II the neut. τι is used, a collectively, ἦν τι καὶ ἐν ταῖς Συρακούσαις there was a party . ., Th.7.48; so perhaps τῶν ἄλλων οὔ πέρ τι πεφυγμένον ἐστ' Ἀφροδίτην, οὔτε θεῶν, οὔτ' ἀνθρώπων no class, h.Ven.34 (but masc. τις in h.Merc. 143). b euphem. for something bad, v. supr. 3. c joined with Verbs, somewhat, in any degree, at all, ἦ ῥά τί μοι κεχολώσεαι Il.5.421; παρεθάρρυνέ τι αὐτούς X.HG6.4.7, etc.: with Adjs. or Adverbs, οὕτω δή τι ἰσχυραί, οὕτω δή τι πολύγονον, etc., Hdt.3.12, 108, cf. 4.52; so also ὀλίγον τι ἧσσον Od.15.365; οὐδέ τι μᾶλλον Hdt.6.123, etc.; ἧσσόν τι Th.3.75, etc.; οὐ πάνυ τι, πολύ τι, σχεδόν τι, v. πάνυ 1.3, πολύς 111.1a, 2a, σχεδόν IV; also in conjunction with οὐδέν, μηδέν, οὐδέν τι πάντως Hdt.6.3; οὐδέν, μηδέν τι μᾶλλον, E.Alc.522, S.Aj.280; μηδέν τι λίαν E.Andr.1234:—also καί τι καὶ . . ὑποψίᾳ in part also from suspicion, Th.1.107; καί πού τι καί Pi.O.1.28. 12 τίς τε freq. in Hom., ὡς ὅτε τίς τε Il.3.33, 4.141, v. τε B. 13 ἤ τις ἢ οὐδείς few or none, next to none, Hdt.3.140, X.Cyr.7.5.45, D.C.47.5, 48.4; ἤ τι ἢ οὐδέν little or nothing, Pl.Ap.17b; ἢ οὐδεὶς ἤ τις D.C.41.62 (s. v.l.). 14 τις is pleonast. in such phrases as οὐδέν τι or μηδέν τι, v. supr. 11c. b repeated in successive clauses, ὅσα λέγει τις ἢ πράσσειτις ἢψέγειν ἔχει S.Ant.689; εἴ τις δύο ἢ καὶ πλέους τις ἡμέρας λογίζεται Id.Tr.944 (where however κἄτι πλείους is prob. cj.), cf. E.Or.1218 (whereas τις is sometimes omitted in the first clause, οὔτε φωνὴν οὔτε του μορφὴν βροτῶν A.Pr.21, cf. S.Tr.3): but in E.Andr. 734, ἔστι γάρ τις οὐ πρόσω . . πόλις τις, the repetition is pleonastic, as also in A.Supp.57 sq. (lyr., s. v.l.). 15 τις is sometimes omitted, οὐδέ κεν ἔνθα τεόν γε μένος καὶ χεῖρας ὄνοιτο (sc. τις) Il.13.287; ὡς δ' ἐν ὀνείρῳ οὐ δύναται (sc. τις) φεύγοντα διώκειν 22.199, cf. S.OC1226 (lyr.), Leg.Gort.2.2, X.Smp.5.2, Pl.Grg.456d: τις must often be supplied from what goes before, ib.478c, Prt.319d. b sometimes also τις is omitted before a gen. case which must depend upon it, as ἢ [τις] τᾶς ἀσώτου Σισυφιδᾶν γενεᾶς S.Aj.189 (lyr.); ἢν γαμῇ ποτ' αὐτὸς ἢ [τις] τῶν ξυγγενῶν Ar.Nu.1128; ἐν τῶν πόλεων IG12.56.14.--Cf. ὅστις, οὔτις, μήτις, ἄλλο τι. III Accentuation and position of τις: 1 accentuation: τις is normally enclitic, but in certain uses is orthotone, i.e. theoretically oxytone (τίς, τινά, τινές, τινῶν, etc., cf. Choerob. in Theod.1.373 H.) and barytone when followed by another word (τὶς or τις, τινὰ, τινὲς, τινῶν, etc.). According to Sch. D.T.p.240 H. its orthotone accent is τίς (not τὶς) , τίνα, τίνες, etc. The orthotone form is used