has come about by epenthesis of nu; and nu is accustomed to be inserted in barytone verbs having only one vowel of ambiguous length; for example, dyō, dynō; thyō, thynō; thus therefore also pinō only lengthens the iota; for example, But the shout did not escape Nestor, though he was drinking still but pinō both lengthens and shortens. 9Pisidia9: iota by tradition. 9Pyxinon9: For Pyxos. 248 9Pisea9: It means the clean places, it is written with iota; for from the future pisō, from which comes pisea. 9Ptisanē9: iota, and pissos from ptisai; for ptissos was as if from the black, of the black. 9Pieira9: It means the fertile, in the beginning it is written with iota, for it comes from piō; but in the penultimate syllable with the diphthong ei, by the rule of feminines in -ra. 9Pimelē9: It is written with iota, oxytone; it is of the feminine gender, and means fat; from piō and melos; it became piōmelē, and by syncope, pimelē. 9Pidax9: It means the spring; it is written with iota; for words ending in -ex do not want to have the diphthong ei in the penultimate syllable; for example, klimax; thridax; oidax; except for leiax; and just as from klinō came klinax and klimax; in the same way also from piō came piax, and with the addition of delta, pidax with iota. 9Pēgē9: From pēdō it became pēdē, and by metathesis of delta to gamma, pēgē. 9Pisa9: It is the name of a city, it is written with iota; for from piō it became pisō; as it were, the one having much water; and otherwise, because the syllable pi is found shortened in Pindar. 9Probalisios9: With iota; for just as from Trikorinthos comes Trikorysios, so also from Probalithos, Probalisios; and Probalithos is written with iota; because words in -thos do not want to have the diphthong ei in the penultimate syllable; for example, kakithos; it means the worst; erithos; it means the worker; lekithos; it means the yolk of an egg. 9Pithos9: This rule; 9Perdikos.9 9Pērin9: It means the testicle; it is written with iota, from its being of two endings; for pēris and pērin, the exterior of the private parts. 249 9Paliōxis9: It is written with iota; for it is palin and diōxis; from these it becomes, by dropping the nu and delta, paliïōxis, and by crasis of the two iotas into one long iota, paliōxis. 9Pidō9: With iota; either it comes from piō, for we say pēdan of gushing water; or because from pēdō they say it by metathesis of eta to iota, just as hēkō and hikō; with eta and iota. 9Pēdō9: With eta by tradition. 9Pidytēs9: It is a proper name, with iota; for it comes from pidō. 9Priōn9: With iota, paroxytone; for it comes from prizō; and the genitive is prionos; for the vowel of ambiguous length is short, by the rule of Amphiōn. 9Pidyō9: It means I leap, it is written with iota; for just as from rhēssō comes rhēgnyō, and from pēssō, pēgnyō, so also from pidō comes pidyō. 9Piptō9: From ptō, piptō; and reasonably, since reduplications want to begin from a short vowel; and again the verbs ending in -ptō have a single vowel in the penultimate syllable, except for philaleiptō, and anereiptō, from which comes anēreipsanto. 9Pēleiōn, Pēleiōnos9: Words with -eiōn are written with the diphthong ei, not being comparatives they keep the omega in the genitive; for example, Atreiōn, Atreiōnos; Argeiōn, Argeiōnos; Kadmeiōn, Kadmeiōnos. 9Pilos9: iota; and they say it is masculine; it means the felt cap, with iota; by the rule of those with -ilos; and otherwise, from piezō, pieō, it became pielos, and by crasis of iota and epsilon into one long vowel, pilos; just as hiereus, hireus; hieros, hiros. 9Pilō9: With iota; for just as from philos came philō, so also from pilos, pilō, and the future pilēsō; in common usage they say pēlōsō. 9Piphix9: It is a kind of bird, it is written with iota both at the beginning and in the penultimate syllable; the first comes from 250 piō; for the bird delights in these waters; and the last, because words ending in -x avoid the diphthong ei; and also by the rule of the doubtful words. 9Poikilai9: With iota because the future is poikilō; for it is from poikillō. 9Pnigō9: iota, because the perfect is pepniga, and not pepnoiga.
