Incorrect syllabification of αυῖ (e.g. μεμαυῖα) #7

It appears the syllabifier sees αυ and decides it's a dipthong without checking ahead here: αυῖ is treated as a single syllable, instead of α-υῖ. There may be a few instances where αυ is indeed a dipthong, but if so they are rare.

Further info:
Example code:
In [3]: word="μεμαυῖα"
In [4]: syllabify(word)
Out[4]: ['με', 'μαυῖ', 'α']
(Should be: ['με', 'μα', 'υῖ', 'α'])

  • Same problem with rarer αυί
  • Same problem with ηυῖ (e.g. πεπτηυῖαν)
  • Same behaviour with ευῖ, ουῖ, but there the fix is different (almost always should be ευ-ῖ, ου-ῖ).

Thanks for the tool, hopefully this will be a simple fix :-)
