Place.—To denote place the common endings are:—

-ι, -θι, -σι at, in to denote place where (locative). -ου, the sign of the genitive, is also common.

-θεν from to denote the place whence (ablative).

-δε (-ζε), -σε to, toward to denote place whither.

In the following examples poetical words are bracketed.

οἴκο-ι (οἴκο-θι) at home οἴκο-θεν from home οἴκαδε (οἶκόνδε) homeward

(οἰκα- is an old accusative form.)

ἄλλο-θι elsewhere ἄλλο-θεν from elsewhere ἄλλο-σε elsewhither

or ἀλλ-αχ-οῦ ἀλλ-αχ-ό-θεν ἀλλ-αχ-ό-σε

ἀμφοτέρω-θι on both ἀμφοτέρω-θεν from both (ἀμφοτέρω-σε to both sides)

παντ-αχ-οῖ in every παντ-αχ-ό-θεν from every παντ-αχ-ό-σε in all

direction side directions

πάντ-ο-θεν (rare) πάντ-ο-σε

αὐτοῦ in the very place αὐτό-θεν from the very αὐτό-σε to the very place

ὁμοῦ at the same place ὁμό-θεν from the same ὁμό-σε to the same place

Ἀθήνη-σι at Athens Ἀθήνη-θεν from Athens Ἀθήναζε to Athens

Ὀλυμπία_-σι at Olympia Ὀλυμπία_-θεν from Olympia Ὀλυμπίαζε to Olympia

a. In -αζε, -δε is added to the accusative ( ^cross1589), and stands for -α (ν) ς, the old acc. pl.,+-δε (Eng. TO). Cp. ^cross26, ^cross106. The other endings are added to the stem. -σε is usually added only to pronominal stems. -σι forms a locative plural. ο sometimes takes the place of α_ of the first declension (ῥίζοθεν from the root, stem ῥιζα_-), or is added to consonant stems. Words in -τερο- lengthen ο to ω. Between stem and ending αχ is often inserted.

b. -θεν may take the form -θε in poetry, and especially when the idea of whence is lost, as πρόσθε in front ( ^cross134 D.). -θα is found in ἔνθα in all dialects. -θα for -θεν occurs in Aeolic and Doric.

c. Some local adverbs are made from prepositions, as ἄνω above, ἔξω outside, ἔσω within, κάτω below, πρόσθεν in front.
