Morphology Attic tends to replace the -ter "doer of" suffix with -tes: dikastes for dikaster "judge". The Attic adjectival ending -eios and corresponding noun ending, both having two syllables with the diphthong ei, stand in place of ēios, with three syllables, in other dialects: politeia, Cretan politēia, "constitution", both from politewia whose w is dropped.
