Greek Dictionary and final sigma

When the Greek dictionary is loaded some words that have a final Greek 
sigma are highlighted as incorrect. It looks like that if the word (minus 
the final sigma) is present in the dictionary, then the whole word appears 
correct. If not, all the letters except the last (final sigma) are 
highlighted as incorrect. The final sigma is not highlighted.

Settings->Language has custom enabled, but final sigma does not show there. 
I am not attaching any images but if need be I can send some. Thanks.

You should specify Upper and Lower Sigma as a pair and then
finalsigma twice:

 Óò
 óó

There is nothing I can fix for the default settings since
WinEdt asks Windows which characters are a part of the
(language-sensitive) alphabet and what are their lower and
upper case equivalents. Details depend on a language and they
are different for Western, Greek, CE, Cyrillic, etc...

Some characters may not have lower-case equivalents.

Whatever you do make sure that you don't have any character in
custom alphabet repeated in more than one line.

 Òò
 Óó
 óò

Re: Greek Dictionary and final sigma

For the benefit of the list and the developers, here is some feedback. 
This issue was resolved  by adding at the end of the list of the 
Options->Settings->Language ->Custom Alphabet list two small greek final 
sigmas, side by side. This results in an additional substitution that 
corrects the problem.
