3. N. Three letters belonging to the primitive Greek alphabet, Vau or Digamma (F), equivalent to V or W, Koppa (9), equivalent to Q, and Sampi (75), a form of Sigma, are nut in the ordinary written alphabet. They were used as numerals (38-4), Vau here having the form C, which is used also as an abbreviation of trr. Vau had not entirely disappeared in pronunciation when the Homeric poems were composed, and the metre of many verses in these is explained only by admitting its presence. Many forms also which seem irregular are explained only on the supposition that f has been omitted (see 269).
4. N. The Athenians of the best period used the names (f for epsilon, ov for omicron, !/ for upsilon, and & for omega; the present names for these letters being late. Some Greek grammarians used i tj/Wiv (plain c) and u fliv (plain u) to distinguish c ami u from ai and oi, which in their time had similar sounds.
VOWELS AND DIPHTHONGS
5. The vowels are a, e, •»?, <, o, w, and v. Of these, e and o are always short; rj and co are always long; a, i, and ii are long in some syllables and short iu others, whence the}' are called doubtful vowels.
6. N. A, c, rj, o, and tu from their pronunciation are called open vowels (a being the most open); i and v are called close vowels.
7 The diphthongs (&i-
8. N. Besides the genuine fi (-(+ 0 and 01/ (= 0 4 v) there are the so-called spunoux diphthongs ec and on, which arise from contraction ((1 from «, and ou from to, oc, or 00) or from compensative lengthening (30); as in ^ro/fi (for tnotce), X/yeiv (for Xeyeen, &05, 4), xpwroCs (for Xp6tr«oO, 0(h (for 8ivrt, 79), toO and tdw (190). In the fourth century B.C. these came to be written like genuine ei and ov ; but in earlier times they were written E and 0, even in inscriptions which used II and (I for c and 0. (See 27.)
9. N. The mark of diaeresis (5m(peais, separation), a double dot, written over a vowel, shows that this does not form a diphthong with the preceding vowel ; as in npoUpai (irpo-i^eu), to go forward, 'ATpctSijs, son of Atreus (in Homer).
10. N. In f, ;;, ifi, the 1 is now ■written and printed below the first vowel, and is called iota subscript. But with capitals it is written in the line; as in THI KQMfilAIAI, rf; «u»hjj!(i, and in 'fiixtro, yx'ro. Thi was written as au ordinary letter as long as it was pronounced,

!7] BREATHINGS.—CONSONANTS. 9
that is, until the first century B.C., after which it was sometimes written (always in the line) and sometimes omitted. Our iota subscript is not older than the twelfth century A.D.
BREATHINGS.
11. Every vowel or diphthong at the beginning of a word has either the rouyh breathing (') or the smooth breathing ('). The rough breathing shows that the vowel is aspirated, i.e. that it is preceded by the sound h; the smooth breathing shows that the vowel is not aspirated. Thus 6pu>v, seeing, is pronounced horon; but opwv, of mountains, is pronounced bron.
12. N. A diphthong takes the breathing, like the accent (109), upon its second vowel. But «, 17, and w (10) have botli breathing and accent on the first vowel, even when the. t is written in the line. Thus o'^trot, ii
13. N. The rough breathing was once denoted by II. When this was taken to denote e (which (nice was not distinguished from «), balf of it } was used fur the. rough breathing; and afterwards the other half I was use.ri for the smooth breathing. From these fragments came the later signs ' and '.
14. N. In Attic words, initial v is always aspirated.
15. At the beginning of a word p is written p; as in pfrwp (Latin rhetor'), orator. In the middle of a word pp is sometimes written pp; as apprjTo*;, unspeakable; Tlvppo<;, Pyrrhua (pp = rrli).
CONSONANTS.
16. The simple consonants are divided into
labials, 7T, ft,
17. Before k, y, ^, or £, gamma (y) had a nasal sound, like that of n in anger or mi, and was represented by n in Latin ; as oyytXoy, (Latin angdus), messenger; ayKvpa, (ancora), anchor;
10 |
10 LETTERS, SYLLABLES, AMD ACCENTS. [18
18. The double consonants are £, j/, £. H is composed of k and
19. By another classification, the consonants are divided into semivowels and mutes.
20. The semivowels are A, p., v, p, and a, with nasal y (17).
Of these . , ,. .,
X, /x, v, and p are liquids;
p., v, and nasal y (17) are nasals;
f of the older alphabet (3) is also a spirant.
21. The mutes are of three orders: —
smooth mutes it k t middle mutes j3 y 8 rough mutes
22. These mutes again correspond in the following classes:— ^.^ )nutes ^.mutes) w p $
palatal mutes («-mutes) k y x lingual mutes (r-mutes) t 8 9
23. N. Mutes of the same order are called co-ordinate; those of the same clans are called cognate.
24. N. The smooth and rough mutes, with c, £, and i^, are called surd (hushed sounds); the other consonants and the vowels are called sonant (xoundiny).
25. The only consonants which can end a Greek word are v, p, and s. If others are left at the end in forming words, they are dropped.
26. N. The only exceptions are «k and ovk (or ovx), which have other forms, i£ and ov. Final $ and i// (k
27. The Greek alphabet above described is the Ionic, used by the Asiatic lonians from a very early period, but first introduced officially at Athens in 403 B.C. The Athenians had previously used an alphabet which had no separate sipis for i, o, ks, or px. In this K was used for « and c and also fnr the spurious a (8); O for 0 and o and for spurious ou(8); H was still an aspirate (A); X2 stood for S, and

Ancient Pronunciation.1
28. 1. (Vowels.) The lung vowels a, 17, 7, and w were pronounced at tlit best period much like a in father, c in /(e (French 5 or e), i in machine, and o in £om. Originally had the sound of Latin u (out u in prune), but before the fourth century B.C. it had come to that of French u or German ■«. The short vowels had the same sounds as the long vowels, but, shortened or less prolonged: this is hard to express in English, as our short a, e, i, and >>, in pan, pen, pit, and pot, have sounds of a different nature from those of d, e, I, and 0, given above. We have an approach to a, e, i, and 0 in the second a in grand-father, French e in rial, i in verity, and 0 in monastic, renovate.
2. {Diphthongs.) We may assume that the diphthongs originally bad the sounds of their two vowels, pronounced as one syllable. Our at iu aisle, cu m feud, oi in oil, ni in qnit, will give some idea of at, iu, 01, and ui; and, ou in house of ou. Likewise the genuine «i must have been pronounced originally as ( + 1, somewhat like c.i in rein (cf. Horn. 'Arpeii5i)f, Attic 'Arpel&Tjs); and oi> was a compound < id="iv.i.p48.1">f 0 and u. But in the majority of cases ei and ok are written tor simple sounds, represented by the Athenians of tin; best period by E and 0 (see H and 27). We. do not know how these sounds were related to ordinary e and 0 on one side and to a and ou on the. other; but after the beginning of the fourth century B.C. they appear to have agreed substantially with a and 01/, since El and OT are written for both alike. In a the sound of 1 appears to have prevailed more and more, so that by the first century B.C. it had the sound of i. On the other hand, ou became (and still remains) a simple sound, like mi in i/imtli.
The diphthongs j, 9, and v were, probably always pronounced with the chief force on the first vowel, so that the 1 gradually disappeared (see 10). The rare v and ui< probably had the sounds of 1? and o> with an additional sound of v.
3. (Consonants) l'robably /S, 4 k, , m, ", r, and p were sounded as I), d, k, I, m, n, p, and r in English. Ordinary 7 was always hard, like g in represents vo, although the older Athenians felt an aspirate in both, as they wrote X" for $ and (per for f. The rough consonants 6, x, and

