Betacode
*)/eromai/ se: e)rwth/sw se. kai\ *)ero/meqa, e)rwth/swmen.
Notes
- The first gloss could be future indicative or aorist subjunctive (first person singular); the second has to be aorist subjunctive (first person plural). Apparently
e)/romai is being interpreted as a short-vowel subjunctive; this would be possible for an athematic verb in epic, but this verb does not have athematic forms.
cf. generally epsilon 3055.
