Human-approved: Kanastron: a cape of Thrace and Macedonia. The ethnonym is 'Kanastraios', but Sophokles has 'Kanastraion' in his commentary on *The Argonautika*, saying it is 'a cape of Pallene'.

Ἡσίοδος “εἰ γάρ τοι καὶ χρῆμ´ ἐγκώμιον ἄλλο γένοιτο”. καὶ κωμαῖος καὶ κωμήτης ἀρσενικῶς καὶ θηλυκῶς διὰ τοῦ « ι ». καὶ ὁ δῆμος κώμη. εἴρηται ἀπὸ τοῦ ἐν αὐταῖς κοιμᾶσθαί τε καὶ αὐλίζεσθαι. λέγεται καὶ κωμήτωρ.

Hesiod: ‘For even if some other need should arise for you in the village.’ Also 'komaios', and 'kometes' in the masculine and 'kometis' in the feminine, with ι. A deme too is a 'kome'.

Human-approved: Kome: along long routes they established halfway points for the purpose of sleeping when night fell, after which they are now named, as per Philoxenos. An inhabitant is an 'enkomios'. Hesiod: 'For if some matter were to arise for you as an enkomios'. And also a 'komaios', and 'kometes' in the masculine, which in the feminine is written with ι. A deme is also a kome, named after the practice of taking shelter and sleeping there. 'Kometor' is also said.

Greek: Καπετώλιον, ἐν Ῥώμῃ λόφος Ταρπαῖος πάλαι λεγόμενος. περὶ δὲ τῆς γραφῆς τοῦ τεμενικοῦ ὁ Εὐδαίμων διὰ τοῦ « ι » φησίν “Εἰρηναῖος προπαροξύνει διὰ τοῦ « ι » γράφων”. Ἡρωδιανὸς δὲ Καπετωλίειον ἐν ἓξ συλλαβαῖς, καὶ ἐν συναιρέσει Καπετώλειον. τὸ δὲ Καπετωλεῖα ἐπὶ τοῦ ἀγῶνος προπερισπᾶται. ὅσα γὰρ ἔχει προϋπάρχοντα εἰς « ος » καθαρόν, παραληγόμενα ἢ μόνῳ τῷ « ι » ἢ προηγουμένου αὐτοῦ τοῦ « α » ὥστε εἶναι πρὸ τέλους τὴν « αι » δίφθογγον, προπερισπᾶται, ἢ καὶ ὅσα κτητικά. Ἀσκληπιεῖον, Ἀσκληπιός γάρ· Πτολεμαεῖον, Πτολεμαῖος γάρ· Ὀλυμπιεῖα τὰ Ἀθήνησιν, Ὀλύμπιος γάρ. τὸ δὲ τέμενος Καπετώλιον καὶ Καπετώλιος Ζεὺς διὰ τοῦ « ι ». τὸ ἐθνικὸν Καπετωλῖνος.

gpt-5.6-sol v3: Kapetolion: a hill in Rome formerly called Tarpeios. On the spelling of the sanctuary name, Eudaimon says that it is written with ι: ‘Eirenaios accents it with an acute on the antepenult, writing it with ι.’ Herodianos gives Καπετωλίειον in six syllables, and, with vowel contraction, Καπετώλειον. Καπετωλεῖα, when it refers to the contest, is accented with a circumflex on the penult. For all forms that have an underlying form ending in pure -os and have in the penult either ι alone or ι preceded by α, so that the diphthong αι stands before the final syllable, are accented with a circumflex on the penult, as are possessive forms: ‘Asklepieion’, since the underlying form is ‘Asklepios’; ‘Ptolemaeion’, since it is ‘Ptolemaios’; the ‘Olympieia’ at Athens, since it is ‘Olympios’. The sanctuary is ‘Kapetolion’, and Zeus Kapetolios is written with ι. The ethnonym is ‘Kapetolinos’.

Human-approved: Kapetolion: in Rome, a hill that was long ago called 'Tarpaios'. Regarding the spelling of the sanctuary name, Eudaimon says that it is with ι: 'Eirenaios accents it with acute on the antepenult and writes it with ι.' Herodian has 'Kapetolieion' with six syllables, and 'Kapetolion' with contraction. The form 'Kapetoleia', referring to the games, is accented with circumflex on the penult. This is because forms whose base already ends in postvocalic -ος—when either a single ι is in the penultimate position or α precedes it so that the diphthong αι stands before the ultima—will be accented with a circumflex on the penult, and the same applies to possessive forms. Asklepieion (Ἀσκληπιεῖον) is thus from 'Asklepios' (Ἀσκληπιός); Ptolemaeion (Πτολεμαεῖον) is thus from 'Ptolemaios' (Πτολεμαῖος); Olympieia (Ὀλυμπιεῖα), the one at Athens, is thus from 'Olympios' (Ὀλύμπιος). The sanctuary, however, is 'Kapetolion' (Καπετώλιον), and 'Zeus Kapetolios' (Καπετώλιος), with ι. The ethnonym is 'Kapetolinos'.