CHANGES OF VOWELS.
29. (Lengthening.) Short vowels are often lengthened in the formation and the inflection of words. Here the following changes generally take place: —
a becomes rj (d after e, i, or p)
t " -q, X becomes I,
O " W, V " V.
Thus Tl/idu) (stem tI/mi-), fut. tI/xi^-o-o) ; id-u>, fut. ca-a
30. (Compensative Lengthening.) 1. When one or more consonants are dropped for euphony (especially before o-), a preceding short vowel is very often lengthened to make up for the omission. Here
a becomes a, i becomes t,
£ " £1, V " V.
o " ov,
Thus /«'Xa9 for /ncAovs (78), tcrrds for loTavr? (79), ^ti's for (79), Sous for Sorrs, Avovo-t for Xvovrcn, eKplva for ixpivoa, SftKcO? for SeiKiaji/rs (79). Here « and on are the spurious diphthongs («).
2. In the first aorist of liquid verbs (072), a is lengthened to -q (or a) when
.31. (Strong and Weak Forms.) In some formations and inflections there is an interchange in the root of a, ot, and i, — of £u, (sometimes on,) and -u, — and of ij, (rarely and a. The long vowels and diphthongs in such cases are called strong forms, and the short vowels weak forms.
Thus AeiVo), Ae-Aoijr-a, £-At7r-ov;
TijK-io, r(-TrjK-a, t^raK-rjv', fyqy-wpx, tp-pa>y-a, (p-pa.y-t)v eXcv-cro/xal
(74), c'A-7;Aou^-a, tfXvOov (see (p^OfMi); so o-rrtvS-ui, hasten, and
'ottouS-^, haste; dp^yu), help, and apwyos, helping. Compare English
smite, smote, smit (srnitten). (See 572.)
32. An interchange of the short vowels 5, e, and o takes place in certain forms; as in the tenses of Tpcn-w, TtVpo^-a, i-rp&ir-rjv, and in the noun TpoV-os, from stem rp«r-. (See 643, 645, and 831.)

88] EUPHONY OF VOWELS.— CONTRACTION. 13
33. (Exchange of Quantity.) An exchange of quantity sometimes takes place between a long vowel and a succeeding short one; as in epic vrio's, temple, and Attic vtuii ; epic fla
EUPHONY OF VOWELS.
Collision of Vowels. — Hiatus.
34. A succession of two vowel sounds, not forming a diphthong, was generally displeasing to the Athenians. In the middle of a word this could be avoided by contraction (35-41). Between two words, where it is called hiatus, it could be avoided by crasis (42-46), by elision (48-54) or aphaeresis (55), or by adding a movable consonant (5G-C3) to the former word.
Contraction op Vowels.
35. Two successive vowels, or a vowel and a diphthong, may be united by contraction in a single long vowel or a diphthong;
36. The regular use of contraction is one of the characteristics of the Attic dialect. It follows these general principles: —
37. I. Two vowels which can form a diphthong (7) simply unite in one syllable; as rtCxi-'i, rtiyti; yipa-'i, yipai.;
38. II. When the two vowels cannot form a diphthong, —
1. Two like vowels (i.e. two a-sounds, two e-sounds, or two o-sounds, without regard to quantity) unite to form the common long (a, rj, or a>). But « gives a (8), and oo gives ov (8). E.g.
Mvaa, fiva (184);
14 |
14 LETTERS, SYLLABLES, AND ACCENTS. [39
2. When an o-sound precedes or follows an a- or an e-sound, the two become
j Tlfxuifuv; — but voc, you; •ytVtos,
3. When an a-sound precedes or follows an e-sound, the first (in order) prevails, and we have a or 77. E.g.
'E-ri'/xae, «t£/xu; tIimlt]tc, tI/xStc ; Tti'^ea, TiixV > 'E/)/xf'ds, Ep/ajt.
4. A vowel disappears by absorption before a diphthong beginning with the same vowel, and c is always absorbed before ot. In other cases, a simple vowel followed by a diphthong is contracted with the first vowel of the diphthong; and a following i remains as iota subscript, but a following v disappears. E.g.
Mratti, /ivcu; fivaa, fi.va
39. Exceptions. 1. In contracts of the first and second declensions, every short vowel before a, or before a long vowel or a diphthong, is absorbed. But in the singular of the first declension ea is contracted regularly to rj (after a vowel or fi, to a). (See 181.)
2. In the third declension ea becomes a after t, and u or 77 after ioru. (See 22y, 267, and 315.)
3. In the second person singular of the passive and middle, cat (for to-cu) gives the common Attic form in « as well as the regular contract form in 17; as itai, Xiy or Avi«. (See 5C5, 0.)
4. In verbs in oco, o« gives ot, as StjAocis, S77A01S; 01 is found also in the subjunctive for otj, as St/Ao^, S77A01.
5. The spurious diphthong cake. Thus infinitives in auv and oav lose 1 in the contracted forms; as rifuxciv, Ti/xav; SijAdtiv, 877A01V. (See 701.)
40. J. The close vowel 1 is contracted with a following t in the Ionic dative singular of nouns in is (see 255) ; and v is contracted with 1 or { in a few forms of nouns in u? (see "257 and 258).
2. In some classes of nouns and adjectives of the tliird declension, contraction is confined to certain cases; see 220-203. For exceptions in the contraction of verbs, see 406 and 497. See dialectic forms of verbs in aw, eu>, and oa, in 784-780.

