    Here's an example from Greek, from my modern Greek grammar schoolbook.
    This kind of undertie (hyphen) indicates a single syllable. The text
    says:

       Synizesis

       39. The word _voítheia_ is also spoken _voíth(eia)_ in three
       syllables, _dýo_ is also spoken _dyo_ in one syllable.

    I'm also attaching a scan from _το ροδάφ'νον_, a novel written in Pontic
    Greek. In the word "λογαριάεις", they wanted to indicate that "ριάεις"
    is a single syllable, and it seems they couldn't or didn't want to use a
    quadruple undertie, so they used two double ones. This book uses quite a
    lot of double underties, but no triple ones (there is no ambiguity,
    thanks to Greek orthography).
