[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Proto-Hellenic [Term?], derived from Proto-Indo-European *h₂entí; equivalent to ἀντίος (antíos) or ἀντί (antí) + -άω (-áō). Compare Old Armenian անցանեմ (ancʻanem).[1]
Verb

Usage notes
[edit]In the present, Homer uses ἀντιόω (antióō). The sense of “to share” occurs in Iliad 1.31, in the euphemistic ἐμὸν λέχος ἀντιόωσαν (emòn lékhos antióōsan), literally “meeting me in bed”.
