PRONOMEN ABUNDANS AND PRONOMEN CONIUNCTUM 69 In the evu{a <strong>and</strong> the Erotocritos 'l'O <strong>and</strong> 'l'à are still quite common, but 'l'OV <strong>and</strong> 'l'~V appear to have been pushed back by ónov: in the evu{a 'l'~V occurs 6 times, 'l'OV never, in the Erotocritos 'l'~V occurs 6 times, <strong>and</strong> 'l'OV 8 times 222. An even more important thing is that it appears to have been used Ie ss <strong>and</strong> less in relat. clauses preceded by an antecedent. In the evu{a there are 21 instances of this use, but in the much longer Erotocritos this number has been reduced to a mere 10 223. In the language of to-day it has been altogether replaced by nov. lts use is restricted to some Southern dialects 224. 4. '0 noioç Mter the discussion on ónov <strong>and</strong> 'l'OV 'l'~V 'l'O attention should be paid to the third relat. pronoun which is in use during the early Modern Greek period. This is ó noioç or ó notóç, also used in the forms ó önotOç, ó óno'ioç, ó ónotóç, óno'ioç <strong>and</strong> ónotóç. Only a few words will be said about its origin, the main purpose of this chapter being to find out how it was used. 4.1. Origin The scholars agree on the date of origin: in the course of the 13th century, af ter the crusades. Hatzidakis considers it as being brought about mainly by the influence of the Western relat. pronouns il quaie <strong>and</strong> Ie quel 225 • If it was meant as a substitute for ónov, arelat. pronoun which was not even a pronoun <strong>and</strong> of ten needed the support of a pronomen coniunctum, it has not been very successful. lts frequency in the texts is very low, ex cept in the Ohron. Mor., the Assizes <strong>and</strong> the Ohronicle of Machairas 226. And even in these texts ónov has not been pushed back by it: it is not possible to establish that the use of ónov decreased in any of them. 4.2. Use 4.2.1. Velth<strong>and</strong>ros In this romance of chivalry only two cases of ó no'ioç occur, both in the object-case <strong>and</strong> used in a nonessential clause: 462-3 uai 1; ÓJdta yveov neetuuá, À,dJaew'l'à uàueiva, 'l'à ónoia f-te'l'à f-t'YJXavijç èfJáu'l'a uá-rw ue{v'YJ. 222 Nine of the instances of the Erotoeritos occur in the set phrase TOV (TT/V) dyaná or something similar . 223 For an enumeration of these examples see Bakker, Some Remarks, n. 4, 224 See .Jannaris, § 1438, Thumb, Hell., p. 87, Id., H<strong>and</strong>buch, § 149, note 1, Tri<strong>and</strong>afyllidis, p. 298, note 1, Schwyzer-Debrunner, p. 643 <strong>and</strong> Browning, pp. 66-7. 225 Hatzidakis, MNE 1I, pp. 593-7. Different opinions have been voiced by Simon Portius (see note 200), p. 171 <strong>and</strong> Mavrofrydis, pp. 611-2. 226 This phenomenon is explained by the fact that the authors of these three texts lived in a country which was ruled by western princes.