in codd.: a at the beginning of a sentence, τίς ἔνδον . .; is any one within? A.Ch.654 (τὶς cj. Hermann); τί φημι; = λέγω τι; am I saying anything? S.Tr.865, OT1471; <τίς ἦλθε;> ἦλθέ τις has anybody come? Somebody has come, Sch.D.T. l.c.; τὶς κάθηται, τὶς περιπατεῖ, so and so is sitting (walking), S.E.M.8.97; τὶς αἰπόλος καλούμενος Κομάτας Sch.Theoc.7.78; τίς ποτε οἰκοδεσπότης . . ἐκοπία Aesop. in Gloss. iii p.41; or after a pause, πῶς γὰρ ἄν, ἔφην ἐγώ, ὦ βέλτιστε, τὶς ἀποκρίναιτο Pl.R.337e; τι οὖν (τὶς ἂν εἴποι) ταῦτα λέγεις; D.1.14 (v.l.); ἔντοσθεν δὲ γυνά, τι θεῶν δαίδαλμα Theoc.1.32; οὐ γυμνὸν τὸ φίλαμα, τι δ' ὦ ξένε καὶ πλέον ἑξεῖς Mosch.1.5 (v.l. for τὺ). b when τις is opp. to another τις or to some other word, τισὶ μὲν συμφέρει, τισὶ δ' οὐ συμφέρει Arist.Pol.1284b40, cf. Th.2.92, Pl.Cri.49a, D. 9.2; τινὲς μὲν οὖν... ἡμεῖς δὲ . . Sor.1.1; τὸ τὶ μὲν ψεῦδος ἔχον, τὶ δὲ ἀληθές S.E.M.8.127; ἀλλὰ τινὰ μὲν... τινὰ δὲ . . Gem.14.6; ποτὲ μὲν πρὸς πάντα, ποτὲ δὲ πρὸς τινά Sor.1.48: without such opposition, τοῦτ' εἰς ἀνίαν τοὔπος ἔρχεται τινί for a certain person, S.Aj.1138. Codd. are not consistent; in signf.11.5a, 10c, 13 they make it enclitic; in signf. 11.5b sometimes enclitic, sometimes orthotone (v. supr.); sometimes enclitic and orthotone in the same sentence, πάντα δὲ τὰ γιγνόμενα ὑπό τέ τινος γίγνεται καὶ ἔκ τινος καὶ τί Arist.Metaph.1032a14, cf. Pl.Chrm.165c. 2 position: a τις is rarely first word in the sentence, and rarely follows a pause (v. supr. 111.1a, b); it may stand second word, ἔσκε τις ἐνθάδε μάντις ἀνήρ Od.9.508, cf. Il.8.515, 23.331; but in general its position is not far before or after the word to which it belongs in sense, ἀλλ' ἄγε δή τινα μάντιν ἐρείομεν 1.62; φυλακὴ δέ τις ἔμπεδος ἔστω 8.521. b in Ion. Prose it sometimes stands between its genitive and the Article of that genitive, τῶν τις Περσέων Hdt.1.85; τῶν τις ἱρέων Id.2.38; τῶν τινες Φοινίκων Id.8.90; ἐς τῶν τι ἄλλο στομάτων τοῦ Νείλου Id.2.179; so also in late Prose, Ath.3.108d, Eust.1402.18, 1659.27, 1676.1. c it stands between the Art. and Subst. in signf.11.10b. d τίς τι is the correct order, not τί τις, IG12.110.46, Th.7.10, X.An.4.1.14 (codd. dett.), D.22.22, etc. e whereas in Att. the order ἐάν τις is compulsory, in Dor. the usual order is αἴ τίς κα, Leg.Gort.9.43, al., Tab.Heracl.1.105, al. (but αἴ κά τις Epich.35, 159; αἰ δέ κα μή τις Leg.Gort.5.13): later Dor. εἴ τί κα GDI2101.3, al.; καἴ τι ἂν( = καὶ εἴ τι ἂν) IG5(1).1390.50 (Andania, i B.C., v. infr. B.11.1b):—this Dor. order influenced the Koine, as in the rare εἴ τις ἂν Plu.TG15.
