Lesson XII - Lets review what weve learnt

Post by Tertius Robertus »

robertus omnibus salutem dicit (what is the greek for this?)

and so he ordered to review the forms...

1 Are the three verb forms a safeguide to all other forms? or shall i truly have to master those rules, those long rules full of exceptions?

2 of the verb ?νδάνω the form ἔαδον (page 61 of the pdf) is for the imperfect given, however in lesson 10 (page 58 of the pdf) the form ἥνδανε, :roll: which one is the true?

3 why is ου behaving as a diphtong in the declensions, ie, forbidin' the ^ to appear as in νο?σους, if it sounds as a vowel.

4 as the dative masculine of ἑκεῖνος ?κεῖνῳ is given, whereas it should be ?κείνῳ by the rules, is this a ortographical mistake or it falls into the exceptions :roll: (page 307 of the pdf)

5 the prepostions ἀνά ?ς ?ν have, like others, alternate forms ἀν εἰς ?νί, but unlike others, it is not told how they are to occur -.- when then?

***

6 how do i travel through the pdf without having to scroll for minutes (ya, there are the booknmarks, but they dont link to all the sections in the book, how can i do my own bookmarks)

vale! (what is the greek for this?)

A number of verbs have something called a second aorist, which uses the imperfect (secondary) endings instead of the characteristic alpha. I don't know that it's entirely predictable when this is happens -- often I think it's when the aorist uses a stem which is shorter than the present (as some verbs in nu, for example).
IPHIGENIE: Kann uns zum Vaterland die Fremde werden?
ARKAS: Und dir ist fremd das Vaterland geworden.
IPHIGENIE: Das ist's, warum mein blutend Herz nicht heilt.
(Goethe, Iphigenie auf Tauris)

D'oh! Yes, both of them.
