Pharr section 165 line 6

[Bert]

I don't know why I keep having questions doing a review, I should have it all figured out by now...(just kidding.)
I can't figure out the form of [face=SPIonic]e)da/mhsan[/face][face=Arial][/face] If it is a aorist it would have been [face=SPIonic]e)da/masan[/face] would it not? So what is it?
Thanks

[Paul]

Hi Bert,

It looks like an aorist in the passive voice. "The Achaeans were crushed ..."

Cordially,

Paul

Yes, it is. We find Indicative [face=SPIonic]e)da/mhn, e)da/mh [/face], Infinitive [face=SPIonic]damh=nai...[/face]

Thanks. I thought I had eliminated that possibility because aorist passive is listed as [face=SPIonic]e)dama/sqhn[/face] so that would make the 3rd person pl [face=Arial][/face][face=SPIonic]e)damasqhsan[/face].
Is [face=Arial][/face][face=SPIonic]e)da/mhsan[/face] just an alternate form?
Maybe I'll have to break down and get a Homeric vocabulary quide.

Yep. One I personally have been unable to find in Pharr, which is annoying.

Cunliffe devotes a bit more than a full column to [face=spionic]dama/zw[/face], about half of which is a listing of various forms.
