  • B MEANINGS:
    • I him, her, ἐπεί ἑό φημι βίῃ πολὺ φέρτερος εἶναι Il. 15.165; ἅλις δέ οἱ· ἀλλὰ ἕκηλος ἐρρέτω· ἐκ γάρ εὑ φρένας εἵλετο μητίετα Ζεύς 9.376-7; περὶ κεῖνον ὀΐζυε καί ἑ φύλασσε 3.408; ἡ δέ οἱ κόμη ὤμους κατεσκίαζε Archil. 29, etc.: this use is not found in Prose, exc. in dialects, IG 4.506 (Argos), 7.2407.7 (Boeot.), Berl.Sitzb. 1927.169 (Cyrene); ἀπέλαβε τήν οἱ ὁ πατὴρ εἶχε ἀρχήν his father, Hdt. 3.15, cf. 4.50, al.
    • II as ἐμέ can be used reflexively (αὐτὰρ ἐγὼν ἐμὲ λύσομαι Il. 10.378), so also ἕ (οὗ, οἷ), Ἀχιλῆα, ἕο μέγʼ ἀμείνονα φῶτα, ἠτίμησεν Il. 2.239; ἡ δʼ ἔξοχα λυγρὰ ἰδυῖα οἷ τε κατʼ αἶσχος ἔχευε καὶ ἐσσομένῃσιν ὀπίσσω Od. 11.433; ἡ δὲ . . ἀπὸ ἕο κάββαλεν υἱόν Il. 5.343: later this reflex. sense is found only when the Pron. is used in a subordinate clause or construction (esp. acc. c. inf.) and refers to the subject of the principal Verb, e.g. προηγόρευε τοῖς Ἀθηναίοις . . ὅτι Ἀρχίδαμος μέν οἱ ξένος εἴη . . καὶ μηδεμίαν οἱ ὑποψίαν κατὰ ταῦτα γίγνεσθαι Th. 2.13.
      • 2 οὗ ἕ οἷ in combination with αὐτοῦ, αὐτόν, etc. forms a reflex. Pron. used without the foregoing restriction: in Hom. the two words are separate, e.g. πειρήθη δʼ ἕο αὐτοῦ ἐν ἔντεσι δῖος Ἀχιλλεύς Il. 19.384, cf. 5.64, al.: later they form one word, v. ἑαυτοῦ. [ὅς ῾ϝʼ ἄξει, i.e. with elision of ῾ϝέ, must be read or understood for ὃς ἄξει, Il. 24.154, in view of ὅς σʼ ἄξει in l. 183, and so prob. in 1.195 (cf. 208), 4.315 (ὥς ῾ϝʼ), 16.545 (μή ῾ϝʼ), Od. 5.135 (ἠδέ ῾ϝʼ): so ἔνθα ῾ϝ(οι) ἔσαν is conjectured for ἔνθʼ ἔσαν οἱ Il. 6.289 (cf. ἔνθα οἱ ἦσαν ὕες Od. 15.556), also ἀμφὶ δέ ῾ϝ(οι) ὄσσε in Il. 5.310: the elided acc. ϝʼ is prob. to be recognized in δὸς δέ ϝʼ ἰν ἀνθρο̄ποις δόξαν ἔχε̄ν ἀγαθ(ά)ν IG 14.652 (Metapontum), rather than ϝιν.] (ἕ from *swe, ἑέ from *sewe, cogn. with ὅς (Possess.) and ἑός, qq. v.)
