462 D. Doric has -τι for -σι, -μες for -μεν, -ντι in 3 pl., and -τᾱν, -σθᾱν, -μᾱν for -την, -σθην, -μην. -τᾱν, -σθᾱν, -μᾱν are also Aeolic.

The close agreement between Greek and Sanskrit may be illustrated by the inflection of Old Greek and Doric φᾱμί say, Skt. bhä΄mi shine, ἔφερον, Skt. ábharam bore.

463 a. D. The Hom. subj. ἐθέλωμι, τύχωμι, ἀγάγωμι, are new formations. Aeolic has φίλημι, δοκίμωμι (indic.).

b. (1) εἶς or εἴς in Hom. and Hdt. is derived from εἶ ̈ ς.  For this form ἐσς(ί) may be read in Hom. Theocr. has -ες for -εις (ἀμέλγες, etc.) and perf. πεπόνθεις (557. 2. D.).

b. (2) -σθα in Hom. indic. φῆσθα, τίθησθα, ᾔδησθα; subj. ἐθέλῃσθα also written ἐθέλησθα; opt. (rarely) κλαίοισθα, βάλοισθα. -σθα occurs also occasionally in Doric (ποθορῆσθα) and Aeolic (ἔχεισθα, φίλησθα).

c. Aeolic has τίθη, ποίη, στεφάνοι, but ἦσι says.  Subj. :  Hom. ἐθέλῃσι (also written ἐθέλησι; cp. Arcad. ἔχη), φορέῃσι, θέῃσι.

d. Hom. has -ᾱσι in ἴᾱσι they go, ἔᾱσι they are, and in βεβάᾱσι, γεγάᾱσι.  Aeolic has λύ̄οισι, φίλεισι, τί̄μαισι.

464 a. D. -ν for -μι is very rare (τρέφοιν in Eur., ἁμάρτοιν in Cratinus).

c. Doric ἦς was for ἠσ(τ).

e. -ν is regular in Doric and common in Hom. and later poetry; as ἔστᾰ-ν (ἔστη-σαν), ἔδιδο-ν (ἐδίδο-σαν), φίληθεν (ἐφιλήθη-σαν), τράφεν (ἐτράφη-σαν). The short vowel before ν(τ) is explained by 40.  Hom. ἦε-ν were became ἦν, used in Dor. as 3 pl.; in Attic it was used as 3 sing.

465 a. D. Hom. has βούλεαι, perf. μέμνηαι, but pres. δύνασαι, παρίστασαι; ὄψει is unique (for ὄψεαι); subj. δύνηαι. Doric often contracts, as οἴῃ for οἴε-αι.  Aeolic generally leaves εαι open (κείσε-αι).  Hdt. has open -εαι, -ηαι.

b.  Hom., Doric, and Aeolic have generally open forms, as Hom. βάλλε-ο (rarely βάλλευ), ὠδύσα-ο. ἔρειο, σπεῖο are from -εεο.  Hom. has ἐμάρναο for Attic ἐμάρνασο, and may drop σ even in the pluperfect (ἔσσυο).  When Doric contracts αο we have ᾱ.  In Hdt. αο, εο are open, but the writing ευ for εο is found.

f. -αται, -ατο occur in Hom. regularly in the perfect and pluperfect of consonant stems, as τετράφαται, ἕαται for ἑσ-νται, ἥατο for ἡσ-ντο from ἧμαι (ἡσμαι); also in stems ending in -ι, as ἐφθίατο. -αται, -ατο were transferred to vocalic stems, as βεβλήαται, βεβλήατο, Hdt. δυνέαται. Hom. has -δ-αται in ἐληλάδαται from ἐλαύνω drive.  In the opt. -ατο always (γενοίατο for γένοιντο).  In Hdt. η before -αται, -ατο is shortened, as perf. ἡγέαται for ἡγή-αται ̂ ἥγηνται, ἐβεβλέατο for -ηατο.  For κεῖνται, Hom. κείαται and κέαται, Hdt. has κέαται.  In the opt. Hdt. has -ατο: βουλοίατο, δεξαίατο.  In Hdt. -αται, -ατο occur even in the present system, τιθέαται, δυνέαται, ἱ^̄στέατο.

466 a. D.  -θι is not rare in Hom., pres. δίδωθι ̂ δίδου, ὄρνυθι, aor. κλῦθι, perf. τέτλαθι.  Aeolic has ἴστᾱ, φίλη. πίει, δέχοι, δίδοι (Pindar) are very rare.

3. Doric has also -ντω, as in παρεχόντω; Aeolic -ντον, as φέροντον. Doric has -σθω (pl.) and -σθων.

467 D. Hom. has -εα, -ης, -ει or ει-ν (-εε only in ᾔδεε), -εσαν, and rarely -ον, -ες, -ε; Hdt. has -εα, -εας, -εε (-ει?), -εατε, -εσαν.

469 D. -εν appears also in Hom. ἰδέεν (miswritten ἰδέειν).  Hom. has no case of -εναι (for ἰέναι write ἴμεναι).  For -εν or -ναι Hom. often uses -μεναι (also Aeolic) and -μεν (which is also Doric); both endings show the accent on the preceding syllable, as ζευγνύμεναι, ἔμμεναι ( = εἶναι), φιλήμεναι, στήμεναι, ἑστάμεναι, ἀξέμεναι, ὁμοιωθήμεναι, δαήμεναι; τιθέμεν, ἔμμεν, ἴμεν, θέμεν, ἐλθέμεν, ἀξέμεν. Doric has -μεν in the aorist passive, as αἰσχυνθῆμεν. -μεν is preceded by a short syllable and generally stands before a vowel. -ναι always follows a long vowel.  Doric has -ην and -εν in the present. Aeolic has -ην in the present and 2 aorist.
