1.1.2Forms
| unknown | melitẽ | N 321.5 (Antiphellos) |
The word melitẽ can be interpreted as a noun, e.g. nominative/accusative singular neuter or genitive plural of any stem. Differently, it could be a verb in -i-(ti), i.e. a 3rd singular or plural preterite indicative active. The fragmentary state of the context stands in the way of any reliable interpretation.
