Notes Appendix:Greek verbs |
1. Past tense forms are rare: the formal 3rd persons are more common. The formal endings with -ην are very formal, as in the ancient aorist ἐπενέβην from the conjugation of ἐπεμβαίνω. In Modern Greek, used in the 3rd persons (all persons included here, for reference). • (…) optional or informal. […] rare. {…} learned, archaic. • Multiple forms are shown in order of reducing frequency. • Periphrastic imperative forms may be produced using the subjunctive. | |||
