Headword: *)empi/plh
Adler number: epsilon,1019
Translated headword: fill up
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
Attic [form]: for there was a common [koine] [imperative] from pi/plhmi, pi/plaqi, like i(/staqi. There is also something similar in the Poet: "Cyclops, take [th=], drink wine."[1] For in [verbs] ending with -mi, Attic-speakers do not turn the m into q in the imperatives or shorten the stem vowel as the common dialect [koine] does: i(/sthmi, i(/staqi, but they [say] i(/sth; [also] pi/plhmi, pi/plaqi. But the Attic-speakers drop the -mi completely, saying pi/plh and e)mpi/plh. Thus also from th=mi [comes] th=, meaning "take."
