γε,
Doric dialect and Boeotian dialect γα, enclitic Particle, giving emphasis to the word or words which it follows.
I with single words, at least, at any rate, but often only to be rendered by italics in writing, or emphasis in pronunciation: τὸ γὰρ.. σιδήρου γε κράτος ἐστίν such is the power of iron, Refs 8th c.BC+; εἴ που πτωχῶν γε θεοὶ.. εἰσίν if the poor have any gods to care for them,Refs; ὅ γ᾽ ἐνθάδε λεώς at any rate the people here, Refs 5th c.BC+ not even two, Refs 8th c.BC+; οὔκουν φθόγγος γε not the least sound, Refs 5th c.BC+
I.2 with Pronouns: with pronoun of 1st pers. Refs 8th c.BC+; τουτογί, ταυταγί, etc., Refs 8th c.BC+; ὅσον γε χρῄζεις even as much as..,Refs 5th c.BC+: rarely with interrogative Pronouns, τίνα γε.. εἶπας ;Refs 5th c.BC+; ποίου γε τούτου πλήν γ᾽ Ὀδυσσέως ἐρεῖς ; Refs 5th c.BC+
I.3 after Conjunctions, to emphasize the modification or condition introduced by the subjoined clause, πρίν γε, before at least, sometimes repeated, οὐ μὲν.. ὀΐω πρίν γ᾽ ἀποπαύσεσθαι, πρίν γε.. αἵματος ἆσαι Ἀρῆα Refs 8th c.BC+; πρὶν ἄν γε or πρίν γ᾽ ἄν, Refs 5th c.BC+; εἴ γε, ἐάν γε, if that is to say, if really, Refs 5th c.BC+; also simply to lay stress on the condition, κἄν γε μὴ λέγω and if I do not.., Refs 5th c.BC+; εἴπερ γε if at any rate, Refs 5th c.BC+, etc.; ὥστε γε (variant{ὥς γε}), with infinitive, so far at least as to.., Refs 5th c.BC+; ὥς γε or ὥσπερ γε as at least, Refs 5th c.BC+:—γε may follow τε, when τε is closely attached to the preceding word, ὡς οἷόν τέ γε μάλιστα Refs 5th c.BC+
I.4 after other Particles, καὶ μὴν.. γε, οὐ μὴν.. γε, with words intervening, Refs 5th c.BC+; after ἄν in apodosi, when preceded by οὐ or καί, Refs; ἄταρ.. γε but yet, Refs 5th c.BC+; καίτοι γε, see at {καί το; ἀλλά γε} (without intervening words) is falsa lectio in Refs 5th c.BC+; ἀλλά γε δή uncertain in Refs 1st c.AD+
I.5 when preceding other Particles, γε commonly refers to the preceding word, while the Particle retains its own force: but sometimes modifies the sense of the following Particle, γε μήν nevertheless, πάντως γε μήν Refs 5th c.BC+; Epic dialect and Ionic dialect γε μέν Refs 8th c.BC+ frequently strengthens an assertion, Refs 5th c.BC+; γέ τοι, implying that the assertion is the least that one can say, Refs 5th c.BC+; γέ που at all events, any how, Refs 5th c.BC+; for γε οὖν, see at {γοῦν}.
II exercising an influence over the whole clause:
II.1 epexegetic, namely, that is, Διός γε διδόντος that is if God grant it, Refs 8th c.BC+; κλῦθι, Ποσείδαον.., εἰ ἐτεόν γε σός εἰμι if indeed I am really thine, Refs any man—at least any wise man, Refs; frequently preceded by καί, usually with words intervening, ἦ μὴν κελεύσω κἀπιθωΰξω γε πρός ay and besides that.., Refs 4th c.BC+; παρῆσάν τινες καὶ πολλοί γε some, ay and a great many, Refs 5th c.BC+; frequently with the last term in an enumeration, ταύτῃ ἄρα.. πρακτέον καὶ γυμναστέον καὶ ἐδεστέον γε καὶ ποτέον LXX; rarely without intervening words, καί γε ὁ θάνατος διὰ τὴν μοίρην ἔλαχεν NT+5th c.BC+
II.2 in dialogue, in answers where something is added to the statement of the previous speaker, as ἔπεμψέ τίς σοι.. κρέα; Answ. καλῶς γε ποιῶν yes and quite right too, Refs 5th c.BC+; κενὸν τόδ᾽ ἄγγος, ἢ στέγει τι; Answ. σά γ᾽ ἔνδυτα.. yes indeed, your clothes, Refs 5th c.BC+; οὕτω γὰρ ἂν μάλιστα δηχθείη πόσις. Answ. σὺ δ᾽ ἂν γένοιο γ᾽ ἀθλιωτάτη γυνή yes truly, and you.., Refs 5th c.BC+; πάνυ γε yes certainly, Refs 5th c.BC+; οὕτω γέ πως yes somehowso, Refs; sometimes preceded by καί, καὶ οὐδέν γ᾽ ἄτοπον yes and no wonder, Refs; sometimes ironically, εὖ γε κηδεύεις πόλιν Refs 5th c.BC+
II.3 to heighten a contrast or opposition,
II.3.a after conditional clauses, εἰ μὲν δὴ σύ γ᾽.., τῷ κε Ποσειδάων γε.. if you do so, then at all events Poseidon will.., Refs 8th c.BC+ {γέα}; ἐπεὶ πρὸς τοῦτο σιωπᾶν ἥδιόν σοι.. τόδε γε εἰπέ at any rate tell me this, Refs 5th c.BC+
II.3.b in disjunctive sentences to emphasize an alternative, ἤτοι κεῖνόν γε.. δεῖ ἀπόλλυσθαι ἢ σέ.. Refs 8th c.BC+: also in the second clause, εἰπέ μοι, ἠὲ ἑκὼν ὑποδάμνασαι ἤ σέ γε λαοὶ ἐχθαίρουσι Refs 8th c.BC+
II.4 in exclamations, etc., ὥς γε μή ποτ᾽ ὤφελον λαβεῖν uncertain in Refs 5th c.BC+; in oaths, οὔτοι μὰ τὴν Δήμητρά γ᾽ variant in Refs 5th c.BC+; merely in strong assertions, τίς ἂν φιλέοντι μάχοιτ; ἄφρων δὴ κεῖνός γέ.. Refs 8th c.BC+
II.5 implying concession, εἶμί γε well then I will go (in apodosi), Refs 5th c.BC+
III γε frequently repeated in protasis and apodosis, as πρίν γε.., πρίν γε, seeRefs 5th c.BC+; even in the same clause, οὐδέν γ᾽ ἄλλο πλήν γε καρκίνους Refs 5th c.BC+
IV POSITION: γε normally follows the word which it limits; but is frequently placed immediately after the Article, as ὅ γε πόλεμος Refs 5th c.BC+; or the preposition, κατά γε τὸν σὸν λόγον Refs 5th c.BC+; τὸ δέ γεRefs; frequently in retorts, ἁμές ποκ᾽ ἦμες ἄλκιμοι νεανίαι. Answ. ἁμὲς δέ γ᾽ εἰμές Refs; οὐκ οἶδ᾽ ὅτι λέγεις. Answ. ἡ γραῦς δέ γε οἶδ᾽, ὡς ἐγῷμαι Refs 4th c.BC+
