[face=spionic] akouomen ------ akousomeqa
filei -------- filh
bow -------- bohsomai
nika? --------- nikhsei [/face]
My original answers were: [face=spionic]
akousomen
fiei
bosw
nica? [/face]
Now I don't understand why any of the above have changed the way they have. These were all part of a text exercise, and I got all 4 horribly wrong. Are they just irregular or is there some pattern I'm missing?
Furthermore, the book I'm working from states that some futures require "An -[face=spionic]ew [/face] suffix, after a stem different from that of the present, e.g. [face=spionic]
diafqeirw ----- diafqerw [/face] -[face=spionic]ew
nomizw ------ nomiw -[/face][face=spionic]ew[/face]
Now again I can't understand why the two above examples have changed as they have. Surely changing to an -[face=spionic]ew [/face] suffix would simply mean the verbs now end in:
[face=spionic]ew
eis
ei
oumen
oute
ousin
[/face]
Any help regarding the above would be greatly appreciated. I fear that it may just be the case that I will have to learn each verb as it comes, and that there is no pattern to speak of

Apologies in advance if I've made any mistakes in writing up the Greek
