Usage notes
This form is in the third-person singular imperfect middle indicative. Three forms are listed by Hesychius but do not appear in texts: δέαται (déatai), δεάμην (deámēn), δέασθεν (déasthen).
Some dictionaries invent a first-person singular present form *δέαμαι (*déamai) to use as the lemma.