42. A vowel or diphthong at the end of a word may be contracted with one at the beginning of thp. following word. This occurs especially in poetry, and is nailed crasis (k/dSo-i;, mixture). The coronis (') is placed over the contracted syllable. The first of the two words is generally an article, a. relative (o or a), Km', Tj-po, or
16 |
16 LETTERS, SYLLABLES, AND ACCENTS. [43
43. Crasis generally follows the laws of contraction, with these modifications: —
1. A diphthong at the end of the first word drops its last vowel before crasis takes place.
2. The article loses its final vowel or diphthong in crasis before a; the particle toC drops oi before a; and W drops at before all vowels and diphthongs except t and «. But we have k(1 and kcJs for ko.1 « and k
44. The following are examples of crasis: —
To ovofM, TovvOfjxi; ra ayaOd, rayadd; to ivavriov, roivavriov; 6 (x, owe; 6 iiri, ovvl; to ifMTiov, ^oyiaTiov (lM) ; a av, av; «at av, k&v; Kiu. lira, kutu; — 6 avrjp, Svi?p; oi aS(X
45. N. If the first, word is an article or relative witli the rough breathing, this bre.itlii ig- is retained on the contracted syllable, taking the place of lli« coronis; as in S.v, avrjp-
46. Nr. In crasis, tripos, other, takes tin; form arcpo?,— whence oVrepos (for 6 tTtpos), 6a.Ttpov (for row hepov), 6s.Ti.pto,etc. (43,2; 93).
Synizksir.
47. 1. In poetry, two successive vowels, not. forming a diplithong, are sonietimps united in pronunciation for the sake of the metre, although no contraction appears in writing. This is called synizexis (u-vv%t)
2. Synizesis may also take the place of crasis (42), when the first word cuds in a Ions vowi-1 nr a
Elision.
48. A short final vowel may be dropped when the next word begins with a vowel. This is called elision. An apostrophe (') marks the omission. E.g.
17 |
ELISION AND APHAERESIS. 17
At' f'/W" for &a t/iou; avr (kcivt)'; for an-l txaVjjs ; At'-yoi/i* av for Xiyoifii av; aAX* ei#Js for aXXa ti#u's ; or' avdpunrta for €7ri av9pu>n
4:9. Elision is especially frequent in ordinary prepositions, conjunctions, and adverbs; but it may also be used with short vowels at the end of nouns, adjectives, pronouns, and verbs.
60. Klision never occurs in
(a) the prepositions ntpt and irpo, except irtpiwi Aeolic (rarely before i in Attic),
(b) the conjunction on,
(c) monosyllables, except those ending in «,
(d) the dative singular in i of the third declension and the dative plural in
(«) words ending in v.
51. N. The epie and comic poets sometimes elide cu in the verbal endings fun, out, t
52. N. Klision is often neglected in prose, especially by certain writers (as Thucydides). Others (as Isocrates) are more strict in its use.
53. (Apocope.) The poets sometimes cut off a short vowel before a consonant. Thus in Homer we find fiv, k&t, and wip, for avd, koto, and irapri. Both in composition and alone, tar assimilates its t to a following consonant and drops it before two consonants, and v in dc is subject to the changes of 78; as «(i(3/3aXc and Ka.Kra.ve, for xar^aXt and KcnVKTafc, —but KaT$avuv for KaraSafuu ((18, 1), /tax Kopv(f>-f)v, Karf ydvUi Kair ntdlov; dM-^ttXXw, dX-X^^at, d/x rrfdiov, dfi
54. A short final vowel is generally elided also when it comes before a vowel in fov:nhi£ a compound word. Here no apostrophe is used. E.g.
'An-aiT(h) (euro and atWw). Si-t'/iaAov (Sid and ifjaXov). So a
Al'IfAKIlKSIS.
55. In poetry, a short vowel at the beginning of a word is sometimes dropped after a long vowel or a diphthong, especially after py, not, and rj. or. This is called aphneresix (ajtaiptcris, inking off). Thus, fir) 'yw for ^ iya>; irov'aTiv for ttov to;

59. N". The epic kc (for dv) is generally kw liefore a vowel, and the poc;tic vvv (enclitic) has an epic form vv. Many adverbs in -Ocv (as Trp6cr6tv) have poetic forms in -&(..
60. N. N movable may be added at the end of a sentence or of a line of poetry. It may be added even before a consonant in poetry, to make position (99).
61. N. Words which may have? movable are not elided in prose, except «
62. Ov, not, becomes ovk before a smooth vowel, and oi^ before a rough vowel; as ov 6iw, ov< cu'to'?, oi>x ovtos. My inserts k in /mtjk-c'ti, no longer, by the analogy of owc-m.
63. Outo)?, thus, l£ (cks), from, and some other words may drop s beiore a consonant; as outws c^ti, ovto> Soku, e^dortws, Ik woXtu)?.
METATHESIS AND SYNCOPE.
64. 1. Metathesis is the transposition of a short vowel and a liquid in a word; as in Kparos and xapTos, strength; Odpvos and Opdvos, courage.
2. The vowel is often lengthened; as in /H-fik-q-Ka (from stem /3aA-), Te-T/xrj-Ka (from sleni rtfx-). 6pu>-
• 65. Syncope is the dropping of a short vowel between two consonants; as in 7raTfpo?, 7rarpo? (274); irTricrojxai for TTCTrjcro/xai (050).

forms; as Trpirroi for Trpaa-aw, eXirrav for ia
for tfaAcura-a. Also rr (not for era-) and even tO occur in'a few other words; as 'Attikos, 'Arfe, *4Wi'c. See also 72.
69. Initial p is doubled when a vowel precedes it in forming a compound word; as in avappiirru) (avd and pnrrw). So after the syllabic augment; as in cppZu-rov(imperfect of pur-no). But after a diphthong it remains single; as in ivpoo':, ivpovs.

70. The following rules (71-95)apply chiefly to changes made in the h'nal consonant of astern in adding the endings, especially in forming and inflecting the tenses of verbs and cases of nouns, and to those made in forming compounds: —
71. (Mutes before other Mutes.) Before a r-inute (22), a w-inut.e. or a x-niute is made coordinate (23), and another T-mute becomes a. E.g.
TfTplirrai (for TtrpZ/2-Tcu), St'Stxrai (for SeSex-rai), •n-Af^^Jvai (for TrX(K.-di)vai.), i(L

73. N. No combinations of different mutes, except those included in 63 and in 71 (those in which the second is t, 8, or 0), are allowed in Greek. When any such arise, the first mute is dropped; as in ircVctica (for ir«m0-Ku). When y stands before k, y, or %, as in

89. In the first aorist active and middle of liquid verbs, a is generally dropped before a or ap-qv; as
90. (/■.) Some of the cases in which the omission of vau (or digamma) appears in inflections are these: —
1. In the augment of certain verbs ; as 2 aor. tl&ov, saw, from root fi8- (Lat. vid-co), for l-pi&ov, i-iSov, elSov: see also the examples in 539.
2. In verbs in ew of the Second Glass (574), where, ev became cp and finally t; as pt'-cj, flow (stem ptv-, ptf-), fut. pev-cro-/Mii. See also 601.
3. In certain nouns of the third declension, where final v of the stem becomes f, which is dropped; as vaCs (vav-), gen. vdos for vdv-os, va/r-os (260) ; see /JuoaAtus (205). See also 256.
81. The Aeolic and Doric retained p long after it disappeared in Ionic and Attic. The following are a few of the many words in which its former presence is known : —

flovs, ox (Lat. bov-is), tap, spring (Lat. ver), o?os, divine (divus), Ipyov, work (Germ, tverk),
92. (Changes in Aspirates.) When a smooth mute (ir, k, t) is brought before a rough vowel (either by elision or in forming a compound), it is itself made rough. E.g.
'h
93. X. So in crasis (see examples in 44). Here the rough breat.hiiig may affect even a consonant not immediately preceding it; as in
94. N. The Ionic generally does not observe this principle in ■writing, but lias (for example) inr' oJ, amrj/u (from ajro and ir)fu).
95. The Greeks generally avoided two rough consonants in successive syllables. Thus
1. In reduplications (521) an initial rough mute is always made smooth. E.g.
ll(
2. The ending 8i of the first aorist imperative passive becomes n after Or)- of the tense stem (757,1). E.g.

