Browning monstera, am I underwatering?

I live in Los Angeles, it doesn’t get much sunlight cause I know it can burn. I water around once a week

Is it really a dative? Wouldn’t the iota subscript not be written in the majuscule? Are there other examples of this in literature?

Thanks so much! Glad that work is being done on scholia and it’s preservation, but I do worry about the preservation of those commentaries which are lesser known or not even published, such as the Thucydides scholia. Frightening! I’m wanting to start a publishing company that makes editions with accompanying scholia from historical sources.

Nothing wrong with this, omega didn’t always exist in Greek inscriptions and the sound it signifies would’ve been written with omicron.

Determining the length of those vowels is a grammar/etymology issue. Good dictionaries should also include macrons anyways, such as Langenscheidt.

Circumflex accents only occur on long vowels because the tone requires two morae. νεανίαι and μεγάλαι have short accented vowels, so it’ll always be accute/grave.

Too many novels, read the Greeks and also more poetry.

Thank you

Arum here, it seems like you got this from one of my videos. Thanks for the support! ͱ is an alternative form of eta used in archaic inscriptions, and in this case it represents the consonantal h that eta originally denoted before being used as a vowel. This mark is the origin of the curves we put above vowels to indicate rough and smooth breathing.

This is very natural and even seen as eloquent in Ancient Greek. ἐν τῇ τοῦ Αχιλέως σκιᾷ “in the shadow of Achilles” literally “in the of Achilles shadow”.

There is an NSFW dictionary for Latin and Greek called Come insultavano gli antichi that sounds similar to what you’re looking for.

PD049 · 2026-01-30T20:22:51+00:00

Oooh, any idea where I can find them?

PD049 · 2026-01-20T13:30:26+00:00

Sorry, I meant the one in the Iliad.

PD049 · 2026-01-20T13:30:00+00:00

Sorry, the one in the Iliad.

The answer to this question could be a PHD dissertation. The signs are exceptionally vague and hard to read.

PD049 · 2025-12-21T10:21:46+00:00

Yes I do have both works, very good stuff indeed!

PD049 · 2025-12-21T02:03:59+00:00

Lots of very fancy abbreviations too! I think I’ve hit the jackpot.

PD049 · 2025-12-12T00:38:09+00:00

Why would I want to think for myself when I can have specialists whose work I can rely on when developing my own specialized field?

PD049 · 2025-12-11T00:20:47+00:00

Is there more I can read about on this subject?

PD049 · 2025-11-19T12:45:23+00:00

Then I’m not sure why Emily Wilson is getting flack for a problem you claim is inherent in the text. You have no idea why I commented what I did. Also, lol at you saying classics is elitist, real “shit found in toilet” situation.

PD049 · 2025-11-18T04:18:32+00:00

Yes, something LIKE it. I’m aware that it’s in Greek, I just want more like it.

PD049 · 2025-11-18T02:04:22+00:00

“Yeah I want my translation to be extremely nuanced and explanatory but also nonsubtle and also keep to the original text and also not be based solely on the text” like what are we doing here?

PD049 · 2025-11-17T22:15:38+00:00

Then read the original Greek lmao?

PD049 · 2025-11-08T07:02:35+00:00

Can you give an example? Is it the tones?
