This discussion is no longer live and is left here as an archive. Please do not modify this conversation, but feel free to discuss its conclusions.
The entry here has 4 meanings, 3 nouns and the 4th being a pronoun. LSJ for example has also 4 meanings, 3 nouns but the 4th is a cardinal numeral/number meaning one.
- LSJ: "ἰός [ῐ], ἴᾰ, ἰόν, [..] one, commonest in fem. (v. εἷς) [...]" & "εἷς, μίᾰ, ἕν [...]—Ep., Aeol., and Ion. fem. [..] ἴᾰ [...]; acc. ἴαν [...]; gen. ἰῆς [...]; dat. ἰῇ [...]: neut. dat. (ἰῷ κίον ἤματι) [...]"
- "AutenriethHomer" at logeion.uchicago.edu: "ἴος, ἴα, ἴον (=εἷς, μία, ἕν), gen. ἰῆς, dat. ἰῷ, ἰῇ: one; as subst. τὴν ἴαν, ‘one portion.’ (Il. and Od. 14.435.)"
- Smyth's & Messing's Greek Grammar mentions the Homeric feminine form ἴα (ἰῆς, ἰῇ, ἴαν) and masculine/neuter dative ἰῷ for the cardinal number meaning one.
So based on these sources it seems to be like this:
- Alternative forms
- ἴος (íos)
- Cardinal Numeral
ἰός (ἴα, ἰόν)
- (context: Epic, Aeolic, Ionic, and at least partly Homeric): one
- Inflection

- @JohnC5: Can you please resolve this one? (And if you have anything to add to the section immediately above this, that would be great as well.) —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 22:27, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
- @Metaknowledge: I’ve cleaned up the entry some. I’m gonna need Newt’s help with an adjectival table with only singular. —JohnC5 05:25, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
- @Metaknowledge, JohnC5 I didn't bother programming number distinction into adjectives, because I didn't think it was attested anywhere, and I'm still not sure that it is. This word has less of an inflection table than a disorganized collection of analogous forms of ἴα, not all of which are even certainly attested. I'm considering just putting a manual wikitable in there. —ObsequiousNewt (εἴρηκα|πεποίηκα) 00:09, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
- @ObsequiousNewt, would you implement your solution? I'd appreciate that. :) 00:25, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
