Evidently it is contracted from κέομαι. But isn't epsilon+οmicron supposed to yield omicron+upsilon in contraction? That's what happens with verb endings.
Thanks in advance.

Here is an unrelated question. [...] Presumably this verb is thematic. Do they just write it in the uncontracted form for the dictionary entry?

Try ἀκέομαι
