I, first-person pronoun (emphatic/special forms; variant entry for G3165)
This entry duplicates G3165, representing additional forms or textual occurrences of the first-person pronoun ἐγώ. The strengthened form ἔγωγε ('I at least,' 'for my part') appears more frequently in Attic than in Homer. Dialectal variants include Doric ἐγώνγα and Boeotian ἱώνγα. The oblique cases continue to derive from a separate root: genitive ἐμοῦ (enclitic μου), with Ionic and Epic preserving older forms like ἐμέο and ἐμέθεν.
