Headword:
*)esw/qhn
Adler number: epsilon,3172
Translated headword: I was saved
Vetting Status: high
Translation: From sw/w ["I save"], [comes] sw/sw ["I will save"], se/swka ["I have saved"], se/swsmai ["I have been saved"], e)sw/qhn ["I was saved"]. But se/swsmai ["I have been saved"] [is] from sw/|zw ["I save"]. But sw/|zw has an iota [subscript], and [so does] every inflected form with zeta, such as sw/|zomai ["I am being saved"], e)sw|zo/mhn ["I was being saved"] and the like.
Greek Original:*)esw/qhn: a)po\ tou= sw/w, sw/sw, se/swka, se/swsmai, e)sw/qhn. to\ de\ se/swsmai a)po\ tou= sw/|zw. to\ de\ sw/|zw e)/xei to\ i, kai\ pa=sa kli/sis e)/xousa to\ z, oi(=on sw/|zomai, e)sw|zo/mhn kai\ ta\ o(/moia.
Notes:
Discussion of the principal parts of the verb "save" (LSJ entry at web address 1) cf.
sigma 827. The headword itself must be quoted from somewhere; there are numerous possibilities (but note [DW] that
Xenophon's
Cyropaedia has instances of both
e)sw/qhn and
se/swsmai; 7.2.22 and 5.4.11 respectively).
All forms with zeta had an iota before the zeta, because the suffix was
-i/zw. The iota eventually ceased to be pronounced after a long vowel, but continued to be written as a small mark below the long vowel - hence "iota subscript."
