[10] δέξο, compare “λέξο” (9.617, with note) and see H. G. § 40, where it is regarded as an old form of the sigmatic aor. before the -“α”- had found its way into all persons from the 1st sing. and 3rd plur., and had thus become a thematic vowel; so that “λέξο, δέξο” represent not “λέχ-σο, δέχ-σο” but “λεχ-σ-σο, δεχ-σ-σο”.
