathings."
4. An "initial" P (rho) is generally written with the rough breathing. When
P (rho) is doubled, in the middle of a word, the first P (rho) has the
smooth breathing, and the second the rough.
He gives as an example AR-RhHTOS "unspeakable".
(page 390, under Orthography. Copyright 1888 Charles Scribner's Sons, &
copyright 1916 Ella D. Harper)
A.T. Robertson also has a note worth reading on this double rho breathing
mark on page 225 (e) in his big grammar.

An analytical?! That's the old 1852 work by Wigram. I doubt that it will
serve to support an argument that this was common practice as late as 1967!
But yes, it does use a most curious set of markings on words beginning with
ARR-, some of which have *3* breathing marks and an accent. I'd never
noticed it in the analytical (but then I seldom use it), and I've never seen
it anywhere else. The pre-1968 L&S (9th ed.) did not do this, nor did the
even earlier 8th ed. (1897). Does anyone have any historical info that would
explain this odd orthography?
