ìç åíäéäåï
Or, speaking to more than one individual, åíäéäïôå, with a smooth breathing on the initial å, and an acute (oxtyone) accent on the é, in both forms.
These are the forms for the present imperative, and imply that the command is to be persistent and sustained. The aorist form (the more usual, and implying a simple command with no nuances of persistence or completion) occurs only in the plural (and rare and obsolescent dual); it is åíäïôå, with a smooth breathing on the inital å, and an oxtonic accent on the ï.
These forms mean literally 'give in, concede, yield', and are more appropriate to an althetic context than the mostly military terms ðñïäéäùìé or ðáñáäéäùìé.
