In general, the noun hippoi/hippō as elliptic plural/dual means not ‘horses’ but ‘chariot’ when this noun functions as a grammatical object in the genitive (G) or dative (D) or accusative (A) case in combination with prepositions or preverbs referring to such situations as standing on the platform of a chariot (epi+G, epi+D) or leaping down from the platform (apo+G, kata+G) or leaping up onto the platform (epi+G, eis+A) or getting knocked off and falling down from the platform (ek+G, kata+G). What follows is a list showing these occurrences of the word hippoi/hippō with the elliptic meaning of ‘chariot’ but not showing other occurrences where the ellipsis is canceled by way of correlating this word with other words like harma and diphros, both of which have the non-elliptic meaning of ‘chariot’. Here, then, are occurrences showing only hippoi/hippō with the elliptic meaning of ‘chariot’ and without an explicit mention of harma ‘chariot’ or diphros ‘chariot’: I.03.265 (ek+G), I.04.500 (para+G), I.05.013 (apo+G/D), I.05.019 (apo+G), I.05.046 (epi+G), I.05.111 (kata+G), I.05.163 (ek+G), I.05.227 (apo+G), I.05.249 (epi+G), I.05.255 (epi+G), I.05.321 (epi+A), I.05.328 (epi+G), I.05.835 (apo+G), I.06.232 (kata+G), I.07.013 (epi+G), I.07.015 (ek+G), I.07.240 (epi+G), I.08.127 (epi+G), I.08.492 (ek+apo+G), I.10.330 (epi+D), I.10.513 (epi+G), I.10.529 (epi+G), I.11.094 (ek+G), I.11.109 (ek+G), I.11.143 (apo+G), I.11.179 (ek+G), I.11.192 (eis+A), I.11.207 (eis+A), I.11.320 (apo+G), I.11.423 (kata+G), I.12.082 (epi+G), I.14.435 (ek+G), I.15.386 (apo+G), I.15.447 (kata+A), I.16.343 (epi+G), I.16.733 (apo+G), I.16.749 (ek+G), I.16.755 (apo+G), I.17.460 (epi+D), I.17.40 (apo+G), I.17.501 (epi+A), I.18.531 (epi+G), I.19.396 (epi+G/D), I.20.401 (kata+G), I.20.461 (ek+G), I.24.051 (ek+G), I.24.356 (epi+G), I.24.459 (ek+G), I.24.469 (ek+G). These elliptic usages compensate, in part, for the fact that the Mycenaean word for ‘chariot’, hikkʷiā (spelled i-qi-ja in the Linear B tablets), is missing in Homeric diction, where it would be pronounced *hippiā. The metrical shape of such a form, long-short-long, would be incompatible with the rhythmical contour of the dactylic hexameter, which generally does not tolerate forms that have such a shape. But the survival of elliptic plural/dual hippoi/hippō is not necessarily a substitution for the missing *hippiā, nor is it justified to assume that such elliptic forms represent some kind of deformity in Homeric diction.
