metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: It is a well-known fact that tmesis (independent use of the preverb from its verb) as a linguistic
  phenomenon was progressively eliminated from Ancient Greek, so that only residual usage is
  attested in the language of the Classical age. However, one verb, ἀναδραμεῖν, retained tmetic
  usage with the particle τε intervening between the preverb and the verb, ἀνά τε ἔδραμε, until
  late Antiquity (Appian, Eunapius). It is significant that this construction (on par with the non
  tmetic form ἀνέδραμε) was used in prose, which suggests that it was part of actual linguistic
  usus. The article examines the reasons behind the unique longevity of this tmesis. Following
  an overview of the occurrences of ἀνά τε ἔδραμεν in Herodotus, Appian and Eunapius, and
  the comparison of the use of the tmetic and non tmetic forms, the elements of the construction
  are discussed. It is shown that the survival of ἀνά τε ἔδραμεν must have been influenced
  by the semantic development of the verb (the root no longer denotes actual running, but
  springing to one’s feet or rapid growth), as well as the capacity of the preverb ἀνα- to appear
  independently of its verb (the deontic ἄνα). Finally, a possible shift in meaning of τε (as invariable
  part of the expression) is discussed. While it is impossible to pinpoint one single factor
  that determined the singular longevity of the tmesis ἀνά τε ἔδραμε in Greek, a combination of
  factors seems to have contributed to its survival.
