...and of black. Skaios is the evil one in all things on; and skaios is the left. Dexios [right]; krataios [mighty]; chaios is the good; baios is the small; okys is the swift tachy; glykys [sweet]. Laos is the left; but leōs is the people; it is unaspirated and remains ei. ou upon H our [form] we make the account from all, you [pl.] for the persons; and regarding what sort de, for example: "about this." It must be known that the primary pronouns do not distinguish gender; but their special characteristic is the distinction of the persons. And this indicates the orthotone form; for example, "I wrote," and clearly not another; "you accused me," and clearly not another. These were devised so that they might hold the place of a noun, being taken in its stead. And they fill the souls and bodies of the verb; or the distinction of the persons and the fact that the verb manifests every person as it occurs. And this is necessarily from the [six] persons. Of the first person, the principal form is egō [I]; which some call egōge. For the distinction is composite, encompassing and filling its own body; and words are raised up from the common and the low. In Doric, egōn and egōnē. The genitive of this is commonly emou; but in the enclitic form—for they do not take the distinction of person—it also loses the e; for example, "O my wicked soul, it being disadvantageous to you." And in the dative this same thing occurs, as well as in the accusative. In Ionic, emeo; and sometimes it takes the i and becomes meio; and sometimes it cuts off its m in the Attic manner, and becomes emeothen; and from the syncope, emethen. In Doric and Aeolic, emeu.
