Notes
- For this verb, compare generally eta 13, eta 14, eta 19.
The primary headword of the present entry,h(bw=mai , could be present subjunctive or indicative, but because of the supplementary lemmata it should doubtless be understood as subjunctive (or possibly as an optative form without a iota). The addendah(bw=|mi andh(bw/oimi are both optative. The last, here glossed, comes from Homer, Iliad 7.157; cf. Hesychius eta22.
