Betacode
*kekine/atai: keki/nhtai. 

Notes

  1. The headword kekine/atai is the Ionic third person plural, perfect middle/passive, of kine/w, which the Suda misconstrues as a singular and glosses accordingly. The form is attested in Hipponax [iota 588] fr. 73.4-5, oi( de/ m[eo o)]do/ntes e)n tai=s gna/qoisi pa/ntes kekin[e/a]tai, "and all my teeth have been moved in my jaws" -- where however the metre requires the compound ekk-. It is already cited as an example of the Ionic plural by Herodian (peri\ paqw=n v.3,2. p. 225.)
