336 PARTICLES. [365.
2. f*eV
and 8e, also re in its use as a connecting word, come
before other Particles. Hence we have ot 8e 8?} et 8e' KCV eyo>
8e' Ke rot et 8' az> ov ^kv yap o#re Ke ovr' apa, &c.
fxeV may be placed later when it emphasises a particular word, or
part of a clause, especially in view of a following clause with 8e,
as II. 9. 300 et 8e' rot 'Arpeto^s /xez; d7rrJx^ ero < 8' aXXovs Trep
KrA., Od. 4. 23.,
ii. 385., 18. 67, &c. ;
and in such collocations
as trot 8' TI
rot jueu eyo> KrA., eV0' ?J
rot rot)? jueu KrA. Cp. also
Od. 15. 405 ov TL TreptTrArjfl?)? \ir]v T0(rov, ctAA* ayaOj] piv.
The form o(p' av JJLZV KZV is probably corrupt, see 362 ad fin.
3. Of the remaining Particles y^P comes first : as 77 yap Ke
rt? yap Ke et Trep yap Ke ro$pa yap av a>? yap vv rot, &c.
Among the other Particles note the sequences Kat vv KZV e apa
8rj oTTTToVe Kv brf rj pa vv rt? rot vv. But apa
is sometimes
put later in the clause, as cos etTrcoz; Kar' ap' e^ero, cp. II. 5. 748
r/
Hp77 o"e juao^rtyt 6oG>s eTTt/xater' ap I'TITTOU?.
re in its generalising use comes after other Particles : hence 5e
re fj.v re yap re dAAa re 6' apa re os pa re OVT ap re
ov vv re.
4. The Indefinite ns and the corresponding Adverbs, irou, TTWS,
&c. follow the Particles. Hence we have ore Ke'z> rt?
TTW, irore,
at KeV TTCOJ 6V av Trore ov pa rts by TTOV vv TTOV TTOV rt
r? o~e,
&C.
But T follows TIS ( 332), as in Kat yap rt? re, os rts re. And
sometimes os ns is treated as a single word, as in ov nva pev (II.
2. 188), os TIS 8e (II. 15. 743), 6s Tls Ke (II. io. 44, Od. 3. 355).

Similarly we find ei TTOTC in the combination et
the more regular et 817 Trore.

TIS sometimes comes later, as II. 4. 300 o
