Ruby's Greek Thread

[Ruby Novacna]

Words ofchd-, ofd-, opchd-
There are 11 words in the manuscript beginning with ofd-, ofchd-, and opchd-, but in this post I will examine only six:

1. ofchdor (1),
   
2. ofchdy (5),
   
3. opchdain (2),
   
4. opchdal (1),
   
5. opchdar (1),
   
6. opchdy (19).
   

The word ofchdor may be ὀφτός, a medieval term equivalent to ὀπτός in Ancient Greek:

• ὀπτός, ή, όν – roasted, broiled; baked, also of bricks and pottery, baked, burned, of soil, parched; of iron, forged, tempered; scorched.
  

The words ofchdy and opchdy could be ὀφτή, feminine of ὀφτός.

The word opchdal is well suited to ὀφταί, plural of ὀφτή.

The word opchdar would be ὀφτάς, accusative plural of ὀφτή.

The word opchdain can be:

• ὀφταῖν, gen/dat duel of ὀφτή;
  
• ὀφτήν, acc sg of ὀφτή;
  
• ὤφθην, first-person singular aorist passive indicative of ὁράω – see, look.
  

The word opchdain appears on the Rosettes page.
Which meaning would be the most appropriate?
