[30] κεκλήγοντες. In the history of this participle we may trace (1) an original (i.e. pre-Homeric) “κεκληγότες”, the plur. of (Homeric) “κεκληγώς”; (2) a metaplastic “κεκλήγοντες” of the thematic conjugation, probably the only Homeric form of the plural; and (3) “κεκληγῶτες”, a corruption due on the one hand to “κεκληγώς”, and on the other to such plurals as “ἑστεῶτες, τεθνεῶτες”, and the like. The metaplastic pf. part. in “-ων, -οντος” is Aeolic; but whether “κεκλήγοντες” in Homer has come from the Aeolic dialect is a different question. See H. G. App. F.
