Is this correct?

  • LSJ: "Δωδώνη, ἡ, [...] heterocl. forms Δωδῶνος, -ῶνι (as if from Δωδών), [..]: Δωδώνᾱθεν [..]; Δωδώνηθε [..]: a nom. Δωδώ, [..]"
  • DGE: "Δωδώνη -ης, ἡ   Δωδώ, -οῦς [..]; Δωδών, -ῶνος [..]" and in a quote "τὸ ἐν Δωδώνῃ χαλκίον"
  • Logeion corpus examples have Δωδώνης, Δωδώνῃ, Δωδώνην

That looks like it's regular first declension with some additional forms (like 3rd declension (*)Δωδών, Gen. Δωδῶνος, Dat. Δωδῶνι, 3rd declension (like πειθώ) Δωδώ, Gen. (*)Δωδοῦς). -80.133.98.20 01:00, 21 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If the third-declension nominatives are attested, they can have entries, and the third-declension tables can be shown there. Otherwise, I suppose the third-declension tables have to be included in this entry. — Eru·tuon 01:30, 21 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
By the dictionaries, one nom. is attested (Δωδώ) and one isn't (Δωδών). As there is the "attested by an inflected form" argumentation and as wiktionary makes up forms (especially the vocative is often unattested), there could be an entry Δωδών nontheless. (Entry Δωδών with |head=*Δωδών or note "the nom. (and acc. and voc.) is unattested" wouldn't even be misleading.) -80.133.98.20 02:34, 21 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
