6. Initial Diphthongs.
.
The short diphthongs are found as follows in the matter of augment (reduplication):—Αἰ[AI]. normally augmented, except ἐπαισχύνθη[EPAISXUNQH] 2 Ti 1:16אcACDLP al.(WH). The spelling ει[EI] for ῃ[Hi], common in papyri, is found in some MSS of 2 Co 9:7.—Εἰ[EI]. unchanged Gal 2:5εἴξαμεν[EICAMEN], Mk 15:46ἐνείλησεν[EMEO;JSEN], as in Attic.—Οἰ[OI] was augmented ῳ[Wi], except κατοίκησεν[KATOIKHSEN] Mt 4:13D, ἐνοίκησεν[ENOIKHSEN] 2 Ti 1:5D2* 17, οἰκοδομήθη[OIKODOMHQH] Jn 2:20אB*TW 33, ἐποικοδόμησεν[EPOIKODOMHSEN] 1 Co 3:14אAB* al.(ῳ[Wi] B3C). The omission was Attic only when οιpreceded a vowel. It is common in patr. In οἰκοδομέω[OIKODOMEW] WHaccept οἰ[OI]. in Ac 7:47, and gave it as alt. form everywhere exc. Mt 21:33, Lk 4:29. Cf. Logion7 (P Oxy i. 1).—Αὐ[AU]. augmented regularly ηὐ[HU]. in parts of
αὐλέομαι [AULEOMAI], αὐλίζομαι [AULIZOMAI], αὐξάνω[AUCANW], occurring 12 times. Once (Ac 12:24) εὔξανε[EUCANE] in D*, with the identically pronounced ευ[EU] for νυ[NU]: cf. BlassPron.44, who thinks the grammarians chiefly responsible for the maintenance of ηυ[HU].—Εὐ[EU]. without augment usually, as in Attic inscrr. since 300 b.c.: so εὐπορέομαι [EUPOREOMAI], εὐφορέω [EUFOREW], εὐθυδρομέω [EUQUDROMEW], εὐνομχίζω [EUNOMXIZW], εὐλογέω[EULOGEW], (with var.). Εὐφραίνομαι [EUFRAINOMAI], εὐκαιρέω [EUKAIREW], εὐχαριστέω[EUXARISTEW] show ηὐ[HU]. in Ac 2:2617:21, Ro 1:21, εὐ[EU]. elsewhere (oneeach). In εὔχομαι[EUXOMAI] and προσεύχομαι ηὐ[PROSEUXOMAI HU]. is general, with var. occasionally (εὐ[EU]. twice in Ti, Ac 26:29א27:29B*). In the impf. of εὑρίσκω[hEURISKW] WHread
ηὑ[HU]. Mk 14:55, Lk 19:48, Ac 7:11, Heb 11:5with alt. each time, but εὑ[EU]. in the other tenses. In εὐδοκέω[EUDOKEW] they read εὐ[EU]. in the Gospels, noting that ηὐ[HU]. is sometimes well supported: in the Epp. ηὐ[HU]. 5 times, εὐ[EU]. 6. For words with εὐ- [EU-] followed by a vowel see 7 below.

Subject: [B-Greek] Classical HUDOKHSAN to Koine EUDOKHSAN
Can anyone please inform me as to why the classical HUDOKHSAN would become EUDOKHSAN in the NT period? Is EUDOKHSAN somehow still augmented? If not, is the change from HU- to EU- accounted for by their similarity in pronunciation (assuming they were)?
