Greek (Liddell-Scott)

αἴ: ἐπιφώνημα θαυμασμοῦ ἢ ἀγανακτήσεως, = ἆ ! Ἡρωδιαν. παρ’ Ἀρκαδ. 183. 20, Ἰωανν. Ἀλεξ. τονικὰ παραγγέλμ. 32, 25, ὅστις ἀναφέρει ὡς παράδειγμα τὸ αἲ τάλαν, ἐκ τοῦ Πλούτ. τοῦ Ἀριστοφ. 706. ΙΙ. αἶ (περισπώμενον) ἐπιφώνημα θλίψεως, = ἄχ ! Λατ. vae μόνον ἐν χρήσει ἐν τῷ δισυλλάβῳ αἰαῖ, (ὡς μανθάνομεν παρὰ τοῦ Ἡρωδιαν. Περὶ μον. λέξ. 27. 13.), οὐχὶ κατὰ διαίρεσιν αἶ αἶ ἢ αἴ αἴ (ὡς ἐν τοῖς χειρογρ.), ἀλλὰ καθ’ ἕνωσιν, ὡς ἀνωτέρω. Εἶναι συχν. παρὰ Τραγ. αἰαῖ τόλμας, Εὐρ. Ἱππ. 814· καὶ κατ’ ἐπανάληψιν, αἰαῖ αἰαῖ μελέων ἔργων, Αἰσχύλ. Χο. 1007, πρβλ. Πέρσ. 1039: συχνάκις δὲ τίθεται ἐν τῷ στίχῳ μετὰ χασμωδίας, οἷον, αἰαῖ ἱκνοῦμαι, Σοφ. Ἠλ. 136, πρβλ.

adv.
dans les loc. αἲ γάρ, αἲ γὰρ δή avec l’opt. ou un inf. employé abs. : « plaise ou plût aux dieux que… ! ».

English (Autenrieth)

if, if only, whether; conjunction, used in conditional clauses, and in the expression of a wish; always with κέ, κέν (never ἄν), or γάρ, and never separated from these particles by another particle (εἰ δέ κε, never αἰ δέ κε).—I. conditional, regularly foll. by subj., rarely by opt. (Il. 7.387, Od. 13.389). Here belongs the so-called ‘interrogative’ use, as πειρήσομαι αἴ κε τύχωμι, Il. 5.279.—II. optative, to express a wish, ‘would that,’ αἲ γάρ, or αἲ γὰρ δή w. opt., generally referring to fut. time, but sometimes of an unfulfilled wish in pres. time (Il. 7.132); foll. by inf., Od. 7.311, Od. 24.376.
