@Angr: Are you sure the alpha of the nominative is long? If yes, do you know if it applies to all neuters in -as, -atos? (τέρας, ἐρυσίπελας, κέρας, κρέας, πέρας) --Barytonesis (talk) 22:44, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

@Barytonesis: No I'm not sure at all. I actually have no idea what led me to believe the second alpha is long. The cites at LSJ all seem to be prose, and mostly late, anyway, so I don't think the vowel length is even knowable. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 08:26, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

And Bailly marks both alphas as short. For some reason, our link to Bailly points to the wrong page; I don't know how to fix it. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 08:32, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

Indeed. I've encountered the same problem on other entries. --Barytonesis (talk) 10:46, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
