Perhaps the entire enterprise of 'how to properly pronounce' Koine is pointless. As with English, Chinese (Mandarin/Cantonese), Russian, Spanish, and many other languages, there were regional accents. Who is can rightly say which accent is 'the' correct one?
When I was in Russia more than a decade ago, the locals had been taught a flavor of "British" English. I was with a group from Alabama. For the interpreter, I often had to first repeat Alabaman English in Yankee English before they understood. I was told by the locals that my limited Russian carried an accent that sounded like I was from their Georgia.
Point? You say tomato...
Respectfully,
