of the better word. 9Einatēr9: It means the bride, with the diphthong ei; from *eunē* it became *eunatēr*, and by the change of u to i, *einatēr*. 9Eirgō9: Diphthong; for from *eergō* it becomes, by crasis of the two ee into the diphthong ei; and otherwise; because the e in *ergathen* appeared; or because the o is set against it; for example, *orgē*; for anger (*orgē*) restrains (*eirgei*) someone from wishing well; and those having the o set against them have the e lying within; *kteinō*, *ktonos*; *heirō*, *heirmos*, thus also *eirgō*, *orgē*. 9Eikōn9: Diphthong ei; for from *eikō*, to be like, *eikōn* has come; for the o is set against it in *eoika*; for those having the o set against them have the e lying within; for example, *keirō*, *koureus*; *ageirō*, *agora*; thus, also *eikō*, *oikos*; but Iconium the city, and this being from *eikōn*, is written with an i; and Iconium came to be from this cause: they say a lawless woman dwelt in the place, who ordered those who visited as guests to have intercourse with her, and after intercourse she would kill them, so that her licentiousness would not be known; and that Perseus son of Danaë, arriving in these places, and being about to suffer the same things, by showing the face of the Gorgon, she herself was turned to stone; and this image remained stone for a long time; from which cause 206 they also named the inhabitants of the city Iconium; but it is written with an i, since the initial vowel was found shortened in Menander. 9Eikō9: It means to yield, it is written with the diphthong ei; for the word *oikos* is set against it; as if, into which we all yield; for those having the o lying within have the e set against them; and the first aorist was also found in separation; for example, *eerxe*. 9Ekeinos9: Diphthong ei; for the Dorians also make the spelling *kēnos*, and *tēnos*, with an ēta; for they have the custom of changing the diphthong ei; for example, *pleiōn*; *meiōn*, *mēōn*; but the original pronouns, the single-person ones, prefer to begin with a vowel; for example, *autos*, *houtos*; thus, therefore, *ekeinos* also took the e because of this rule. 9Eurōpeia9: With the diphthong ei, by the rule of proparoxytones ending in -eia; and Eurōpeia is a proper name; for feminine words ending in -eia, with the same meaning, are written with the diphthong ei; for example, Kalliopeia; Plēstodokeia; thus also Eurōpē, Eurōpeia, with the diphthong ei. 9Emeia9: With the diphthong ei, by the rule of proparoxytones ending in -eia; and otherwise; just as from *energō*, *energeia*, and from *anthō*, *Antheia*; so also from *emō*, *Emeia*, with the diphthong ei; it is a place near Mycenae; and it is called Emeia, because there Cerberus vomited, having come up from Hades; or because Thyestes, having eaten his children, vomited there. 9Hexeidion9: It means habit, with the diphthong ei in xei; it has come from *hexeōs*, *hexeidion*, just as from *lexeōs*, *lexeidion*; and from *opheōs*, *opheion*, from the Attic genitive; that of *hexios*, and *lexios*, and *ophios*; all with an i. 9Encheiridion9: It means both a small book, and a sword; it has come from the dative *enchei*; it should be known that words composed from the 207 datives of neuters in -os are formed in part in this way; for if a vowel follows, or a single simple consonant, the diphthong ai is preserved; for example, *oreiaulos*; *oreichalkos*; *Oreigenēs*; *Ōreithuia*; by extension of the o to ō; *encheirmargos*; it means oregano, for it cast off this o of the dative *orei*, and extended the i; but if two consonants follow, or a single double one, it drops the e; for example, *oritrophos*; *oridromos*; *oribremetēs*; *hypsibremetēs*; *hypsizygos*. 9Erechtheion9: That of Erechtheus, diphthong. 9Eidar9: It means food; with the diphthong ei; from *edō*, meaning to eat, it became *edar*, and by pleonasm of the i, *eidar*, with the diphthong ei. 9Epikēdeion9: Diphthong ei in dei; for it is a possessive from *kēdos*. 9Eidos9: Ei; since *oida* is set against it; and it has been said before about the o being set against; thus also *eidō*, meaning to know; becomes *oida*, and from it *eidō*, *eidos*; it means the form and the shape; and that which is divided from a genus; for example, man; horse; olive tree. 9Eidikon9: When indeed the form
