There are rules of elision at work here. KATA when followed by a vowel
will loose the final A. If the following word (attached or not) has a
rough breathing such as EU[, The T changes to a Q thus KAQEU-. The
imperfect is found with the improper augment EKAQEU- and also with no
augment KAQEUDON. As for the NU, there are a number of verbs like the verb
root DEIK that sometimes take NU in the first principal part with either MI verb
endings or W/MAI endings. These verbs can add NNU, NU, or N + I
(consonantal) (see pp. 165-170, Brooks & Winbery, Morphology) but I was
unaware that this verb did. Off-hand I would say that it never takes NU in
the 1st PP in the New Testament, and my Hatch & Redpath for the LXX is at
the office.
