Notes
- Same entry in other lexica, and see also the scholia to Homer, Iliad 2.301 (where
i)/dmen [sic] is glossed by the present headword plus gloss).
The older forms ofoi)=da have the zero-grade of the root in the plural. In the first person plural,i)/dmen (iota 123) was replaced withi)/smen by analogy withi)/ste , and byoi)/damen (the word used to define the term here) by analogy withoi)=da in Ionic and later koine.
