    Oh. Actually this is archontos in attic. It might have changed to archonta in modern greek, but it's pretty clear in the dictionary (Oxford LSD) I've got that the gen. is archontos (and I've already submitted that to be changed for future builds).

    either way, it's better than archou!

    Yes, ofcourse it's "archontos" (άρχοντος) silly me heh
    Even some relatives from the countryside use it extensively:p
    I guess it's quite easy to get all messed up if, by a possible freudic highschool memory denial, you unconsciously try to avoid remembering those ancient greek classes...

    PS. I wrote a wrong version once again before editing my post lol
