[face=SPIonic][size=18=12]I am having trouble with a few words which I believe are related. I do not understand grammatically what they mean, nor how they are formed. (Are they nouns, participles, verb endings??) I have preceded these words with **2stars. All and any help will be appreciated.[/face][/size]<br /><br /> ...[face=SPIonic]kai\ tou\j me\n o(pli/taj au)tou= e)ke/leuse me/nein, ta\j a)spi/daj pro\j ta\ go/nota **e)/xontaj[/face][face=SPIonic][size=18=12]<br /> ...and the hoplites he commanded to remain there, their shields against their knees (held "-as" matching aspidas??)[/face][/size]<br /><br /> ...[face=SPIonic]tw=n de\ Me/nwnos straiwtw=n cu/la sxi/zwn **tij Kle/arxon **dielau/nonta peira=tai ba/llein th=| a)ci/nh|[/face][face=SPIonic][size=18=12]<br /> ...of the soldiers of Menon wood splitting, (some) at Clearchus (riding through) attempt to hit by [Dat] means of the axe[/face][/size]<br /><br /> ...[face=SPIonic]e)k tau/thj oi) stratiw=tai h)go/razon ta\ e)pith/deia, to\n potamo\n **diabai/nontej sxedi/aij w(=de.[/face][face=SPIonic][size=18=12] <br /> …from this [city, Charmande] the soldiers were buying the supplies, the river (crossing-pl.nom.?) by [Dat] means of rafts thusly.<br /><br /> --Thanks everybody<br />[/face][/size]
