e.g. ταῦτα fr. τα-υ-τα:
Dor. gen. sg. fem. τούτας Philol. 11;

the former occurs Sophr. 24,
GDI 3045
B 6 (

SIG 339.16
(Rhodes, iii B. C.),
etc., the latter is dub. in Sophr. 97,
certain in SIG 241

(iii B. C.);
acc. sg. fem. οὕταν Corinn. Supp. 2.80;
acc. pl. neut. οὗτα SIG 1185.20

SIG 283.19
(Chios, iv B. C.), 46.7
(Halic., v B. C.),
al.—In Att. οὗτος was freq. strengthd. by the demonstr. -ί, οὑτοσί, αὑτηί, τουτί,
gen. τουτουί,
dat. τουτῳί,
acc. τουτονί;
pl. nom. οὑτοιί,
neut. ταυτί,
etc., this man here:
sts. a Particle is inserted between the Pron. and -ί,
as αὑτηγί for αὑτηί γε,
Ar. Ach. 784;
τουτογί for τουτί γε,
Id. V. 781,
Av. 894,
al.; ταυταγί for ταυτί γε,
Id. Eq. 492,
Pax 1057,
al.; τουτοδί for τουτὶ δέ,
Id. Pl. 227;
τουτουμενί for τουτουὶ μέν,
Id. Ra. 965.—In codd. the ν ἐφελκυστικόν is sts. added in the forms οὑτοσίν, οὑτωσίν,
and οὑτοσίν is said to be Att. by A.D. Pron. 59.24,
82.11.
[This ι is always long, and a long vowel or diphthong before it becomes short, as αὑτη˘ί, τουτω˘ί, οὑτοῐί,
Ar. Nu. 201,
Pl. 44,
Ach. 40,
etc.] 4. when the Noun with which οὗτος agrees stands as its Predicate, αὕτη γὰρ ἦν σοι πρόφασις S. Ph. 1034;
δικαστοῦ αὕτη ἀρετή [ἐστι]
Pl. Ap. 18a:
this exception extends to cases in which the Predicate is not so distinctly separated from the Subject, αἰτίαι μὲν αὗται προυγεγένηντο these were the grievances which already existed, Th. 1.66;
ταύτην φήμην παρέδοσαν this was the report which . . ,
Pl. Phlb. 16c:
freq. with a Sup.,
κίνησις αὕτη μεγίστη δὴ . . ἐγένετο this was notably the greatest movement which . . ,
Th. 1.1,
cf. 3.113:
with πρῶτος Id. 1.55,
98,
6.31,
Ev.Luc. 2.2.
I. this,
to designate the nearer,
opp. ἐκεῖνος,
that, the more remote,
ταῦτα, like τὰ ἐνταῦθα, things round and about us, earthly things,
Pl. Phd. 75e (v. l.); cf. ὅδε init.: but οὗτος sts. indicates that which is not really nearest, but most important, δεῖ . . τὸ βέλτιστον ἀεί, μὴ τὸ ῥᾷστον λέγειν:
ἐπὶ ἐκεῖνο μὲν γὰρ ἡ φύσις αὐτὴ βαδιεῖται, ἐπὶ τοῦτο δὲ κτλ.
D. 8.72,
cf. 51.3 and 18.
2. when, of two things, one precedes and the other follows, ὅδε prop. refers to what follows, οὗτος to what precedes, οὐκ ἔστι σοι ταῦτʼ, ἀλλά σοι τάδʼ ἔστι S. OC 787,
cf. ὅδε III.2: freq., however, where there are not two things, οὗτος refers to what follows, Il. 13.377,
Od. 2.306,
etc.; οὔκουν . . τοῦτο γιγνώσκεις, ὅτι . . ;
A. Pr. 379,
etc. 4. in Att. law-language, οὗτος is commonly applied to the opponent,
whether plaintiff (as in Aeschin. 2.130)
