Okay, so this legitimises the use of U+02BC (with its better
word-breaking properties) for the apostrophe marking elision in Ancient
Greek even though U+2019 is stated as the preferred character _in
general_ for the apostrophe.
On balance, this would seem to suggest U+02BC can (and perhaps
should) be used for the specific purpose in Ancient Greek.
(Of course, the other character that comes up is U+1FBD, but there
the consensus seems strong that this is just plain wrong.)
Thank you all.
