ἔνι equivalent to
ἔνί, the accent being thrown back, same as
ἐν, used adverbially [Winer's Grammar, § 50, 7 N. 2] for
ἔνεστι,
is in, is among, has place, is present (Homer, Odyssey 21, 218; Thucydides 2, 40):
Galatians 3:28 (three times);
Colossians 3:11;
James 1:17; with addition of
ἐν ὑμῖν,
1 Corinthians 6:5 (where
Rec. ἔστιν); in secular authors from Sophocles and Thucydides on very often,
it can be, is possible, is lawful; [here some would place James, the passage cited]. The opinion of many
[e. g. Fritzsche on Mark, p. 642; Meyer on Galatians, the passage cited; cf. Ellicott ibid.] that
ἔνι is a contracted form for
ἔνεστι is opposed by the like use of
πάρα,
ἄνα, which can hardly be supposed to be contracted from
πάρεστι,
ἄνεστι; cf. Krüger § 9, 11, 4; Winers Grammar, 80 (77);
Göttling, Lehre v. Accent etc., p. 380; [Chandler § 917f; Buttmann, 72 (64);
Lob. Path. Element. 2:315].
