@Angr, Erutuon, JohnC5: would anyone know why the upsilon is long, or at least said to be by the LSJ? --Barytonesis (talk) 10:44, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

@Barytonesis: It scans long at Odyssey 19:135: οὔ¯τε˘ τι˘ | κη¯ρύ¯|κω¯ν, οἳ¯ | δη¯μι˘ο˘|ε¯ργοὶ˘ ἔ˘|α¯σι¯ν. Or did you mean etymologically? —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 11:08, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

Thanks. I'm also interested in the etymological explanation, but above all I wanted to make sure LSJ had a reason for its macron. --Barytonesis (talk) 12:20, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
