ifela-ri'i 6B>, I, has f, but the exact form of the word is 

 uncertain; see § 12, 2. 



ev^apeiTe 56 is impossible as a Cyprian word ; but the F is 

 certain. 



Vi\(\)LKafo<i Coll. 29; Vi\(\)iKapL Berl. Phil. Woch., 

 1886, No. 41, ii. ; ^afxapo^ Berl. Phil. Woch., 1887, No. 12, 

 col. 380, are Phoenician names. 



7i0f7]<i and ^ k^^aifo'^ communicated by Sayce in Berl. Phil. 

 Woch., 1884, No, 21, are doubtful, and need confirmation. 



Exceptions to the retention of a primitive medial p are 

 more frequent than in case of initial p. We find the follow- 

 ing : ^acriXrio^ (cf. ^aai\^]foi) CoLL. 1 7, i; 38, i; 40,2; 

 154, 155, a, b; 156; 193; Ato9 {cf. li^ipeideiii<i) 73, I ; 'Ereo- 

 hdjxa (cf. 'EjTepd{v)hpoi) 1 35 ; SeoKXio'i {cf Nt/co/cXe/rr;?) 1 26, I ; 

 iepTjo^ {cf iepr}fo<i) 38, 3 ; Tt/xoKXeo'i 35 ; Aa' Berl. Phil. Woch., 

 1886, No. 41, ix. ; ^a(Ti\r\o<i Bezs. Beitr., xi., p. 316; Nea-? 

 'j6. Nm/x/^vlo^ Berl. Phil. Woch., 1886, No. 42, col. 1323, is 

 a contracted form (see § 14, 10) for 'Neofjbyjvoo'i ; cf. v6fO(7TdTa<i 

 Coll. 59, 2. 



On 'hi8a\Lr]JL Coll. 60, 31 instead of 'HBaXirjpi, see § 18, 4. 



Several inscriptions seem to belong to a transition period 

 and exhibit some forms with p and some without ; e.o-. in 

 Coll. 38 /3acn\7]o<;, lepijoq, but favda{a)a<i ; in ^gTi/jio^dpifo^, 

 ^acnXfjfO'i, favd(r{a)a<;, but tjepP]0(;; in 40 Nt/co/cXe/r?;?, pavd- 

 a{a)a<i, but ^a(Ti,\rjo<; ; identical with Coll. 40 is the inscrip- 

 tion given by Deecke in Besz. Beitr., xi., p. 316. 



2. In addition to the p above mentioned the Cyprian has 

 developed a semi-vocalic v between « or tv and a following a or 

 €, which it also expresses by p. The instances are : Bvpdvoi 

 (for Su-avoL, root Sv- ; see § 9, i) Coll. 60, 6 ; Evpayopco 153 ; 

 154; abbreviated Evpayo- 155 b; 157; Eupa- 155 a; 156; 

 159; Eupd{v)dr)<i 163; Evpd{v)9epo<i 161 ; Evpd{v)6eo<; 162 ; 

 Eu/reX^wi/ 171, 172; Evpe\6o{v)ro<i 165; 167; 168; 169; 

 KareaKevpaae 31, 3. The preposition vpaa, 60, lO, 22, 28, is 

 also probably to be explained in the same way ; see under 

 Prepositions, § 33, 5.
