 since the  of  appears as  in. On the other hand (as if from, on the analogy of , &c.) occurs as  of. The, with ô, , probably in the sense of to rule, has no corresponding , and is perhaps intentionally differentiated from the common verb  (from , ). Or can be a  after  (cf. )? Similarly  might be taken as a case of a jussive after, with irregular scriptio plena (as in ), in , , , , , , ,.
