this is straight from chicago homer, searching all verbs which appear in the iliad 44 times or more:

Under 30 minutes response time (and in the middle of the night at that)? That's insane (but awesome)!chad Posted: Fri Oct 07, 2005 2:19 am wrote:1-100 in order of frequency:

I am home from work now and I looked in my library and found
"[size=150]οί κάταλογοι τῶν ἐπῶν τῶν ὁμηρείων[/size] Homeric Vocabularies ;owen and goodspeed with a forward by Clyde Pharr ; from the Univeresity of Oklahoma Press
not only does it have the verbs but it has noun, pronouns, adverbs, prep's, etc..

This list further supports my view that the -μι verbs should be introduced within the first, say, 10 lessons of any Greek textbook, not saved for last.chad wrote:this is straight from chicago homer, searching all verbs which appear in the iliad 44 times or more:

I don't think that they are that much more complex but they are different than the ones that are taught earlier in the books.
Teaching them at the end is probably done in an effort to minimize information overload.
I can understand William's sentiment but by pushing mi verbs ahead you are shoving something else back.
Everything can't be taught at once.
One reason I like Mounce's primer is that it holds of teaching verbs untill the noun system has been taught.
Others dislike it for the same reason.
I remember parsing a verb like e)/luon as acc. sg. masc. (That was after using mounce's system.) I can imagine totaly mixing things up if nouns and verbs were taught at the same time.

Then something really obscure should be shoved to the back.Bert wrote:I don't think that they are that much more complex but they are different than the ones that are taught earlier in the books.

My reasoning is that things that happen a lot should get a lot of practice. Several of the athematic verbs are very common, and often eccentric in their various parts. More practice in common but tricky things seems more valuable.

Mounce waits untill the very end before getting into mi verbs.
But then, there are only 10 mi verbs that occur 50 times or more in the whole New Testament. In a basic grammar like his, there are not really any obscure things that could be shoved back. He could have added 15 chapters or so to get into things more obscure.
(I sometimes feel the need to defend his book because it worked so well for me.)
