δεικνὺς

[Helikwps]

Question please about δεικνὺς as it's used in the following passage from Lucian's "A True Story" (book 2, sect 27)

ὁ δὲ ἔφασκεν ἀφίξεσθαι μὲν εἰς τὴν πατρίδα πολλὰ πρότερον πλανηθέντα καὶ κινδυνεύσαντα, τὸν δὲ χρόνον οὐκέτι τῆς ἐπανόδου προσθεῖναι ἠθέλησεν: ἀλλὰ δὴ καὶ δεικνὺς τὰς πλησίον νήσους—ἐφαίνοντο δὲ πέντε τὸν ἀριθμόν, ἄλλη δὲ ἕκτη πόρρωθεν — ...

The commentary lists δεικνὺς as a perfect participle of deiknumi, while Perseus says it's aorist. But I can't seem to get from verb to participle using either stem, even with vowel contraction. Am I doing it wrong or is formation of the participle just irregular, and which tense is it? Thanks very much for any help,
Tim

From what I understand, this is a present participle. The 1st person sing. forms of δείκνυμι for the aorist and perfect are: ἔδειξα, δέδειχα.

Thanks much for this Noeticus and pster. Sorry I misread the Perseus listing, but having this paradigm on hand for future reference is a big help, and greatly appreciated.
