Accentuation gives rise to no fallacious arguments, either as written or as spoken, except perhaps some few that might be made up; e.g. the following argument. "Is ou katalueis a house?" "Yes." "Is then ou katalueis the negation of katalueis?" "Yes." "But you said that ou katalueis is a house: therefore the house is a negation." How one should solve this, is clear: for the word does not mean the same when spoken with an acuter and when spoken with a graver accent.
