"Dê tot' anaschomenô, ho men êlase dexion ômon Iros, ho d' auchen' elassen hup' ouatos, ostea d' eisô Ethlasen; autika d' êlthen ana stoma phoinion haima."

A word is said to be lengthened out, when it has a short vowel made long, or an extra syllable inserted; e. g. polleos for poleos, Peleiadeo for Peleidon. It is said to be curtailed, when it has lost a part; e.g. kri, do, and ops in mia ginetai amphoteron ops. It is an altered word, when part is left as it was and part is of the poet's making; e.g. dexiteron for dexion, in dexiteron kata maxon.