SYLLABLES.
96. A Greek word has as many syllables as it has separate vowels or diphthongs. The syllable next to the last is called the penult (paen-ultima, almost last); the one before the penult is called the antepenult.
97. The following rules, based on ancient tradition, are now generally observed in dividing syllables at the end of a line: —
1. Single consonants, combinations of consonants which can begin a word (which may be seen from the Lexicon), and mutes followed by p. or i/, are placed at the beginning of a syllable. Other combinations of consonants are divided. Thus, e-X"*' <-y«i id="iv.i.p379.1">, 1-criri-pa, vt'-KTap, a-K/xrj, ot-crp.6<;, /u-iepov, Trpu-y/ttj-TOS, irpaa-aui, i.-irk, tv-Sor, up/«L-Ta.
2. Compound words are divided into their original parts; but when the final vowel of a preposition has been elided in composition, the compound is sometimes divided like a simple word: thus irpocr-a-yw (from irpos and ayu>); but ira-pa-yu or wa.p-a.yui (from irapo. and ayia).
Qi:antitv or Svr.i.Aiir.ES.
98. A syllable is long by nature (<£iW<) when it has a l«ng vowel or a diphthong; as in tZ/xt;, kt€lpu>.
99. 1. A syllable is long by position (0e'
2. The length of the vowel itself is not affected by position. Thus a was sounded as long in irpacro-u), 7rpay/xa, and 7rpa£n, but as short in racrcra), rdy/jM, and Ta$is.
!i. One or both of the consonants which malic position may Vie in the next word; thus the second syllable in oJ-rck
100. When a vowel short by nature is followed by a mute and a liquid, the syllable is common (i.e. it may be either long or short) ; as in reicvov, vttvos, v/3pi<;. But in Attic poetry such a syllable is generally short; in other poetry it is generally long.
25 |
106] QUANTITY OF SYLLABLES. —ACCENT. 25
101. N. A middle mute (ft, y, S) before p or v, and generally before A, lengthens a preceding vowel; as in dyi/ws, fti.fiX.iov, Sdy/Aa.
102. N. To allow a preceding vowel to be short, the mute and tbe liquid must be in the same word, or in the same part of a compound. Thus t in e« is long when a liquid follows, either in composition or in the next word; as ixXiyw, eV vctov (both__w__).
103. The quantity of most syllables can be seen at once. Thus r) and co and all diphthongs are long by nafcuro ; t and o are short by nature. (See 5.)
104. When a, t, and v are not long by position, their quantity must generally be learned by observing the usage of poets or from the Lexicon. But it is to be remembered that
1. Every vowel arising from contraction or eras is is long; as a ill yt'pa (for ycfjaa), ukuiv (for dt'xw), and xdi' (for Kal di').
2. The endings a? and us are long when v or vr has been dropped before o- (79).
3. The accent often shows the quantity of its own vowel, or of vowels in following syllables.
Thus the circumflex on Kvlcra, savor, shows that i is long and a is short; the acute on x^P"' ''""A shows that a is long; on tiWs; who? that i is short; the acute on ftacnXui, khu/dmn, shows that the final a is long, on ftuviXaa, qucun, that h'nal a is short. (See 10(5, 3; 111; 112.)
105. The quantity of the terminations of nouns and verbs will be stated below in the proper places.

106. 1. There are three accents,
the acute ('), as 709, auTtk,
the grave ('), as avrhs e
the circumflex (" or ~), as toOto, rl^wv.
2. The acute can stand only on one of the last three syllables of a word, the circumflex only on one of the last two, and the grave only on the last.
3. The circumflex can stand only on a syllable long by nature.

26 LETTERS, SYLLABLES, AND ACCENTS. [107
107. 1. The Greek accent was not simply a stress accent (like ours), but it raised the musical pitch or tone (to^oj) of the syllable on which it fell. This appears in the terms t^oi and irpooydla, which designated the accent, and also inci^t, sharp, and jSaptn, grave, flat, which described it. (See 111), 1 and 3.) As the language declined, the musical accent gradually changed to a stress accent, which is now its only represen ■ tative in Greek as in other languages.
2. The marks of accent wen: invented by Aristophanes of JSyzau-tiuin, an Alexandrian scholar, about 200 B.C., in order to teach foreigners the correct accent in pruuuuiicing Greek. By the ancient theory every syllable not having either the acute or the circumflex was said to have the grave; accent; and the circumflex, originally formed thus " ^, was said to result from the union of an acute and a following grave.
108. N. The grave accent is written only in place of tin; acute in the case mentioned in 115, 1, and occasionally on the indefinite pronoun rh, rl (418).
109. N. The accent (like the breathing) stands on the second vowel of a diphthong (12); as in alpui, /xovaa, tovs airrow- But in the improper diphthongs (a, y, w) it stands on the first vowel even when the t is written in the line; as in Ti/xrJ, ci7rXu), riii (uj),'$}i£u
110. 1. A word is called oxytone (o£u'-roi>o?, sharp-toned) when it has the acute on the last syllable, as paroxytone, when it has the acute on the penult, as propar oxytone, when it lias the acute on the antepenult, as /3aai.X.tvovTO<:.
2. A word is called perispomenon {-Kipia^w^tvov) when it has the circumflex on the last syllable, as ikSitv; properix-pomenon, when it has the circumflex on the penult, as /xowa.
3. A word is called barytone (ftapv-Tovo<;, grave or flat-toned) when its last syllable has no accent (107, 2). Of course, all paroxytoues, proparoxytones, and properispo-mena are at the same time barytones.
4. When a word throws its accent as far back as possible (111), it is said to have recessive accent. This is especially ttie case with verbs (J30). (Sec; 122.).
111. The antepenult, if accented, takes the acute. Hut it can have no accent if the hist syllable is long by nature or ends in f or -^; a.s Tree/cu, avdpamov, -wpo^vXa^.
112. An accented penult is circuinfiexed when it is long by nature while the last syllable is short by nature;
27 |
117J PRINCIPLES OF ACCENT. 27
as fifjov, vrjaos, r)i%. Otherwise it takes the acute; as Xuyo<;, tovtcov.
113. N. Final at and oi are counted as short in determining the accent; as avdpunroi, vffcroL'. except in the optative, and in o'koi, at Aowie; as Ti/iijtrut, iroirjaoi (not Tifurjcrai or ttoi'tjctoi) .
114. N. Genitives in «ws and ewe from nouns in it and us of the third declension ("251), all cases of nouns and adjectives in us and w» of the. Attic second declension (108), and the Ionic genitive in em of the first (188,3), allow the acute on the antepenult; as evyeus, iri us, Tii/iew (1'ots). So some compound adjectives in ws; as tyt-ncpus, hii/h-horned. For the acute of uairep, oi'Se, etc., sec 146.
115. 1. An oxytonc changes its acute to the grave before other words in the same sentence; as tov<; irovq-poi"; avdprnnovs; (for tov<; irovrjpovs av&pcoTrovt;).
2. Tliis change is not made before enclitics (143) nor before an elided syllable (IS), nor in the interrogative rk, ri (418). It is not made before a colon: before a comma modern usage differs, and the tradition is uncertain.
116. {Anastrojrfie.) Dissyllabic prepositions (regularly oxytono.) throw the accent back ou the penult in two cases. Tins is called anustrophe (aVaorpo^jj, turning back). It occurs
1. When such a preposition follows its case; as in Toxnwnipi (for Trcpl tovtwv), about these.
This occurs in prose only with 7re.pi, but in the poets with all the dissyllabic prepositions except ava, 8td, d/x<£t', and avri In Homer it occurs also when a preposition follows a verb from which it is separated by tnwsis; as oAfVa9 ano, having destroyed.
2. When a preposition stands for itself compounded with early; as Trapa for trapcoTiv, ivi for ivcoriv {ivC being poetic for
Accent or Contracted Syllables and Elided Wokds.
117. A contracted syllable is accented if either of the original syllables had an accent. A contracted penult or antepenult is accented regularly (111; 112). A contracted final syllable is circumflexed; but if the original word was oxytone, the acute is retained. E.g.
Tifxutfxevo^ from t^uclo/acvos, <£i«u"£ from <^ id="iv.i.p428.1">iAc£t£,
28 |
28 LETTERS, SYLLABLES, AND ACCENTS. [118
This proceeds from the ancient principle that the circumflex comes from ' + ' (107, 2), never from * + '; so that ti/wioj gives ti/wo, but $e/3aws gives ficjiux;.
118. N. If neither of the original syllables had an accent, the contracted form is accented without regard to the contraction; as Ttjtta for rifi/xt, ivvoi for ivvool.
Some exceptions to the rule of 117 will be noticed under the declensions. (See 203; 311.)
119. In crasis, the accent of the first word is lost and that of the second remains; as rayaOd for to ayaOd, i-yuSa for iyu> olSa, Kara for teal cha; -rdAAa for to. aAAa; rapa for toi apa.
120. In elision, oxytone prepositions and conjunctions lose their accent with the elided vowel; other oxytones throw th« accent back to the penult, but without changing the acute to the grave (115, 1). E.g.
'Ett' airu) for r]fu iyo), KOK twrj for Ka«a iw7].
ACCENT OF NOUNS AND ADJECTIVES.
121. 1. The place of the accent in the nominative singular of a noun (and the nominative singular masculine of au adjective) must generally be learned by observation. The other forms accent the same syllable, as this nominative, if the last syllable permits (111); otherwise the following syllable. E.g.
aXdcKrm, 6daa
K0paK(<;, KopaKuiv', irpayna, irpay/iaTOi, vpay/xajiav; ooovs,
68oCcrii/. So ^aputs, ^apuao-a, xapUv, gen. apUvroi, etc.; a£ios, Aftd, a^iov, a^ioi, d£iai, a£ux.
2. The kind of accent is determined as usual (111; 112); as v^cro?, vyaov, vrjerov, t^crot, vqcoK. (See also 123; 124.)
122. N. The following nouns and adjectives have recessive accent
(110,4): —
(o) Contracted compound adjectives in oot (203, 2): (*) Tbe neuter singular and vocative singular of adjectives in uv, ov (except those in
(c) Many barytone compounds in ys in all forms; as airipKift, aurapMS, gen. pi. auripKuv; 0iXaXij07)s, ^iXdXijSts (but i ]6-fis, dXjjWj); this includes vocatives like Zciicparts, AijM<5

