The verb ἀναφαίνω, here meaning 'I bring to light' or 'I promulgate' (specifically of laws or divine ordinances), is a hapax legomenon in this specific compound sense within Aristophanic comedy. While the simple φαίνω is common, the compound with the prefix ἀνα- in the sense of making laws 'appear' or 'come forth' into public view is rare in the comic corpus and reflects a specific legal-religious register that Aristophanes is parodying or adopting for the bird-chorus's legislative authority. The construction with νόμους as the direct object and ἱεροὺς as an attributive adjective emphasizing the sacred nature of these newly revealed statutes is syntactically straightforward but semantically charged, marking a shift from the birds' previous role as mere creatures to that of divine lawgivers.
