Question 16

Form and use: ἐγώ and σύ

Answer 16

• ἐμέ, ἐμοῦ, ἐμοί and σέ, σοῦ, σοί are emphatic forms. με, μου, μοι and σε, σου, σοι unemphatic, e.g. ‘He is watching me’ (με); ‘Whom is he watching? Me!’ (ἐμέ).
• The unaccented forms of these pronouns are ‘enclitics’. They can never begin a sentence or clause.
• The emphatic usage of the nom. forms often implies a strong contrast with someone or something else.

Question 17

Sound rules for σ and third declension noun endings

Answer 17

Many third declension nouns have stems ending in a DENTAL consonant:

• dental STOP: –τ/-δ/-θ
• dental NASAL: –ν

When σ follows a dental stop consonant, the dental disappears and the σ remains:

• eg δ + σ = σ

A similar process occurs when σ follows –ν, only sometimes (usually in the nominative singular) it is the σ that disappears:

• ν + σ = ν.

This often (not always!) leads to COMPENSATORY LENGTHENING of a nearby short vowel.
