Notes
- Likewise or similarly in other lexica.
cf. delta 148, delta 149, delta 150, delta 151, delta 152, delta 153, delta 302, delta 305, and epsilon 200.
Properly, the perfect of the verb "fear" should have o-grade in the singular, as *dedwoya which givesdei/dw orde/doika (with k inserted by analogy with other perfects). The zero-grade should appear in the plural, asde/dimen etc. But a great variety of forms are attested: see LSJ underdei/dw .
