3. As regards the two varieties of a stricter and a milder Doric, the The distinction is mostly one of locality. The following is to be noticed. stricter Doric (which is nearer the Aeolic and more removed from the Ionic)

was spoken by the Lacedaemonians, the Cretans, the Cyreneans, also by the Tarentines, the Heracleans, and probably also by the other Dorians of Southern Italy the milder Doric was spoken in general by the other Bui; we also find forms of the stricter Doric in the older monuDorians. ments of Ihe milder Doric territory, thus showing that the distinction is also partly one of time. The principal differences between the stricter and the milder forms are the following the stricter Doric uses rj (a) and CD where the milder Doric, as well as the Ionic and Attic, uses the 6 and ov (arising from contraction or compensative spurious diphthongs as alpTj<r6ai = milder Doric lengthening) (also Attic) alpeurBaL, from = milder Doric p.LO-6ovvTi = Attic /u<r0ofm, from /xialpeea-dai /Ai<r$oWi (rdoovTi ; /3(aX.d for /3ovXd = Atuc f3ov\r) ; \apirjs for ^apt'eis from xaptevrs, 8iSu><; for SiSous from SiSovrs, iinrd) for LTTTTOV from ITTTTOO, AVKWS for AI'KOVS from XVKOVS it often assimilates consonants, as Laconian (6) u.KKop for na and to for ew and eo in verbs in -ew, as cVeuviw, (c) it has

The writings, most of them fragmentary. lyric fragments of Alcman (about 630 B.C.) are Laconian Doric, but he has The idylls of Theocritus (about 270 B.C.), <ilso Epic and Lesbian forms. and of Bion (ubout 280 B.C.), and Moschus except the 28th, 29th, and 30th, (about 250 B.C.) are written in Sicilian Doric (stricter form) but they have also many Epic and Lesbian forms. Pinuar (about 522 to about 442) and the other lyric poets (except Alcman) use the milder Doric with some Lesbian and many Epic forms. The fragments of the Comic dramatist Epicharmus of Cos (about 550 to about 540, lived in Sicily) and of the mime-writer Sophron of

Important writers of the long period of the Common Dialect are the poet and scholar Callimachus (librarian of the Alexandrian library from about the B.c. 260 to about 240) the historian Polybius (about 240 B.c.) the rhetorician Dionysius of Halicarnassus (lived since 30 B.c. in Rome) IHodnrus Siculus, a Jewish historian Josephus (b.

In this period of decadence there arose, especially under the Caesars, a movement in favour of purer Attic which was called Atticism.

Lyric Alcaeus and Sappho use poetry was usually written in the Doric dialect For bucolic poetry (Theocritus, Bion, the Aeolic, Anacreon the New Ionic. Moschus) Doric was generally employed. The Attic tragedians sometimes use Ionic and Doric forms in the dialogue ; in the choral parts they use the Doric a for ?/, also a for the gen. sing. masc. of the first declension, and -av for the gen. plur., besides other Dorisms (as </>iAd for <^)i'Ar;, vedvia for

CRASIS
53. Crasis (/cpoo-ts, mixture) is the contraction of a vowel or diphthong at the end of a word, with one at the beginning of the following word. The two words are then written as one, with the coronis (') over the contracted syllable. Thus TO, dyaOd, rdyatfa; TO ovopx, TOVvo/aa.

(For Synizesis, see 853, 854.) 54. Crasis generally follows the rules of contraction, with these
:

In the genitive singular, -ou is from -o-o, which, again, is 197. NOTE. from the old Ionic or Epic -o-io (I'TTTTOS, Epic I'TTTTOIO, hence I'TTTTO-O, ITTTTOV). In the dative singular, and in the nominative, accusative, and vocative dual, o becomes w ; hence in the dative, Aoyo> is from Aoyeo-i for Aoyo-i. In the vocative singular of nouns in -o?, c takes the place of o ; in the nom., ace., and voc. of neuters, a takes the place of o. In the dative plural -ois is for original -otcri, contracted from -o-to-i, which is old Attic and found In the accusative plural -ovs is for -o-vs (40). occasionally even in prose. In the genitive plural, o of the stem is dropped before the ending -tov, and hence there is no contraction as in the first declension (Swpwv, not Sjo/awv).

COMPARISON OF ADJECTIVES
COMPARISON BY -repot, -raro?

337. The majority of adjectives form the comparative by adding -repot (stem -repo-) to the masculine stem, and the superlative by adding -rarot (stem -rare-). Adjectives in -09 with a short penult lengthen -o- to -o>- before -repos and -retro?; but
-o- remains if the penult is long by nature or position, and always after a mute and a liquid.

