*(etoi/mws
Adler number: epsilon,3339
Translated headword: readily
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning] preparedly.[1] But e)tu/mws [means] truly.[2] [It is written] with upsilon and smooth breathing.[3]
Greek Original:*(etoi/mws: e)mparaskeu/ws. *)etu/mws de\ a)lhqw=s. dia\ tou= u yilou= kai\ yilou=tai.
Notes:
[1] The primary headword is an adverb from the adjective
e(/toimos (
epsilon 3338).
[2] For this equivalence see already
Hesychius epsilon6666 (where Latte claims the headword as quoted from
Euripides,
Orestes 1357), and cf.
epsilon 3340.
[3] The two adverbs had in fact come to be pronounced alike. (The Suda alphabetizes omicroniota and upsilon consecutively, indicating that they sounded the same; and all initial aspiration had been lost long before Byzantine times.)
Keywords: definition; dialects, grammar, and etymology; tragedy
