Gortyn, p. 44) as follows. From the preposition h already 

 mentioned (see 4, above) was first formed v-ai, the at being the 

 same suffix as seen in the Homeric vir-ai and irap-al {cf. viral 

 TToSa veiarov B 824 ; irapal Troaiv 280), etc. This vat ap- 

 pears in Cyprian as vfai-<;. The f is parasitic (see § 17, 2). 

 The -s is the same suffix as that already mentioned in connec- 

 tion with 7ro<? and irp6<i (see above, 3). Cf. also fiejj^^pi-^ beside 

 fj'e^pt ; afM(f)i-<i beside a/x</)t ; Elean avev-<; beside dvev Coll.

The incorrectness of Ahrens' view, which connects u/rat? 

 with the Skrt. adverbs in -dis, has already been shown above, 

 § II, 2.

Conjiuietions. 



1. On 7; 'if see § 14, 6. This is probably from the same 

 root as the Doric al and Att. et, though the relations of the 

 three forms to each other are obscure. Baunack {InscJirift von 

 Gortyn, p. 50) assumes a stem siw- to which he refers el (for 

 ^(TfeT) as locative {cf. o'Uei) and 7} {i.e. *(tf>]) as instrumental ; 

 also a stem svd- to which he refers al (for ^apal) as locative ; 

 cf '^afxal. 



2. /ca? ' and ' sometimes loses its final -s and appears as ku, 

 as already explained above; see § 20, i. The relation of 

 these forms to Kai of the other dialects is obscure. Baunack 

 {InscJirift von Gortyn, p. 44) thinks that Kai was the original 

 form, which before vowels became Kai, then kg, and that this 

 KCi was extended to /co-? by the addition of -s, as in case of 

 yu,e%pi-<f for P'€'^pi, etc. (see § 33, 5). But no traces of an ante- 

 vocalic form Kc'i are elsewhere found, and the addition of -s, 

 while frequent in adverbs and prepositions, is hardly to be 

 assumed for a pure conjunction like ical. The explanation 

 of /ca? and Ka is further complicated by the existence of the 

 form Kar Coll. 59, i. Deecke (Index to Coll. I., p. 'jj)