(d) The vocative of^ syncopated nouns in rip (273), of compound proper names in w, as ' Aya/icum?, hirbiu&ov (except AaKtSaltutv), and of 'AiriXXwv, lloauSCbv (Horn. Moaa.id.uiv), ou-r-fip, saviour, and (Horn.)
, brother-in-law,—voc. 'AiroXXoi', Wbatibov (How. Uoacl&aov),
p, iaep (see 221, 2).
123. The last syllable of the genitive and dative of oxy-toues of the first and second declensions is circumflexed. E.g.
TifH-iji, rlflrj, Tl/Miy, TlfAfJJV, TlfUUi ', 6lOV, 8e, OtSlV, dtOlS-
124. In the first declension, wof the genitive plural (for iuiv) is circumflexed (170). But the feminine of adjectives and participles in 05 is spelt and accented like the masculine and neuter. E.g.
Aikwv, $o£C>v (from Slktj, Sofa), ttoXItuiv (from TroXtrrjs); but aiiu>v, yop.lvu>v (fern. gen. j.ilur. of aitot, Ktyofitvos, 302). For the genilive plural of other adjectives and participles, see 318.
125. N. The genitive and dative of the Attic second declension (198) are exceptions; as yews, gen. vcu>, dat. v«£.
126. N. Three nouns of the first declension are paroxytone in the genitive plural: acj>vr), anchovy, a
127. Most monosyllables of the third declension accent the last syllable in the genitive and dative of all numbers: here oiv and ow are circumflexed. E.g.
©1J9, servant, OqTOs, 6t)t{, OrjTolv, 6tjt£>v, OrjaC.
128. N. Aa's, torch, 8/iok, slave, ous, ear, irais, child, Tpuis, Tmjan, <^ios, light, and a few others, violate the last rule in the genitive dual and plural; so iras, all, in both genitive and dative plural: as irais, TraiSos, 7rai8t, Trawl, but iraiSuiv; ?ras, Travros, iravrl, iravriav, Tract.
129. N. The interrogative ti's, tiVos, tIvl, etc., always accents the first syllable. So do all monosyllabic participles; as Zv, ekros, ovtl, ovtwv, oroi; /?cU, 3

1. The second aorist active infinitive in uv ami the second aorist middle imperative in ov are perispomena: as Aa/Jtiv, (X6dv, Xxwiiv, XiTToC, Aa/Jov. For compounds like ko.to.-0ov, see 133, 3.
2. These second aorist imperatives active are oxytone: tlirt, iX.de, tvp(, XafJt. So ISc in the sense behold! But their compounds are regular; as air-a-rc.
3. Many contracted optatives ot the /ii-inflection regularly circumflex the penult; as uttcuto, 8t8oi
4. The following forms accent the penult: Uw first aorist active infinitive, the second aorist middle infinitive (except Trpiacrdai and ovacrOun, 798), the perfect middle and passive infinitive anil participle, and all infinitives in vfitv (except those in /urai). Thus, fiovXivaai, ycviaOcu, XtXvaOai, AeAv/ieVos, toravat, otoovai, fvKivai, So/xev and Bofitvat (both epic for Sovvai).
5. The following participles are oxytone: the second aorist active; and all of the third declension in -9, except the first aorist active. Thus, lwu>v, Aura's, SiSou's, bciKvis, X(.vku>'s, icttus (pres.); but Xuo-ds and
So w, present participle of cl/jx, go.
132. Compound verbs have recessive accent like simple verbs; as CTwei/^i (from

1. The accent cannot go further back than the augment or reduplication ; as Trap-iix°v O10' Tap«xoi'), / provided, irap-rjv (not irdprjv), he was present, a
So -vhen the augment falls on a long vowel or a diphthong which is not changed by it; as vir-tiKt (imperfect), he was yielding; but vir-tixc (imperative), yield !
2. Compounds of So?, ??, 8U, and o-^'j arc paroxytone; as d7ro8o9, iropdo^cs (not aTroSos, etc.).
3. Monosyllabic second aorist middle imperatives in -ov have recessive accent when compounded with a dissyllabic preposition; as ko.to.-6ov, put down, diro-Sov, sell: otlierwi.se they circumflex the ov (131, 1) ; as ty-Oov, p'ti in.
134. N. Participles in their inflection are accented as adjectives (121), not as verbs. Thus, flovXtvwv has in the neuter fiovXtvov (not fiovXivov)
135. For the accent of optatives in at and ot, see 113. Some other exceptions to 130 occur, especially in poetic forms.

