• (Received Pronunciation) enPR: kŏrōʹnĭs, IPA^(key): /kɒˈɹəʊnɪs/,[1]

coronis (plural coronides)

1. A device, curved stroke, or flourish formed with a pen, coming at the end of a book or chapter; a colophon. For example: ⸎, ۞.
2. (figuratively, obsolete, rare)[1] A thing’s conclusion; its end.[1]

     The coronis of this matter is thus ; some bad ones in this family were punish’d strictly, all rebuk’d, not all amended.

3. (Ancient Greek grammar)[1] A character similar to an apostrophe or the smooth breathing written atop or next to a non–word-initial vowel retained from the second word which formed a contraction resulting from crasis; see the usage note.

• Generally, the Ancient Greek breathings are only written atop initial letters (the consonant rho, initial vowels, and the second vowels of word-initial diphthongs). The coronis is one of only two exceptions to this rule; the other is the case of the double-rho, which is written as ῤῥ.
