Ruby's Greek Thread

[Ruby Novacna]

After examining some words ending in -ain, I propose to read them as infinitives of verbs, for example :

- rain -ρειν, inf. of ρεω - to flow, pour;
- qokain - δονειν, inf. of δονεω - shake, drive about;
- pokain - πονειν, inf. of πονεω - work hard;
- qearain - διαρρειν, inf. of διαρρεω - flow through;
- orain - ορειν - inf. of ορεω - see, look.


These words are mostly found in the 'bath' and 'recipes' sections.

If my reading is correct, EVA "a" transcribes "a" in qear and "e" in ain.
