Yes, I have received an explicit suggestion to drop the Tonos, (it showing
that the vowel is a monophthong, not diphthong?). I assume it doesn't alter
the pronunciation. Unfortunately the Expert didn't want to be explicitly
referenced so included here on BCC.

And also there was a confirmation that substituting HOOK SYMBOLs with ` should
be fine.

I'm totally transparent as to how these questions should be handled. In the sense
that if somebody has a reason to transliterate in any different way I would be
fine with that.
