The Unicode Standard itself has limited support for language-specific casing
rules, those in Special Casing. The decision was made to make any further
special casing rules available via Unicode Locales (CLDR). There is a bug
open for this (http://unicode.org/cldr/bugs/locale-bugs?findid=1493), but
its resolution would need an authoritative source to submit the rules in the
form specified by http://unicode.org/reports/tr35/#Transform_Rules .

Here is an example that encodes the rules you just gave:

http://unicode.org/cldr/utility/transform.jsp?a=%CE%AC%CF%85+%E2%86%92+%CE%91%CE%AB+%3B%0D%0A%CF%85+%E2%86%92+%CE%A5+%3B+&b=%CF%85%CE%AC%CF%85

The rules would need to apply to the characters in
