in Compos., when added to words already signifying something bad, it increases this property, as in κακο-πινής· but added to words signifying something good, it implies too little of this property, as in κακό-δοξος. Once or twice it stands merely as an adj. agreeing with the Subst. with which it is compounded, as Κακοΐλιος for κακὴ Ἴλιος, κακόνυμφος for κακὸς νυμφίος.
