Notes
- Athematic aorist, third person singular, of
fu/w : cognate with Sanskrit bhū- 'to be, become', Lith. búti 'to be', Lat. fuī, Eng. "be," etc. Evidently quoted from somewhere; perhaps Sophocles, Oedipus Tyrannus 1361, wheree)/fun is glossed thus in the scholia.
See also phi 844, phi 847, phi 848, phi 854, phi 857.
