21 The word before an enclitic
- a. Κeeps its own accent without change: ἐπεί τις
διώκοι.
- b. Adds an acute on the ultima, if an acute stands
on the antepenult or a circumflex on the penult:
ἄνθρωποί τινες, οἷκός τις.
- c. If it be a proclitic or enclitic, takes an acute: εἴ
φησι, εἰ δέ τίς φησι.
- d. The above rules apply also when a word and a
following enclitic are printed as one: οὗτινος, αἵτινες,
ὥστε. In like manner εἴθε and ναίχι from εἰ and ναί.
