I have used Modern Greek pronunciation in the classes I have taught. Keenee
was the pronunciation I used with the accent on the last letter.

My Greek dictionary puts the accent on the last syllable of KOINH, but my
Websters unabridged says you can accent it on either syllable. 

 

What does the group think? Those of you who are Greek teachers, do you have
your students pronounce it (in the phrase "Koine Greek") as it is pronounced
in Greek?
