itacismn.

/ˈiːtəsɪz(ə)m/

Etymology: < Greek ἦτα, the name of the letter η, pronounced /ˈiːtə/ in later and modern Greek (and English pronunciation of ancient Greek) as if spelt ἶτα; the suffix as in iotacism, rhotacism.

The giving to the Greek vowel η the sound-value /iː/, like English ee (opposed to etacism n., in which it has the original value /eː/); also the reduction in pronunciation of different Greek vowels and diphthongs (as ει, η, οι, υ, υι) to the sound /iː/ (represented in ancient Greek by the letter ι, iota); cf. iotacism n.; hence the erroneous substitution in manuscripts of ι for any of these vowels or diphthongs.
