πάτÏ￾η or πατÏ￾ή ?

Forgive me for this possibly dumb question, which I may even have asked years ago in my first go at Homer. I've noticed that in the Textkit key for Pharr, any declension of πάτÏ￾η always has the accent on the last syllable. Pharr has it on the first. What's up with this?

Someone must have had interference from πατÏ￾ίς. The form Pharr has is correct.
