Sc. 328, Sapph. 14, Alc. Supp. 26.9, Pi. O. 11(10).17.—Acc. ὑμᾶς, Ar. Ach. 325, etc. ( -υ Orph. A. 820, v.l. in S. Ph. 222; ὗμας or (more prob.) ὕμας is required by the metre in Babr. 9.9, 47.11 ); Ion. ὑμέας (disyll.) Od. 21.198, al.; enclit. ὕμεας (disyll.)

(With σύ cf. Lat. tu, Goth. pu; with τοι Skt. gen. and dat. te; the origin of σφῶϊ is doubtful; with ὑμεῖς cf. Skt. acc. pl. yusmān.)
