[507] Cf. 22.23 “θέηισι τιταινόμενος πεδίοιο”. On the form “θείω” cf. Schulze Q. E. 277, where it is referred to a root “θηϝ” = Skt. dhAv, a longer form of “θεϝ”, so that we should write “θή”（“ϝ”）“ηι” here. Others write “θεύω” for “θέϝω” in Homer, as a proto-Epic form, on the analogy of the Aeolic “πνεύω”, and the fut. “θεύσεσθαι”. But “ϝ” passes into “υ” only before a consonant. See van L. Ench. p. 414. The form recurs only in the infin. “θείειν”, for which we can always write “θεέμεν”.