PROCLITICS.

137. The proclitics are the articles 6,17,01, at; the prepositions as («s), i£ («*), iv; the conjunctions ei and w? (so uSs used as a preposition); and the negative oi (oIk, olx).

For a proclitic before an enclitic, see 143, 4.
139. N. When 6 is used for the relative os, it is accented (as in OH. 2, '202); and many editors accent all articles when they are demonstrative, as 11. 1, !>, 5 yap fiaaiXrjt. okiod(.k, and write o ftiv ... o 8«, and cfi /jiv ... oi 8«, even in Attic Greek.
ENCLITICS.
140. An enclitic (eyh-Xtyoj, lean upon) is a word which loses its own accent, and is pronounced as if it were part of the preceding word; as avdpumoCri (like himinisque in Latin).
141. The enclitics are: —
1. The personal pronouns /xov, /aoi, /xe'; aov,
To these are added the dialectic and poetic fa1 'ns, ft.iv, ato,
2. The indefinite pronoun tis, ti, in all its forms (except otto.) ; also the indefinite adverbs nov, ,to6{, irrj, -noC, iro6iv, ttotI, jTu, mus- These must be distinguished from the interrogate ves Ttf, TTOV, v66l, nfj, Troi, TroBeV, 7TVTC, 7r5>, 7TU)S.
3. The present indicative of ei/u, be, and of
32 |
32 LETTERS, SYLLABLES, AND ACCENTS. [142
4. The particles ye, ri, roi, vip: the inseparable -St in o8t, Tou'crSt, etc. (not he, but); and -6c and -^t in cldi and (146). So also the poetic vw (not vw), and the epic (kcV), ftfi', and pa.
142. The enclitic always loses its accent, except a dissyllabic enclitic after a paroxytone (143, 2). See examples in 143.
143. The word before the enclitic alwaj'S retains its own accent, and it never changes a final acute to the grave (115,2).
1. If this word is proparoxytone or properispomenon, it receives from the enclitic an acute on the last syllable as a
Second accent. Thus av8pu>TT0<; ns, avdpunroi Tivis, &ii$6v f).oi, iraiSt's rives, outos io~Tiv.
2. If it is paroxytone, it receives no additional accent (to avoid two acutes on successive syllables). Here a dissyllabic enclitic keeps its accent (to avoid three successive unaccented syllables). Thus, Ao'yos tis (not Ao'yos tn), Aoyot
k (not Aoyoi Tivts), Aoycov rivu>v, ovtw
y)
3. If its last syllable is accented, it remains unchanged; as Tt/wi t« (115, 2), tIjjmv yc, cto^os ns,
4. A proclitic before an enclitic receives an acute; as tl
T19, t'
144. Enclitics retain their accent whenever special emphasis falls upon them: this occurs
1. When they begin a sentence or clause; or when pronouns express antith esis, as ov rapa tpoialv dAAa
Jighl then not wui Trojans but with you, S. Ph. 1253.
2. When tht preceding syllable is elided; as iu 7ro'XA.' ccrnV (120) for 5roXa t -tlv.
3. The personal pronouns generally retain their accent after an accented preposition: here i/xov, i/ijoi, aud e/xi are used (except in irpos fie).
4. The personal pronouns of the third person are not enclitic when they are direct reflexives (988) ; o
5. 'Eoti at the beginning of a sentence, and when it signifies existence or possibility, becomes tori; so after ovk, firj, ti, the adverb

16OJ DIALECTIC CHANCES. —PUNCTUATION. 33
145. When several enclitics occur in succession, each takes an acute from the following, the last remaining without accent; as a tis Tt not
146. When an enclitic forms the last part of a compound word, the compound is accented as if the enclitic were a separate word. Thus, ovnvos,
DIALECTIC CHANGES.
147. The Ionic dialect is marked by the use of 17 where the Attic has a; and the Doric and Aeolic by the use of a where the Attic has 77.
Thus, Ionic yivir/ for yivtd, lyaofiai for laaofua (from Idofixu, 635); Doric Ti/iacrui for ri/nyo-a) (from ti/jAui) ; Aeolic and Doric Xd&d for XrjBi). But an Attic a caused by contraction (as in ripa from TifMt), or an Attic rj lengthened from t (as in <^L
jau id="iv.i.p522.1"> from
148. The Ionic often has a, ov, for Attic t, o; and i/i for Attic a in nouns and adjectives in «os, aov; as £ilvos for £tvo<:, fiovvo1: for fiovos; /Jao-iXjyios for fiao-CXcios.
149. The Ionic does not avoid successive vowels to the same extent as the Attic; and it therefore very often omits contraction (36). It contracts to and tov into cv (especially in Herodotus); as vouv/xtv, iroitijm (from -nouofitv, iroitovcri), for Attic Troiovfi€v, TTOiovai. Herodotus does not use v movable (56). See also 94 and 785, 1.
PUNCTUATION MARKS.
150. 1. The Greek uses the comma (,) and the period (.) like the English. Tt has also a colon, a point above the line (•), which is equivalent to the English colon and semicolon; as oi»c laO' 0 y' ilirov " ov yap
2. The mark of interrogation (,-) is the same as the English semicolon; as ttotc rjXOcv; when did he comet

PART II.
INFLECTION.
151. Inflection is a change in the form of a word, made to express its relation to other words. It includes the declension of nouns, adjectives, and pronouns, and the conjugation of verbs.
152. Eveiy inflected word has a fundamental part, which is called the stem. To this are appended various letters or syllables, to form cases, tenses, persons, numbers, etc.
153. Most words contain a stil! more primitive element than the stem, which is called the root. Thus, the stem of the verb ripdv), honor, is rijua-, and that of the noun Tl/xrj, is rlfnd-, that of ricris, payment, is run.-, that of rtfuot, held in It/mor, is Tt/ito-, that of TifiLrj/jua (Tl^ij/xaTot), valuation, is ti/xtj/jut-; but all these sterns are developed from one root, ti-, which is seen pure in the verb ti-u), honor. In tmd, therefore, the verb stem and the root are the same.
154. The stem itself may be modified and assume various forms in different parts of a noun or verb. Thus the same verb stem may in different tense stems appear as Aitt-, Atur-, and Aonr-(see 459). So the same noun stem may appear as rlfxa.-, rlfxa-, and rlfir}- (108).
155. There are three numbers; the singular, the dual,-and the plural. The singular denotes one object, the plural more than one. The dual is sometimes used to denote two objects, but even here the plural is more common.
34
35 |
j02] GENDERS, NUMBERS, AND CASES. 35
156. There are three genders; the masculine, the feminine, and the neuter.
157. N. The grammatical gender in Greek is very often different from tlie natural gender. Especially many names of things are masculine or feminine. A Greek noun is called masculine, feminine, or neuter, when it requires an adjective or article to take the form adapted to either of these genders, and the adjective or article is then said to have the gender of the corresponding noun; thus o «i/ji)S 7roTu/ios, the broad river (masc), rj Ka ) oIkCu, the beautiful house (fein.), tovto to irpayfta, this thing (neut.).
The gender of a noun is often indicated by prefixing the article (380); as (6) avqp, man; ()J) ywr'j, woman; (to) vpayfia, thing.
158. Nouns which may be either masculine or femiuine are said to lie of the cummon gender: as (6, 17) 8t6<:, God or Goddess. Names of animals winch include both sexes, but have only one grammatic.il gender, are called epicene (ivUoivos); as 6 acros, the eagle; r) iu>nr}£, the fox; both including males and females.
159. The gender must often be learned by observation. But
(1) Names of males are generally masculine, and names of females feminine.
(2) Most names of rivers, winds, and months are masculine; and most names of countries, towns, trees, and islands are feminine.
(3) Most nouns denoting qualities or conditions are feminine; as upiTri, virtue, ims, hope.
(4) Diminutive nouns are neuter; as iratSiW, child; -ywatov, old woman (literally, little woman).
Other rules are given under the declensions (see 1G8; 189; 281-284).
160. There are five cases; the nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, and vocative.
161. 1. The nominative and vocative plural are always alike.
2. In neuters, the nominative, accusative, and vocative are alike in all numbers; in the plural these end in a.
3. The nominative, accusative, and vocative dual are always alike; and the genitive and dative dual are always alike.
162. The eases of nouns have in general the same meaning as 'he corresponding cases in Latin; as Norn, a man (as subject),
36 |

