__C.IV Phrases: ἀνὰ κράτος up to the full strength, i. e. vigorously, ἀνὰ κράτος φεύγειν, ἀπομάχεσθαι, [[ 5th-6th c.BC: Xenophon Historicus “Institutio Cyri (Cyropaedia)” 4.2.30, 5.3.12] Refs 5th c.BC+]; ἀνὰ τὸν αὐτὸν λόγον and ἀνὰ λόγον proportionately, [[ 5th-6th c.BC: Plato Philosophus “Phaedo” 110d; especially in math. sense, [prev. author] “Ti.” 37a, 4th c.BC: Aristoteles Philosophus “Analytica Posteriora” 85a38, etc.] Refs 5th c.BC+]; ἀνὰ μέσον in the midst, [[ 4th c.BC: Antiphanes Comicus 13, 4th-3rd c.BC: Menander Comicus 531.19; ἀνὰ μέρος ] Refs 4th c.BC+]by turns, [[ 4th c.BC: Aristoteles Philosophus “Politica” 1287n17. ] Refs 4th c.BC+]

__E WITHOUT CASE as adverb, thereupon, [[ 8th c.BC: Homerus Epicus ] Refs 8th c.BC+] and other Poets:— and with the notion of spreading all over a space, throughout, all over, μέλανες δ᾽ ἀνὰ βότρυες ἦσαν all over there were clusters, [[ 8th c.BC: Ilias Homerus Epicus “Illiad” 18.562, compare 8th c.BC: Odyssea Homerus Epicus “Odyssey” 24.343:] Refs 8th c.BC+] —but ἀνά often looks like an adverb in [[ 8th c.BC: Homerus Epicus ] Refs 8th c.BC+], where really it is only parted from its Verb by tmesis, ἀνὰ δ᾽ ἔσχετ; ἀνὰ δ᾽ ὦρτο (for ἀνῶρτο δέ); ἀνὰ τεύχε᾽ ἀείρας (for τεύχεα ἀναείρας), etc.
__F IN COMPOSITION (joined with other words),
__F.1 as in C. 1, up to, upwards, up, opposed to κατά, as ἀνα-βαίνω, -βλέπω, ἀν-αιρέω, -ίστημι: poetry sometimes doubled, ἀν᾽ ὀρσοθύρην ἀναβαίνειν[[ 8th c.BC: Odyssea Homerus Epicus “Odyssey” 22.132. ] Refs 8th c.BC+]
__F.2 hence flows the sense of increase or strengthening, as in ἀνακρίν; though it cannot always be translated, as in Homer's ἀνείρομαι:—in this case opposed to ὑπό.
__F.3 from the notion throughout (E), comes that of repetition and improvement, as in ἀνα-βλαστάνω, -βιόω, -γεννάω.
__F.4 the notion of back, backwards, in ἀναχωρέω, ἀνανεύω, etc., seems to come from such phrases as ἀνὰ ῥόον up, i. e. against, the stream.
__G ἄνα, written with anastrophe as adverb, up! arise! ἀλλ᾽ ἄνα[[ 8th c.BC: Ilias Homerus Epicus “Illiad” 6.331, 8th c.BC: Odyssea Homerus Epicus “Odyssey” 18.13] Refs 8th c.BC+]:—in this sense the ultima is never elided;[[compare ἀλλ᾽ ἄνα, εἰ μέμονάς γε 8th c.BC: Ilias Homerus Epicus “Illiad” 9.247; ἀλλ᾽ ἄνα ἐξ ἑδράνων 5th c.BC: Sophocles Tragicus “Ajax” 194. ] Refs 8th c.BC+]
__G.2 apocopation ἄν after ὤρνυτο, ὦρτο, and up stood.. arose, [[ 8th c.BC: Ilias Homerus Epicus “Illiad” 3.268, 23.837, etc. ] Refs 8th c.BC+]
__G.3 when used as preposition ἀνά never suffers anastrophe.
