        *Language:* greek_modern

        *Direction:* Roman to Script

        *Source:*   Hymnos

        *Result:*   Ὑμνος

        *Expected:* Υμνος

Modern Greek spelling uses "monotonic orthography", which omits the rough breathing mark. So, initial "H" should not be converted to the rough breathing mark, even though the reverse mapping is valid (Ὑμνος => Hymnos).

See https://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/romanization/greekm.pdf and
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_diacritics under "monotonic orthography".
