This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1920 edition. Excerpt: ... second and third persons singular of the subjunctive the analogical proportion stands: vofiev veTt: veiS ve i = Xvuptv Xurjre: xutjs Xujj. Since the inducing forms, Xuets and Xuei, contained, not diphthongs, but simple vowels of the quality which appeared elsewhere in the paradigm (pp. 124 ff.), the restored subjunctive forms contained, not 77i, but a monophthong of the same quality as that of the second person plural.

In Attica the loss occurred not far from 200 B.C.1 The change is reflected in the form of Greek loan-words in Latin; Thraex, tragoedus, etc., were borrowed in early times, while Thrax, Thracia, odeum are later forms. We have the explicit testimony of Strabo that i was silent in the dative singular (of the first and second declensions, of course): xiv. p. 648: Towoi yap x DEGREESpis rov i ypavaiKrjv alrlav obK exov.2 In the fifth century 77i, ai, and wi were all true diphthongs, and at and wt remained such in the fourth 1 Meisterhans-Schwyzer, p. 67. 2" For many write the datives without the i, and reject the custom (of writing them) which has no basis in nature." century. The first member of each was probably long and of the same quality as when monophthongal. Hence wi, rather...
