[665] δαίνυτο, opt., like “δαινύατ᾽” Od. 18.248, see note on “ἐκδῦμεν” 16.99, and H. G. § 83. 1. Philoxenos accented “δαινῦτο”, regarding the word as contracted from “δαινύατο” (plur.). This of course is impossible. The word might stand for “δαινύϊτο”, but it is not clear that the two vowel-sounds were ever ‘heterosyllabic’; more probably they coalesced from the first.
