The seemingly archaic <b class="b3">πλέες</b>, <b class="b3">πλίες</b> (s. on them Schwyzer 537 n. 6 w. rich lit.) are best taken as innovations to <b class="b3">πλέον</b>, pl. <b class="b3">πλέα</b> (Leumann Mus. Helv. 2, 1f. = Kl. Schr. 214f.). Unclear Att. <b class="b3">πλεῖν</b> = <b class="b3">πλέον</b> and Arc. <b class="b3">πλος</b> (<b class="b3">πλως</b>?) [[plus]], s. Schwyzer l.c. (also n. 1) and Leumann l.c. The sporadic attestations with <b class="b3">η</b>, e.g. <b class="b3">πλῆον</b> (Milete a.e.), <b class="b3">Πλήστ-αρχος</b> (Tegea) can hardly be interpreted as testimonies of older situations (s. Seiler l.c.). -- A corresponding comp. gives Av. <b class="b2">frāyah-</b> [[more]], [[much]], [[many]], Skt. adv. <b class="b2">prāyaḥ</b>. As the superlative originally had zero grade and a zero grade form. has been supposed in Av. [[fraēštǝm]] [[mostly]], OWNo. [[fleistr]] [[most]] (with comp. [[fleiri]]), but it has full grade, IE <b class="b2">*pleh₁-isto-</b>? The stem <b class="b3">πλη-</b> is best seen in [[πίμπλημι]] (s. v.); on the positive [[πολύς]] s. v. -- Details in the above mentioned lit. and in WP. 2, 65 (Pok. 798), W.-Hofmann s.
