9Cowardly9: Through the diphthong ει; for just as from the future σχήσω, meaning χωρῶ, comes χηλὸς, and it means the ark; and just as from the future βήσω comes βῆλος, which is a step, so also from δείδω, δείσω, meaning I fear, comes δειλός; the diphthong ει being from the verb. 9Dinner9: Through the diphthong ει; from δεῖ and πονεῖν; for δεῖπνον is, as it were, that after which it is necessary to work; and δεῖπνον is said of the unmixed. 9To be necessary9: Diphthong; and it means that which is necessary; and it is written with the diphthong ει; since from δέον came the infinitive 194 δεῖν, as from πλέον, πλεῖν; for example, δεῖν γενέσθαι, instead of it being fitting to become. 9I flay9: Through the diphthong ει; and it came from the future tense; for δερῶ is the future, and because the ο is set opposite it; for example, δορά; for things that have the ο set opposite have the ε within them; for example, σπείρω, σπορά; ἀλείφω, ἀλοιφή; and all words in -ειρω avoid being written with ι alone; for example, οἰκτείρω; κείρω; thus also δήρω with the diphthong ει. 9Neck9: That which means the neck, with the diphthong ει; for the Aeolians say δέῤῥα; just as they say κέῤῥω for κείρω, so also δέῤῥω. 9Wooded9: The δρη; eta from δένδρα, the α having been turned into η; and the εις a diphthong; since the genitive is δενδρήεντος; for the genitives in -εντος are written with the diphthong ει in the nominative; for example, χαρίεντος, for χαρίεις; τιμήεντος, τιμήεις; and otherwise because it has the neuter δενδρῆεν, and similar forms. 9Terrible9: ει; As it were, that which produces fear; and just as from ἔλεος comes ἐλεεινὸς with the diphthong ει, so also from δέος comes δεινὸς, and by crasis δεινὸς with the diphthong ει. 9Dire9: It is necessary to know that when this δεινὸς changes the ε to α, and drops the initial consonant, that is the δ, it becomes αἰνός, just as μέχρι becomes ἄχρι, by the change of ε to α. 9Deidia9: That which means the moonless night is written with the diphthong ει in the first syllable; for it came from δεινὸς; and all derivatives of δεινὸς are written with the diphthong ει; for example, δεινομέλης; δεινολόγος; so also ∆εινίας, and ∆εινών; and it is a proper name; but the νι with ι; for words ending in -νια are written with ι. 9Fear9: And it means fear and is written with the diphthong ει; for just as from ποιήσω comes ποίημα, so also 195 from the future δείσω comes δεῖμα; and it is written with the diphthong ει, since the future δείσω, which means I fear, is written with the diphthong ει. 9Deimos9: It is written with the diphthong ει; for from δέος comes δέϊμος, and by composition of ε and ι into the diphthong ει, δεῖμος. 9I will show9: Through the diphthong ει; for it has come from δείκω, meaning δεικνύω; and the ε also appeared in the verbal; for Herodotus produced it without the ι; for he said "this is the showing forth of history." 9Of two9: For of two. 9Likeness9: The δει through the diphthong ει; and it means both the statue and the image; for just as from πέμπω comes πεμπώβολος, and it means being of many years; and just as from ἄγω comes ἄγελος and ἄγγελος, so also from δείκω, meaning δεικνύω, comes δείκελλον, and by lengthening of the ε into η, δείκηλον. 9Fearful9: The δει a diphthong; for just as from τάρβος comes ταρβαλέος, so also from δεῖμα, meaning fear, comes δειμαλέος, written with the diphthong ει; And it must be known that words in -αλεος of more than three syllables have the accent on the antepenult; for example, ἀργαλέος; σμερδαλέος; δειμαλέος; νηφαλέος; except for four: δαιδάλεος; κοβάλεος; ἀτασθάλεος; αἰθάλαιος; and αἰθάλεος has two meanings for it comes from αἴθω; just as also from νήφω, νηφαλέος. 9Afternoon9: Through the diphthong ει; from being wanting and lacking in ἔλλη, that is, in heat; δέλλη therefore is light, and by crasis of ελ into the diphthong ει it has become δείλη; and from this ἡ δείλη, τῆς δείλης, adverbially; for example, "I came in the afternoon." 9Darius9: Through the diphthong ει; for trisyllabic words in -ειος having the accent on the antepenult, and in the first syllable an α
