Other than that, for extensive poetry typesetting I like the package "poetry", which is part of the "technica" suite.
Gamma is read as n (or rather as ŋ) before kappa and gamma. for example, ¥ggeloj is what english angel ultimately derives from.

Thank you for putting this up here, I've had trouble with line breaks when trying to make PDF's out of text written in dactylic hexametre, hopefully this will fix that! It looks great, I can't wait to give it a go.
