ὅδε, ἥδε, τόδε,
demonstrative pronoun, this, formed by adding the enclitic -δε to the old demonstrative pronoun ὁ, ἡ, τό, and declined like it through all cases: Epic dialect dative plural τοῖσδεσσι, τοῖσδεσσιν, as well as τοῖσδε, [Refs 8th c.BC+]: Aeolic dialect genitive plural τῶνδεων [Refs 7th c.BC+]; ταδή [Refs 5th c.BC+] —ὅδε, like{οὗτος}, is opposed to ἐκεῖνος, to designate what is nearer as opposed to to what is more remote; but ὅδε refers more distinctly to what is present, to what can be seen or pointed out, though this distinction is sometimes not observed, e.g. ξύμπας Ἀχαιῶν λαός, ἐν δὲ τοῖσδ᾽ ἐγώ [Refs 5th c.BC+];— τοῦτον, ὅνπερ εἰσορᾷς [ὅδε by the adversative δέ, as τὸν μὲν.., τηνδεδί 5th-6th c.BC: Aristophanes Comicus “Aves” 18, compare “Ec.” 989.
