τέ-κτο-να
Is spelled as above, and pronounce appropriately since the rule is that group of consonants that are used at the beginning of a Greek word as in
κτί-σις
ALWAYS go together.
As of
ἱ-ε-ρόν
is with only one ρ .
Theodosius (the 4th century grammarian) makes spacial case about the ρ, and why it is the only consonant that takes πνεῦμα,
usually δασεῖα ῥ at the beginning of the word, and ῤῥ in the middle of the word, and in this case each ρ belongs to a different syllable.
Usually people that use the erasmian pronunciation have a tendency to make errors in syllabication and accentuation to the point that these issues are more or less very common.
Also, hellenic words that come into english change their syllabication as english words.
