Quote:Sorry Inyigo but stole means either decoration or uniform.
And it is used in modern Greek.
Kind regards
Yes, agree, but I think in classical this is a context meaning for the most generic "equipment" (from the basic meaning of the root Stello: "set (in order), arrange". For example, the lion "uniform" of Herakles is called by Euripides "stolé therós" (beast's garment).
P-T as you remarked, is tipical of greek dialects and is related to other indoeuropean languages: greek tis/pis is latin quis (sanskrit chi-).
