The form ἁνὴρ is a distinctive Doric contraction of ὁ ἀνήρ (from *ἁν-ήρ*), preserving the initial aspirate where Attic would have the smooth breathing. While Aristophanes frequently employs Doricisms for comic effect or to characterize rustic speakers (as in the *Acharnians* chorus), this specific metrical and dialectal form here underscores the speaker's rustic identity and the play's focus on the Acharnian farmers. The verb καρπώσεται, a future middle of καρπώ, is also significant; in this context, it functions as a technical agricultural metaphor meaning 'to reap the fruit' or 'to gain the harvest' of the council's decision, implying that the speaker (Dicaeopolis) will personally appropriate the consequences or benefits of the political maneuver.
