Except when arising from contraction or compensative 

 lengthening, a corresponds regularly to primitive Greek « and 

 CO of the other dialects, e.g. eu^ojXaf Coll. 59, 3 ; Smkoc 60, 

 16 ; avwyov 60, 2. 



1. On CD for 0)1 {i.e. co) in final syllables, see § 13, 3, c. 



2. On CO arising by contraction, see § 14, 5, 13.

Cyprian i corresponds in general to primitive Greek i and 

 to X of the other dialects ; e.g. fiuadSiv Coll. 60, 4 ; Se^tcot 

 37, 2 ; rj^i 20, I, ct pass. 



1. In a number of words x has been changed from an origi- 

 nal €, viz. eTn6{v)Ta Coll. 60, 9, 19, 22 ; peirija (Ion. eVea) 

 60, 26 ; ^twi 37, 2 ; 61 ; 75, 2 ; ^ioy 60, 27 ; I6{v)ra 60, 23 ; 

 'luxtl 60, 31 ; rep'xvijaGo, 9, 18, 22; dreXlja 60, 23 ; Karedtjav 

 60, 27 ; ^twt ^rr/. PZ'//. IVoc/i., 1886, No. 42, col. 1323. 



It will be seen that the phenomenon is confined to those 

 cases where the e was followed by a, o, or co ; so also in Boeo- 

 tian and Doric {cf. Boeotian 616^ Coll. 425, et pass. ; aveOiav 

 414, I ; Heraclean dScKicov I, 138). The j in the Cyprian 

 forms KareOijav, peTTija, aTeXija, rep^vija has been developed 

 after the change of « to i ; see below, § 18, i. Cf. Pam- 

 phylian a{v)Spija)va for dvhpewva Coll. 1267, 8. 



Forms which retain the € before a, o, « are about as fre- 

 quent as those which change it to i, viz. 'EreoSo/xa Coll.
