Fribergs and others tag TAUTA as a nominative. Why? Is it not the
object of the transitive EXEI?
One possible explanation that occurred to me was that EXEI is
intransitive and that TAUTA hOUTWS can be read something like
TAUTA [ESTIN] hOUTWS.
Still, it seems like the simplest way to read it is EXEI transitive
TAUTA as accusative and hOUTWS as a modifier of EXEI. Obviously I
have missed something here. Could some one point it out?
