Ἴδμεν

Notes

1. Same entry already in Hesychius (iota215), where Latte regards it as generated by instances of the headword in Homer (e.g. Iliad 1.124).
   The older forms of the verb oi)=da have the zero-grade of the root in the plural. In the first person plural, i)/dmen was replaced with i)/smen (iota 646) by analogy with i)/ste, and by oi)/damen (the word used to define the term here) by analogy with oi)=da in Ionic and later koine. Smyth, Sections 794-799 (web address 1).
   See also iota 611, iota 612, iota 615, iota 637, iota 646, iota 680, iota 702.