[163
Gen. of a man, Dat. to or for a man, Accus. a man (as object), Voc. 0 man. The chief functions of the Latin ablative are divided between the Greek genitive and dative. (See 1042.)
163. All the cases except the nominative5 and vocative are called oblique cases.
NOUNS.
164. There are three declensions of nouns, in which also all adjectives and participles are included.
165. These correspond in general to the first three declensions in Latin. The first is sometimes called the A declension (with stems in d), and the second the 0 declension (with steins in o). These two together are sometimes called the. Vowel declension, as opposed to the third or Consonant declension (206).
The principles which are common to adjectives, participles, and substantives are given under the three declensions of nouns.
166. N. The name noun (6vona), according to ancient usage, includes both substantives and adjectives. Dut by modern custom noun is generally used in grammatical language as synonymous with substantive, and it is so used in the present v/oxk.

FIRST DECLENSION.
168. Stems of the first declension end originally in a. This is often modified into r in the singular, and it becomes a in the plural. The nominative singular of feminities ends in a ov r); that of masculines ends in a? or. t;?. There are no neuters.
169. The following table shows how the final a or ij of the stem unites with the case endings (107), when any are added, to form the actual terminations: —

170. N. In the genitive singular of masculines Homeric ao comes from a-io (1(19); but Attic ov probably follows the analogy of ov for oo in the second declension (101). Circumtlexed w in the genitive, plural is contracted from Ionic iuv (188, 5). J'he stem in d (or ») may thus be seen in all cases of >Mi and xov of the genitive). The forms ending in a and ij have no case-endings.

197. N. There are mo neuter nouns of the Attic declension in good use. But the corresponding adjectives, as fAtuK, propitious, tiytaK,Jtriile, have neuters in w, as Xkiusv, tvyiwv. (See 3U5.J
198. N. Tlie accent of these nouns is irregular, and that of the genitive and dative is doubtful. (See 114; 125.)
199. N. Some nouns of this class may have « in the accusative singular; as Aayw?, accus. aytliv or Aayw. .So"A#o>9, Toi'*A0u>i' or "A8u> Kws, rijv Kill/ or Kai; and Kc'ws, T<«;5, Micws. Ews, dawn, has regularly rrjv °Eo>.
200. N. JVIost nouns of the Attic declension have older forms in aos or tjo?, from which they are probably derived by exchange of quantity (3;i); as Horn. A.ao'5, people, Att. Atok; Dor. t/uds, Ion. vtjo?, Att. i/cws; H0111. Mtw'Xaos, Att. M«v«A«u)5. But some come by contraction ; as Aa-yoil?, hare, from Aaywos. In words like MtveXcw;, the original accent, is retained (114).

5. The Ionic generally omits contraction.
THIRD DECLENSION.
205. This declension includes all nouns not belonging to either the first or the second. Its genitive singular ends in o? (sometimes o>?).
206. N. This is often called the Consonant Declension (165), because, the stem here generally ends in a consonant. Some stems, however, end in a close vowtl (< or u), some in a diphthong, and a few in o or u>.
207. The stem of a noun of the third declension cannot always be determined by the nominative singular; but it is generally found by dropping os of the genitive. The cases are formed by adding the case-endings (167) to the stem.
208. 1. For final ws in the genitive singular of nouns in «, vs, i>, evs, and of vaOs, ship, see 240; 265; 269.
2. For 5 and os in the accusative singular and plural of nouns in eut, see 205.
3. The contracted accusative plural generally has «s for fd"t Irregularly, to conform to the contracted nominative in m for «s. (See 313.) So ov! in the accusative plural of comparatives in ~tuv (358).
4. The original « of the accusative plural is seen in ixKt (for ixOv-vs) from ixBtn (259), and the Ionic iroXJt (for iroXi-n) from ir6it (266).

210] THIRD DECLENSION. 45
FORMATION OF CASES. Nominative Singular.
209. The numerous forms of the nominative singular of this declension must be learned partly by practice. The following are the general principles on which the nominative is formed from the stem.
1. Masculine and feminine stems, except those in v, p, cr, and ovt (2 and 3), add s, and make the needful euphonic changes. E.g.
4>vAa£, guard, <£i!AaK-os; yiip, vulture, yuir-os; s< XaP'cyT~t*s <
2. Masculine and feminine steins in v, p, and a- merely lengthen the last vowel, if it is short. Ey.
Alu>v, ai/e, aiciv-os; &xifi
3. Masculine stems in ovt drop t, and lengthen o to u>. E.g. Aitnv, lion, AcovT-os; Atyw, speaking, Xiyovr-Oi; cue, being,
oir-os.
4. In neuters, the nominative singular is generally the same as the stom. Final t of the stem is dropped (25). E.g.
2<2i^c«, body, awjjuiT-O':; fxcXav (neuter of /ic'Ads), black', ^i.
210. (Exceptions to 209, 1-3.) 1. In -now, foot, iroS-oi, o8s becomes ous. Aa/xop, wife, Sa/MxpT-oi;, does not add ?. Change in quantity occurs in aumi)£, fox, dAoo7r«K-o?, Krjpvi, herald, KTjpuK-os, and
2. Stems in iv- add s and have 1i (78, 3) in the nominative; as pfs, nose, pic-di. These also add s: ktji'?, comi, ktcv-os (78, 3) ; els, one, lv-6t; and the adjectives /Ae'Ads, 6/aci, /it'Aac-os, and A wretched, rdkavoi.

