To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is Hebrew-Phoenician r\yo ; cf. Lat. mina, Sk. tnana (also a loan-word) ; cf. Zimmer, Altin- \ disches Leben, p. 50. The circumflexed form ci * thou art * I have explained previously in a totally different connection and from a different point of view, as owing its orthotonesis — in distinction from the enclisis of etVt, fOTc, etc. — to the analogy of verbal forms with the circumflex due to contraction : see Historical and Critical Remarks, p. 59 (39). 11 see no reason for retracting this vi...ew, and I am not aware that f any authority has objected to it, or that a more plausible one has « been advanced hitherto.* Much of the perispasis of long monosyllables in Attic-Ionic may be in this way ultimately exhibited as secondary. The small investigation given above may serve rather as a guide in the matter, than lay claim to an exhaustive examination of the possibilities in that direction. Yet it seems to me that no one will be found will- ing to undertake the thankless task of explaining away\ all the I instances of the circumflex on long monosyllables Tecountefd above, n without calling in the aid of that retraction of the accent which is 1 1 an infallible law in the monosyllabic forms of the finite verb.
