Notes:
[1] Third person plural and singular of
nika/w (cf.
nu 409). Evidently quoted from somewhere: there are many possibilities, but perhaps
Xenophon,
Anabasis 1.10.5 and (already at
alpha 1140) 1.9.11 respectively.
[2] See
Etymologicum Magnum 606.17; in the margin of ms M of the Suda (lacking in other mss). Contract verbs have optative forms like
-oimi more commonly in the dual and plural, but forms like
-oi/hn more commonly in the singular (Smyth ยง392).
