[Meaning] make [me] speak.
*)/espete: ei)pei=n poih/sate.
Likewise or similarly in other lexica (but sometimes with textual corruption: see
Photius,
Lexicon pi2108 Theodoridis). The correct headword, as here, is aorist imperative of
e)ne/pw, used in the epic formula
e)/spete nu=n moi, *Mou=sai ... "tell me, Muses ..." (four times in the
Iliad, e.g. 2.284; also in the
Homeric Hymns and Hesiod).
Probably from *
e)/n-spete with zero-grade of the root *
sekw-; cf.
epsilon 1351.