NOTES ON THE CONTRACT VERBS

478

478. The present optative of contract verbs has two forms the regular form (modal sign -t-, the personal ending of the first person singular -pi) and the so-called Attic optative (modal sign -177-, ending of the first person The Attic optative is singular regularly -v and of the third plural -<rav). much more frequent in the singular than the regular forms, but it is seldom used ill the dual and plural.

the

the stem remains pure, as in rereXe-o-at (105, 4). stem ends in a consonant or when o- is added to

a vowel stem, the third person plural of these tenses is formed by using the perfect middle participle with W, are, for the perfect, and T^O-OV, were, for the pluperfect (739, 740).

ATTIC REDUPLICATION
548. Certain verbs beginning with a,
e,

or

o,

followed by a

single consonant, form the reduplication by prefixing the first two letters of the stem to the temporal augment. This is called the Attic reduplication, although quite common in other dialects.

Also a number of poetic and dialectic verbs and forms (976). Forms enclosed in parenthesis are not found in classic writers and and dp?#)o//cu are found only in Ionic prose, the latter being also But all these forms probably existed in Attic. poetic.
;

The form dy^o^a is perhaps from dy-i'/yoxa (which occurs 549. NOTE. in inscriptions), the second y being dropped. In eyp-n'iyopa, am awake, 2 perf. of eycipw (eye/a-), rouse, the p of the stem is also reduplicated.

The pluperfect of verbs with Attic reduplication 550. Pluperfect. This should take the augment, according to the ancient grammarians. appears certain in those beginning with o, as wfiop.oK-rj, aTr-wAoA?/.

AUGMENT AND REDUPLICATION

IN

COMPOUND VERBS

554. Verbs compounded with a preposition take the augment and rjdu plication after the preposition. Prepositions ending in a vowel (except Trept and irpo) drop the final vowel before the syllabic augment but Trpo is often united with the augment by crasis. Before the K becomes and V take their and <rvv syllabic augment proper form if they have been changed.

In the following list, the forms printed in heavy-faced type belong to Other forms are found only Attic prose, that is, to the ordinary spoken language. in poetry, or in the dialects, or in late writers. However, the mere absence of an ordinary regular form from the classic prose writers or from the dialogue parts of comedy may be merely accidental, and many such forms were doubtless good Attic. The same may also be said of some forms found only in composition in Attic prose. Forms which are inferred from other forms (i.e., imperfect active, present and imperfect middle and passive, aorist middle, pluperfects, future passive, and futureThe Roman number indicates the class to perfect passive) are usually omitted. which the verb belongs but the First Class is not indicated.

FORMATION OF SIMPLE WORDS


In all words the fundamental part is the root. are added prefixes, suffixes, and inflectional endings (159, 2). Thus the roots of the words Aeyw, T/OCTTW, Ai'0os, Sue?/, /3ous, KUKOS, yAwus, 6's, are Aey-, T/OCTT-, Ai$-, SLK-, f$ov- (/2o/-), KO.K-, yAvK-, 6-. The whole Greek vocabulary can be referred to a comparatively small number of roots. Whether these roots ever had an independent existence as words i not known.

1075. Roots.

Roots are originally of one syllable. Most of them consist by a short vowel and another consonant as <j>ep- (<ptpu), Some consist of a consonant and a vowel as So- (dldwfu), (8iicri), <f>i\- (0t\os). /3a- (fialvu). Only a few have an initial vowel followed by a consonant as dyIf a root begins or ends with two consonants, one of the two (&yw), 6p- (6pvv/JLi). is usually a liquid or a as ypa<f>- (ypd<f>u), irXex- (irXticu), &px~ (fy>X w )> ire/xir1.

1076. NOTE.

of a consonant followed

(TT^UTTW), ffira- (ffTrdb)}.

Roots of two syllables arise from prothetic or epenthetic addition .of vowels as 6-8ofa (6-Sovr-, Lat. dens, dent-is), and (72, 73) (compare d\K-ty.

FIRST PART OP A COMPOUND
1. When the first 1161. First part a noun or adjective. part of a compound is a noun or adjective, its stem alone is used. 2. In stems of the first declension final -d- is usually changed to -obefore a consonant, and is usually dropped before a vowel. 3. Stems of the second declension usually drop -o- before a vowel. 4. Stems of the third declension generally add -o- before a consonant.
