37 D. 1. Ionic agrees with Attic except where the omitted consonant was Ϝ, which in Attic disappeared after a consonant without causing lengthening. Thus, ξεῖνος for ξένος stranger, εἵνεκα on account of (also in Dem.) for ἕνεκα, οὖρος boundary for ὄρος, κοῦρος boy for κόρος, μοῦνος alone for μόνος. These forms are also used generally in poetry.
2. Doric generally lengthens ε and ο to η and ω: ξῆνος, ὦρος, κῶρος, μῶνος. So μῶσα muse from μονσα for μοντι̯α, τώς for τόνς the, ἠμί am for ἐσμι, χηλίοι 1000 for χεσλιοι, Ionic χείλιοι. (In some Doric dialects Ϝ drops as in Attic (ξένος, ὄρος); and ανς, ονς may become ᾰς, ος: δεσπότᾰς lords, τός the.)
3. Aeolic has αις, εις (a genuine diphth.), οις from ανς, ενς, ονς. Thus, παῖσα all (Cretan πάνσα, Att. πᾶσα«, λύ̄οισι they loose from λύ̄οντι. Elsewhere Aeol. prefers assimilated forms (ἔμεννα, ἔκλιννα, ξέννος, ἕννεκα, ὄρρος, ἔμμι, χέλλιοι). But single ν, ρ are also found, as in κόρᾱ, μόνος. Aeolic has φθέρρω, κλίννω, ὀλοφύρρω; cp. 37 a.
