Inflection

LSJ lists the following Boeotic forms (forms in () are not (specific) Boetic; forms in {} are from Pape's dictionary):

1. Person (I, we two, we)

Case	Singular	Dual	Plural
Nominative	ἱών	(νῶι)	??
Genitive	ἐμοῦς, also: ἐμῶς, ἐμίο, ἐμίω, ἐμίως	(νῶιν, νῷν)	ἁμίων
Dative	(ἐμοί, enclitic μοι)	(νῶιν, νῷν)	??
Accusative	(ἐμέ, enclitic με)	(νῶι)	??

Plural is similar to the Doric forms (ἁμ- instead of ἡμ-), but ...

2. Person (you, you two, you - that is thou, ye two, ye)

Case	Singular	Dual	Plural
Nominative	τού, also: τούν	(σφῶϊ, σφώ)	οὐμές
Genitive	τεῦς	(σφῶϊν, σφῷν)	οὐμίων {οὐμείων}
Dative	??	(σφῶϊν, σφῷν)	??
Accusative	??	(σφῶϊ, σφώ)	??

3. Person

Case	Singular	Dual	Plural
Nominative	--	(enclitic σφωε)	(σφεῖς &c.)
Genitive	ἑοῦς	(enclitic σφωϊν)
Dative	ἑΐν	(enclitic σφωϊν)
Accusative	(ἕ, enclitic ἑ)	(enclitic σφωε)

Are other Boetic forms attestable (or reconstructible)?

To answer your question, probably, although I can't say for certain: I'd expect probably dative τοι (but spelled also τυ after ~250 BCE, or rarely τει), accusative τε, plural ὑμες, ὑμιων/-ειων/-εων/-ͱων, ὑμιν, ὑμε (spelled also οὑ- after ~350 BCE); first person plural same with ἁ-. What you have already may or may not be the norm; LSJ tends to record unusual forms, and Boeotian is not well attested anyway. In the meantime: while I appreciate your desire to help add inflection (and especially dialectical inflection—goodness knows we need more of that), we're in the middle of rewriting our inflection table code, so if you were to hold off adding tables for now (especially ones that don't make use of templates) I'd be grateful. Thanks! —ObsequiousNewt (εἴρηκα|πεποίηκα) 05:04, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
