The 20to yoke20 is paroxytone; for it has a short gnu, according to the sequence, he says, of 20to give.20 7.58 20I dig, I scratch20 and 20to dig, to scratch,20 and the like are paroxytone. 7.59 Verbs ending in uo have a long penult; 20I hinder, I reveal, I close, I sacrifice.20 The ancients, having the infinitives from these long, such as the 20to reveal, to hinder, to close,20 and the neuters have a properispomenon accent; but the custom of the moderns makes all these paroxytone, except for those from 20I sacrifice20 and 20I loose20 and 20I rescue;20 for they have a properispomenon accent on those from these.
