orthotonic1885

1885 Amer. Jrnl. Philol. 6 218 In all other positions the verb is orthotonic, i.e. the accent falls on the verb if there is only one prefix.

1972 Classical Q. New Ser. 22 113 The accent of Greek (Ionic-Attic) orthotonic words was mobile with limited freedom of movement, i.e. it could not stand outside a definite zone at the end of the word.

1989 Canad. Jrnl. Linguistics 34 386 My evidence suggests rather an indiscriminate usage of the orthotonic Instr. form and the ambiguous clitic Gen./Instr. form.
