has the doubtful vowel shortened, for example megas mega, brachys brachy, tis ti. Tis of what kind of those falling under the noun?Of the interrogative. Define it.The interrogative, which is also called inquisitive, is that which is said by way of questioning, for example, tis, poios, posos, pelikos. How does inquiry differ from questioning? It differs, in that questioning is from the questioner alone; for it is sufficient for the question just to nod or shake one's head, for example "did you do it?", "did you understand?"; but inquiry along with the utterance also wishes to receive the answer, for example who, where, whither, whence, how. And otherwise; that questioning is found in every part of speech, for example "did you write something to Socrates;" "Who is reading? I am;" but inquiry is found only in nouns and adverbs or the 'yes' or the 'no'. How many nominal, inquisitive, interrogative words are there? 9. How, and in how many ways, does 'tis' differ from the other inquisitive nominals? In four. First, that while the inquisitive words begin with P, for example poios, posos, 65 'tis' begins with T. And why did it begin with T? Because it is an inquiry about substance itself, for example, "who is it?" and we say, Socrates, Plato; but the other inquisitive words are inquiries about what surrounds the substance; for example, poios, quality, white or black; posos, quantity, long or small, postos, of order, for example, first, second. Second, that while all inquisitive words end in OS, 'tis' does not end in OS, because those begin with P, but 'tis' with T. Consequently therefore, as it differed in its beginning, it also differed in its ending. The Aeolians, however, say 'toios', "with such eyes," as in Sappho. Third, that while all inquisitive words exceed one syllable, this alone is monosyllabic. And why is this alone monosyllabic? Because it differed only in its beginning letter, and consequently in the quantity of its syllables. Fourth, that while all simple words in IS do not make a formation of the neuter; (for the compound ones do, for example phygopolis phygopoli;) this alone, being simple, makes a formation of the neuter. Why? Because it is inquisitive, and inquisitive words are of three genders. Of what kind? Of those falling under the noun; it is both of the interrogative, as has been said, and it is also of the indefinite. Define it.The indefinite is that which is said contrary to the interrogative, for example, hostis, hopoios, hoposos. How does the indefinite differ from the interrogative? It differs, in that the one questioning seeks for something to be defined, or the one questioning knows what he asks; but the indefinite is unknown.The 'tis', how is it declined? If it signifies the interrogative, tinos, the accent is on the penult. (The accent is made acute and grave for different meaning.) But if it signifies the indefinite, how is it declined? Tinos; the rule; monosyllabic oxytone words in IS with a long final syllable are declined through pure OS, for example, kis, kios, the woodworm, lis, lios, the lion; but 'tis', having changed in quantity, changed in declension. Tinos, the accent? Disyllabic genitives in OS tend to be oxytone.The accusative tina.The accent? 'tina' again 66 has the accent according to the meaning. Tis, and the vocative? It does not have one. For how is it possible for the inquirer to call what is not present, but sought?The genitive of the plurals, tinon. The accent? Disyllabic nominative plurals in ES put a circumflex on the genitives, menon, chenon, graon. 9 are noted: tinon, panton, Troon. And why; it is noted, look under 'panton'.The 'tis' and the feminine 'he tis'. Why do the feminines sound the same as the masculines? For the feminines that sound the same as the masculines also receive the same declension, for example ho euphyes tou euphuous, he euphyes tes euphuous. The neuter 'to ti'.That every neuter formed from a masculine, if it were to be declined with an equal number of syllables, sounds the same as the accusative of the masculine, but if with an unequal number of syllables, as the vocative; of 'tis', however, the vocative, even if it has dropped out due to meaning, nevertheless the neuter is regulated as from the vocative. 'hina' and 'ti' being compounded becomes an adverb, and
