_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 ω, and the σαι of the 2d
sing. pass. into ῃ 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, ϑι, 1st
Aor. act. (σ)ov] (pass. ο [1st Aor. mid. ι] or σο); 3d, τω
(pass. σϑω,) _Plur._ 2d, τε (pass. σϑε); 3d, τωσαν
[or contr. ντων] (pass, σϑωσαν. [_Dual._ 2d, τον
(σϑον); 3d, των (σϑων,)]

§ 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
