And there is also a feminine form of this, the Nelitides, in [the] Odyssey; from the masculine nhli/ths with barytone accent.[2] And the second syllable from the start, namely li, is correspondingly spelled with an iota in this book. But the grammarians thought it should be spelled with an eta, and looking for a reason it should, claimed an change in Aeolic of iota to eta. Among other instances, this occurs in yimu/qion ["face pigment"], which in Aeolic [is] yhmu/qion.[3]
Interpretation of a dream: if you are holding spun [threads], expect sorrows.[4]

scholia to 19.498 record both opinions.) The masculine forms, both oxytone and paroxytone, are hypothetical, from Herodian onwards.
