poTo?, fiovaTaKdTo<i, TeTpaKokafiapaTOi. As A is long in -ATUS, it ought to take the 

 circumflex. Most commonly, however, adjectives of this class are written with the 

 acute on the penult. 



-E I N O S, in four syllables, '"■'' from the earlier -IN OS: /j.ap<yapi,Tapeivo<i, ■n-er^uvo'i,

1. In modern Greek, /^a? is used for ij/xa? or ruiwv, and aa'i '^^ for u/ia? or vfiwv ; '■" as 



Ma<i e'Se, He saw us. '0 to'tto? fia<s, OllT place. Sa<; elSe, He saw you. 'O TOTro<: a-a';, 



Your place. 



In the same language, the original form of the article, namely, ro'i, to, t^', is used 

 for avT6<;, d, Tj, he, it, she, but only as an enclitic or proclitic ; as Triv elSe? ; Did you see 

 her ? 'O Tdvo<} Ti??, Her place. Its accusative plural t o u ? (for all genders) is used 

 also for the less common genitive toiv; as '0 T67ro<; tou<;, Their country. 



Some of these forms are found also in Byzantine Greek. Mal. 281 STpwaa<; ttjv

2. In modern Greek, the possessive pi'onoun is formed by means of the adjective 

 tStKo? or eSt/co'?, oivn, and the enclitic genitive of the personal pronoun. The ad- 

 jective refers to the property, and the genitive to the owner or owners ; as e'St/fo? fiov, 

 iSiKov fiov, eSt«rj fiov, my, mine. 



In Byzantine Greek, we find the following forms. Mauric. 1, 9 Tav e-mTinlav koI
