REDUPLICATION. 2/
(4) Temporal Augment (see 67) : e. g. ty-ijir-Tai
(5) In a few cases there is no Reduplication :
0180, for Folba, Sanscr. veda.
are shut in (Ftpy-), Plpf. Zp^-aTo and (with augment)
eo--ro and
t/xai / am clothed with (feo--), tv-crai, Plpf. eV-o-o,
(with augment) e-eo--m, Du. tcr-Q^v, 3 Plur. eiaro, Part. etjuteVos.
Reduplication is not to be found in the et of et/^ai,, el/zeroj,
since these are for Fta-pai, fea^e'ros (as etjua for FO-JJLO).
The
3 Sing. Pf. occurs once in Homer, in Od. IT. 191, where the best
MSS. have rja-Tai, others eto-reu and etrat. The true form is
probably e'orcu,, preserved in an oracle in Hdt. I. 47 (cp. eWcu).
apfyiayma (II. 2. 316) crying around can hardly be divided
apfy-iayma, since the Stem tax- nas initial f ( 390). But a
Stem fr/x- (Frjxri cry],
weak form fax-* without Reduplication
would give the Fern. Part. Fd^vla, whence a^i-ayma.
These examples make it doubtful whether initial F was originally
reduplicated in the Pf. stem. In Sanscr. the roots which
begin with va (answering to Gr. fe-) take u-, as uvdca (vac-, Gr.
fW-). Thus the fe- of FeToiKa, F e/"eAju,eVos, &c. may be later, due
to the analogy of other Perfects.
Se'x-arai await (II. 12. 147), Plpf. e-de'y/^ (Od. 9- 513., 12.
230), Part, beyptvos (II. 2. 794., 9. 191., 18. 524., Od. 20.385),
with the same Pf. meaning that we have in 8e6eyjmat (await) not
receive, 28) : while in other places l-Sexm, &c. are no less
clearly Aorists. It seems that we must recognise
a Pf. form
*e'yjotai (Buttm. G. G. ii. 149., Curt. Verb. ii. 144), probably
older than 5e8eyjuat.
(6) The Reduplication in Sei-5e'x-oVat they welcome, seems to be
that of the e Intensive ' forms, as in :
8a-6iVKo/*cu see 61. The
form belongs to btiK-vvfju, not Sex-ojuai (see Veitch).
