Comment

Derivational etymology, correct In its principle in so far as κληδήν belongs with καλέω. The interesting point is the derivation: from καλέω Philoxenus derives a monosyllabic verb, which is not unusual, and then from this monosyllabic verb eh proceeds with a "regular" derivation out of the future. However, the future of καλέω is καλέσω: *κλήσω is a ghost form, invented for the sake of the theory.
