Schmidt" Subject: accentuation of demonstrative in "men"/"de" construction To: classics@u.washington.edu Message-id: MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit Mimnermus 2.5-7 contains a "he men", "he d'" construction. In my edition (Campbell) the "he" before the "men" receives an accent, while the "he" before the "d'" does not. The use appears to be demonstrative (cf. Smyth 1114), but then why does the d' not get an accent? Is there a rule for accentuation of a proclitic when "d'" is elided? ----------------- Pamela K.
