Lincei, vii (1931), 71 ff.Google Scholar He derives from , the latter supposedly an emphatic particle built upon a new form and on the analogy of . There is no justification at all for this view, which also leaves out of account the pronominal use of in Alcaeus and Democritus.

^{page 235 note 2} I owe the reference to Professor L.J. D. Richardson.

^{page 235 note 3} Hence it might have been better for L.S.J, to use Bev as their lemma, and not the form , which only appears in Et. Mag. as part of its explanation of the form .

Schwyzer makes this comment on in reference to cases of compounds in which ‘das Hinterglied für das Sprachgefühl vollig undeutlich wurde’.

It would therefore not be out of the question to continue by referring to it: ‘of this word we have the neuter form without the added in Alcaeus’. Contrasted with this, returns to the earlier mention of the word: will then draw attention to the rarity of the form , as compared with the frequency of the compound . It will be seen that the problem of the reading does not vitally affect the general sense of the passage.
