Headword: *(/hdomai/ soi
Adler number: eta,95
Translated headword: I take pleasure in you
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Used] with a dative.[1] [Meaning] I get delight from you.[2] Also [sc. attested is] h(/domen ['we please'], [meaning] we delight.[3]
Greek Original:
*(/hdomai/ soi: dotikh=|. eu)frai/nomai/ soi. kai\ *(/hdomen, eu)fraino/men.
Notes:
The verb in the headword phrase is the present indicative middle/passive, first person singular, of h(/dw 'I please'. See also eta 89 and eta 96 for this verb.
[1] As already illustrated by the headword phrase. Likewise in several syntactical lexica.
[2] From the Lexicon Ambrosianum (Ambrosianus B12 sup. fol.77 line 20); and cf. generally eta 575.
[3] First person plural, present indicative active, of the same verb. [This second part of the gloss is not attested in this identical form in lexicographic sources, but Herodian, Partitiones 270 has: h(/dei anti\ tou= eu)frai/nei a)/llos a)/llon; 'h(/dei, meaning one delights another'.] It is perhaps quoted from one of the Menandrian Sententiae (which is in fact its only other extant attestation): a(/pantas eu)= pra/ttontes h(/domen fi/lous; 'when doing well we please all our friends'.
