Notes:
[1] The headword is a Doric enclitic pronoun, used also in lyrics of Attic tragedy, usually for masculine or feminine accusative singular, but also sometimes for neuter singular or plural and for masculine or feminine accusative plural. It is glossed here with a feminine accusative plural, from the scholia on the first passage quoted.
[2] Sophocles, Oedipus at Colonus 42-43 (web address 1), with scholion. On the Eumenides, see generally epsilon 3580, epsilon 3581.
[3] Sophocles, Electra 624-625 (web address 2), with nin for neuter accusative plural.
[4] Sophocles, Oedipus at Colonus 113-115 (web address 3). There is no nin in this quotation.
