Headword:
*)emplei/mhn
Adler number: epsilon,1025
Translated headword: I would be filled
Vetting Status: high
Translation: Meaning I would be sated.
Aristophanes [writes] in
Acharnians: "I would not be filled with throwing rocks at him." He has hit on an optative inflexion. For [the verb] is
e)mpiplw=, which is inflected with reduplication -- from which a derivative [is]
e)mpi/plhmi.[1] From this comes [
pimpla=si] "[the fish] fill the recesses of the sheltering harbor."[2] This [comes] with another derivative, from which [is]
plh/qw, as from
nw= ["I swim"] [comes]
nh/qw. And indeed from
plw= [the optative is]
plei/mhn, as from
blw= [the optative is]
blei/mhn. Of this the second person [is
blei=o], "if you are hit while toiling [in battle] ..."[3]
So
plei/mhn [occurs] and [so does]
e)mplei/mhn.

Notes:
The main part of this entry comes from a scholion on
Aristophanes,
Acharnians 236 (web address 1); modern editions print there
e)mplh|/mhn rather than this
e)mplei/mhn.

pi/mplhmi (athematic) and (more rarely)
pimpla/w (thematic, contract verb) occur.