or defendant (as in Id. 1.1);
so, in the political speeches of D.,
οὗτοι are the opposite party,
4.1,
8.7,
etc.; but in the forensic speeches, οὗτοι freq. means the judges, the court,
21.134,
36.47.
5. much like an Adv.,
in local sense (cf. ὅδε init.), τίς δʼ οὗτος κατὰ νῆας . . ἔρχεαι;
who art thou here that comest . . ?
Il. 10.82;
freq. in Att.,
τίς οὑτοσί;
whoʼs this here? Ar. Ach. 1048;
πολλὰ ὁρῶ ταῦτα πρόβατα I see many sheep here,
X. An. 3.5.9 (as v.l.): with Pron. of 2
pers., οὗτος σύ ho you! you there! S. OT 532,
1121,
E. Hec. 1280,
etc.: and then οὗτος alone like a voc., οὗτος, τί ποιεῖς;
A. Supp. 911,cf.S. Aj. 71,
E. Alc. 773,
Ar. Eq. 240,
Nu. 220,
al.: with a pr. n., ὦ οὗτος, Αἴας S. Aj. 89;
ὦ οὗτος οὗτος, Οἰδίπους Id. OC 1627,
cf. Ar. V. 1364:
with voc., βέντισθʼ οὗτος Theoc. 5.76:—the fem. is rarer, αὕτη E. Med. 922;
αὕτη σύ Ar. Th. 610.—This phrase mostly implies anger, impatience, or scorn. 1. ταῦταabs., therefore, that is why . . ,
Il. 11.694;
ταῦτʼ ἄρα Ar. Ach. 90,
Nu. 319,
335,
394,
al., X. Smp. 4.55;
ταῦτα δή A. Pers. 159,
Pl. Smp. 174a;
ταῦτʼ οὖν S. Tr. 550,
Ar. V. 1358,
etc.; αὐτὰ ταῦτα ἥκω, ἵνα . .
Pl. Prt. 310e:
τοῦτο is rare in this sense, τοῦτʼ ἀφικόμην, ὅπως . . εὖ πράξαιμί τι S. OT 1005;
αὐτὸ γὰρ τοῦτο just because of this,
Pl. Smp. 204a.
b. πρὸς ταῦτα so then, therefore,
prop. used in indignant defiance, A. Pr. 992,
1043,
S. Aj. 971,
1115,
1313,
OT 426,
OC 455,
etc. 2. καὶ ταῦτα,
adding a circumstance heightening the force of what has been said, and that,
ἄνδρα γενναῖον θανεῖν, καὶ ταῦτα πρὸς γυναικός A. Eu. 627:
but mostly with a part.,
ὅς γʼ ἐξέλυσας ἄστυ . . , καὶ ταῦθʼ ὑφʼ ἡμῶν οὐδὲν ἐξειδὼς πλέον S. OT 37,
cf. Ar. Ra. 704,
Pl. Phdr. 241e,
etc.; or with a part. omitted, ἥτις . . τὴν τεκοῦσαν ὕβρισεν, καὶ ταῦτα τηλικοῦτος (sc. οὖσα)
S. El. 614;
so καὶ ταῦτα μέντοι Pl. Erx. 400b.
3. τοῦτο μέν . . , τοῦτο δέ . .
on the one hand . . , on the other . . , partly . . , partly . . ,
very freq. in Hdt.,
as 1.161,
al.; τοῦτο μέν is sts. answered by δέ only, 4.76,
S. Aj. 670,
OC 440;
by δὲ αὖ,
Hdt. 7.176;
by ἔπειτα δέ,
S. Ant. 61;
by ἀλλά,
D. 22.13;
by εἶτα,
S. Ph. 1345;
by τοῦτʼ αὖθις,
Id. Ant. 165.
c. in this way, thus,
A. Pr. 191,
S. OC 1300,
etc.; οὐ . . ταῦτʼ ἐστί πω ταύτῃ Ar. Eq. 843;
ἀλλʼ οὔτι ταύτῃ ταῦτα E. Med. 365,
cf. A. Pr. 511:
antec. to ὥσπερ,
Pl. R. 330c;
to ὅπῃ,
X. Cyr. 8.3.2;
οὕτω τε καὶ ταύτῃ γίγνοιτο Pl. Lg. 681d;
καὶ οὕτω καὶ ταύτῃ ἂν ἔχοι ib.714d;
ταύτῃ καλεῖσθαι, etc., like οὕτω κ., Sch.Pl. Smp. 215b.
