I have a relatively simple question regarding manuscripts.  If
this group is not appropriate, please let me know.

Our Greek texts like Westcott & Hort and UBS all have accents on
the words.  I understand that uncial manuscripts did not have
accents.  I was told that miniscule manuscripts did have accents.

In some cases the accents can affect translation.  Is the placement
of accents up to the editors of the Greek text, are they taken
from miniscules, or are the rules for accents unambiguous ?

If this is not compatible with the purpose of this list, is
there another list which would deal with this issue.

Thanks in advance,
-lars
