ADVERBS. 93
In the Compound OO--TLS the first part is sometimes declined as
09, rjf, o, sometimes undeclined, giving- o-rtj, o-rev, &c. The Neut.
Plur. is once O-TIV-CL 22. (II. 450), usually oVo-a.
In the forms with TT, -mr (as o'rrt, 077770) we have s) to recognise
the original Neuter 08 (Sanscr. yad ).
Thus 08 rt becomes or rt
(not oo-rt, since rt is a distinct word, not a Suffix).
In orreo,
which occurs in the Odyssey (i. 124., 17. 121., 22. 377), 68- is
indeclinable (cp. o-ru), and so in OTTTTCO?, 0777700-09, 677710109, &c.
For the assimilation we may compare Kab 8e, KQITT trfbiov, &c. (for
Kar 8e Kar
3.
The Article is declined from two Stems :
6-, Fern, a-, which gives 6, f), ot, at :
perhaps also cos thus,
is distinct from the Relatival o>? as.
if it
TO-, Fern. rd-, which gives the other Cases, and second forms
of the Nom. Plur. rot, rat : also the Adverb rws thus.
The Compound o-8e uses the Stem o- for the forms o-8e, 17-86,
ot-8e, at-8e, and the Adverb (II.
10. 462
and Od.).
The -8e is enclitic : hence the accent, ?J-8e,
not ^8e.
Strictly, therefore, it should be written o 8e, rj 8e, &c.
The forms tyavTov, vtavrov, &c. are post- Homeric. The earliest
instance of a Compound of this kind is the word !aur?j, in Hes.
Th. 216.
