Sort of. But there are many cases where Homeric meter only makes sense if you keep the innovative forms. The /w/ sound if restored to all its etymological positions would disrupt the meter far more than it would contribute to it. Homeric Greek is composed of several layers seperated from each other in time and somewhat in space.
