Character too use for primes when Greek letters are cited as numerals #8

E.g. in the entry for the alpha:

<sense><gloss>alpha</gloss>, the first letter of the Greek alphabet. As a numeral, <foreign xml:lang="grc">ά</foreign> = 1,

Here the alpha has the tonos rather than the following prime; the beta in its entry has a simple apostrophe. We should use the same character throughout the dictionary.

I will investigate to see if there are any instancesbthat need correction

All but rho have been changed to use the apostrophe. Rho has not, but has a note about the fact that it is always accented as the first character of a word.
