Ïε 2d ÏÏε (νÏ) Ïι (ν) (Ïα)ν 3d νÏαι νÏο [2d, Ïον, 3d, Ïην. Dual. 1st, μεÏον, 2d, ÏÏον, 3d, ÏÏην.] _Notes on the Table of Verb Endings._ § 50. In the Pres. and Fut. the ο of the 1st sing. act. is contracted (with the union-vowel) into Ï, and the Ïαι of the 2d sing. pass. into á¿ or ει. § 51. Signification limits the primary terminations to the Indic. and Subj., and the secondary to the Indic. and Opt.: likewise the Imperf. and Pluperf. to the Indic., and the Imper. to the Pres., the Aorists and (rarely) the Perf. § 52. The _active_ terminations are assumed throughout by the Perf. and Pluperf. mid., and the Aorists pass. § 53. The terminations of the Imper. are analogous to the secondary in the act., and in the mid. and pass. they are merely the same strengthened, thus: _Sing._ 2d,--[Aor. pass, Ïι, 1st Aor. act. (Ï)ov] (pass. ο [1st Aor. mid. ι] or Ïο); 3d, ÏÏ (pass. ÏÏÏ,) _Plur._ 2d, Ïε (pass. ÏÏε); 3d, ÏÏÏαν [or contr. νÏÏν] (pass, ÏÏÏÏαν. [_Dual._ 2d, Ïον (ÏÏον); 3d, ÏÏν (ÏÏÏν,)] § 54. The Infin. in the act. forms ends in εν, [contr., with union-vowel into ειν] (Pres., Fut., and 2d Aor.,) αι, (1st Aor.,) or ναι, (Perf. act. and mid. and both Aor. pass.;) elsewhere in |
