This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1886 Excerpt: ...substitution of-to for-eo (dios) was also due to an of the nature of a j which here inclined rather to . We must begin with such forms as coexist with others in Greek itself which show an t, or with such phenomena as allow us to infer a j with certainty. First of all come the Doric futures. The i of the Doric futures in-acco, which correspond to the Skt. futures in-y'ami, remains in strict Doric only before an o-sound: npagim, Trpagio/xts, yapifciofi$a, before an e-sound, probably owing to the influence of the neighbouring vowel, it is replaced by e, which is contracted with the following vowel: epyagrjrai (Ahr. 'Dor.' 25, 26). In laxer Doric the latter representative occurs throughout: rrpaa, Trpagov/jLes, epyagetrcu.--A second undoubted instance of this substitution is the Ionic reo, rece, riwv, Teoio-L, by the side of which, for the datives at least, we have proof of Lesbian forms with i Tio, Tloktl (Ahrens 127). No one will think of doubting that the latter forms are the older, and arose, by the suffixing of an a-sound, from the st. Ti (cp. above p. 489). We have additional, though superfluous evidence of this in the Megaric era pdv = Tl firjv, strictly y'-a ji-qv, i. e. riva p.rjv (Ahr.' Dor.' 277), where the consonantal j produced the preceding a and then vanished, as well as in 609 the compound forms d-crcra, i. e. d-rja and d-cro-a, i. e. d-rja.--We met with a third case of the kind at No. 597, the Argive df3ea = ad, i. e. coFja (Lesb. ma). In all these instances then we have an t by the side of an e, and can be certain that the ( is the older of the two.--It is most probable that the same is the case, fourthly, with A evvvaos (Anacr. ' Fr.' 2, 11, 11, 2 B.) = Aiovvo-os, in which word, uncertain though its derivation is, the 6 wil...
