2i)/a (iota 1) and mi/a are unrelated forms used in different dialects for the feminine nominative singular of ei(=s "one" (epsiloniota 218). From i)/os the dative i)w=| is attested in epic; with i)/a, this probably comes from the pronominal stem i- as in Latin is, id. See LSJ s.v. ei(=s. It is not clear what the personal pronoun su/ and the particle (?) i)/ are doing here.
Kuster would delete the last sentence of this entry (from i)/os to ei(=s). ↩
