652. Verbs in -οω.—a. Hom. always uses the contracted forms except in the case of such as show assimilation like that in -αω verbs.

οο = (1) οω : δηϊόοντο ῀ δηϊόωντο.οοι ῀ οῳ : δηιόοιεν ῀ δηιόῳεν.
(2) ωο : ὑπνόοντας ῀ ὑπνώοντας.οου ῀ οω : ἀρόουσι ῀ ἀρόωσι.

b. Hdt. contracts -οω verbs as in Attic. Forms with ευ for ου, as δικαιεῦσι, ἐδικαίευν, are incorrect.
