Notes:
Hypothetical forms mentioned in this entry reflect the theory, promoted by
Philoxenus of Alexandria (
phi 394), that the Greek vocabulary was based on a core of monosyllabic verbs: see Dickey, 3.1.10 (p. 85).
[1] First person singular or third person plural; for the verb see subsequent notes. Evidently quoted from somewhere. At
Nicander,
Theriaca 322,
e)/mplhn occurs as an adverb; cf. a scholion on this verse (also
Hesychius and other lexica), and n.9 below.
[2] This verb would be from the root
pla- (Attic-Ionic
plh-) seen in
plhsi/os (
pi 1768), which alternates with
pela- seen in
pe/las (
pi 933). A vowel-stem verb could have either thematic (contract) forms or athematic (
-mi-verb) forms; this root gives the present-tense forms
pi/lnamai (athematic middle) and
pilna/w (thematic active). See also
epsilon 2788.
[3] Attested from the root
plh- meaning "fill."
[4] The athematic verb
i(/sthmi is paralleled by thematic forms: see LSJ s.v.
i(sta/w.
[5] cf.
tau 457.
[6] The contract verb
ba/w corresponding to
bai/nw (aorist
e)/bhn) occurs only in compounds: see LSJ s.v.
[7] Hypothetical forms, perhaps related to
kale/w "call" and
klhto/s.
[8] LSJ
e)/mplhn (A). On the adverb see
epsilon 1029,
pi 1757.
[9] LSJ
e)/mplhn (B). This seems to be an etymology of the
lucus a non lucendo type. Gow suggests that at
Nicander,
Theriaca 322, a better translation would be "nearly":