3. 'OSous (Ionic oSiiv), tooth, gen. 68wt-os, forms its nominative like participles in ous: for these see 212, 1.
211. {Exceptions to 209, 4.) Some neuter steins in ar- have ap in the nominative; as rjvap, liver, gen. ^var-os (225), as if from a stein in apr-. For nouns in a? with double stems in ar- (or ar-) ami acr-, as xptai, wipa<; (225), and Tipasee 237. 'tis (for

Other participles from stems in ovt- have nominatives in wv, like nouns (209, 3).
2. The perfect active participle, with stem in or-, forms its nominative in <«s (niasc.) and o? (neut.); as XeXuxuis, having loosed, neut. cvk6s, gen. XoVukot-o?. (See 335.)
213. X. For nominatives in t?s and os, gen. coy, from stems in «t-, see 227. For peculiar formations from stems in o (r.om.
Accusative Singular.
214. 1. Most masculines and feminines with consonant stems add a to the stem in the accusative singular; as (f>v.a£ (<^ id="iv.i.p1189.1">uXaK-),
2. Those with vowel stems add v; as tt6i<;, state, 7ro'Xiv; 'X^"9> A^1! 'LX^^V i vavi, ship, vavv; /3ous, ox, ftovv.
3. Barytones in 15 and us with lingual (t, 8, 6) stems generally drop the lingual and add v; as tpt? (c'pi8-), strife, *Plv X°-Pl<: (xuP'T")> {/race, ^dpiv, op>/Is (dpvW-), bird, opvlv; evcX-ms ((iiXtnS-), hopeful, cvcXttiv (but the oxytoue f'X7r(5,
hope, has iXv{Su.).
215. N. xXtt's ((cX«8), ie;/, has kXclv (rarely xXeiSa).
216. N. Homer, Herodotus, and the Attic poets make accusatives in o of the nouns of 214, 3; as
217. N. 'AnoWuiv and Tloo-ab'wy (YloaaSduiv) have accusatives 'AiroXXu) and Ilocr£i8uj, besides the forms in wva.
For in the accusative of comparatives in lu>v, see 359.
218. N. For accusatives iu those in evs, and in a (for ui or 00) from those in us or u, see '228 ; 265; 243.

226] NOUNS WITH MUTE OR LIQUID STEMS. 47
Vocative Singular.
219. The vocative singular of masculines and feminiues is sometimes the same as the nominative, and sometimes the same as the stem.
220. It is the same as the nominative
1. In nouns with mute stems; as nom. and voc.
2. In oxytones with liquid stems; as nom. and voc. woipyv (iroi/xcv-), shepherd, A.i/xtJj' (Xi/itv-), harbor.
Hut barytones have the vocative like the stem; as Saiftuv (haifj.ov-), voc. Saifnov- (See the paradigms in 225.)
221. (Exception;:.) 1. Those with stems in 18-, and barytones with stems in vr- (except, participles), have the vocative like the stem; as eAiris (c'A.7ri8 ), hope, vo':. tVrt (r:f.2.r>): see kiuiv and yi'yds, declined in 225. So Aids (Aiacr-), Ajax, voc. Alav (Horn.), but Aids in Attic.

367] ADVERBS AND THEIR COMPARISON. 77
362. Irregularities in the comparison of the following words will be found in the Lexicon: —
tticr^pds, dAytivds, apwu£, a^Oovoi, d^ap'S. ftaOik, /3Ad£, /JpaSvs, os, yAvicus, im jo~fj.uiv, «7ri^api5, ^ctu^os, iStos, ictos, AaAos, os, vios, 7raAaids, 7ra^w, irt'irwi', ttiwv, irkrjcrios, irpf'cr/3us, vpovpyov, 7rpuiios, (TwouSaros, a^oA.aios, i/kuStjs, uVu's.
363. Some comparatives and superlatives have do positive, but their stem generally appears in an adverb or preposition. E.g.
Aviinpoi, up]>er, dviiraros, uppermost, from ava), up; irporcpos, former, 7rpuiTO5 or TrpcoTioTos, Jirst, from irpo, before; Karwrtpos, lower, KaraJraTos, lowest, from Kara), downward.
See in the Lexicon dy^oTtpo?, d<£dpr«pos, xtpSiwy, oirXortpos, irpoauiTtpos, piyiov (neuter), vrrif>Ttpo%, vcrnpos, itpiuiv, <^advT£pos, with their regular superlatives; also to^ai-os, vin-aro?, and KijStaros.
364. Comparatives and superlatives may be formed from nouns, and even from pronouns. E.g.
BaffiAtw, king, /jacnXivrcpos, a greater king, fiacnXcvraTos, the greatest king; kAott^?, thief, kXivttempos, KAtwrt'crTUTOs ; kvuiv, dog, f, more impudent, KvvraTOs, most impudent. So avrds, self, s, his very self, ipsissimus.
ADVERBS AND THEIR COMPARISON.
365. Adverbs are regularly formed from adjectives. Their form (including the accent) may be found by changing v of the genitive plural masculine to ?. E.g.
Oi'Acos, dearly, from <£i'Ao?; Sikcu'ws, justly (Sikcliot) ; cto^xS?, wisely ( uiv); tto.vt<;, wholly (iras, gen. phir. iravruiv).
366. Adverbs are occasionally formed in the same way from participles; as Sia^cpoVroDs, differently, from 8ia
367. The neuter accusative of an adjective (either singular or plural) may be used as an adverb. U.g.
IIoAv and iroAAd, much (ttoAus) ; ft-tya or fuyaXa, greatly (i also myaXd)<; (365), /idiw, only (/aovos, alone).

INFLECTION.
[388
368. Other forms of adverbs occur with various terminations; as fiaXa, very, toluol, quickly, dvco, above, iyyvs, near.
369. The neuter accusative singular of the comparative of an adjective forms the comparative of the corresponding adveib, and the neuter accusative plural of the superlative forms the superlative of the adverb. E.g.
2o<£ws (crowds), wisely;
370. 1. Adverbs in o generally form a comparative in rtpui, and a superlative in rara; as avw, above, avaripta, avuiTarui.
2. A few comparatives derived from adjectives end in ri'>ux;; as ^3f/3atoT£pu)9, more firmly, for Peficuortpov, from f3c(3a[u>s.
371. N. MdXa, much, very, has comparative fioXXov (for ^iaA.-i-oi', 84, 4), more, rattier; superlative fjAXuTTa, most, especially.

410. Feminine dual forms in a and atv are very rare (303).
411. 'EmTi/os is regular except in the neuter ixeivo- Ktii/os is Ionic and poetic. "O8e is formed of the article 6 and -St (141, 4). For its accent, see 14U.
412. N. The demonstratives, including some adverbs (436), may be emphasized by adding i, before which a short vowel is dropped. Thus ovtouI, avrrji, rovrt; 68;', iy§i, rohi; tovtovI, ravri, TOVTu>vi. So Touovrocrt (429), oj8i, ovtu&L In comedy ye (rarely St) may precede this t, making yi or Si; as rov-royi, toutoSc.
413. N. Herodotus has rovriwv in the feminine for tovtwv (cf. 397). Homer has T

VERBS.
441. The Greek verb has three voices, the active, middle, and passive.
442, 1. The middle voice generally signifies that the subject performs an action upon himself or fir his own benefit (1242), but sometimes it is not distinguished from the active voice in meaning.
91 |
450] VERBS. 91
2. The passive differs- from Die middle in form in only two tenses, the luture and the aorist.
443. Deponent verbs are those wliicli have no active voice, but are used in the middle (or the middle and passive) forms with an active sense.
444. N. Deponents generally have the aorist and future of the middle form. A few, wliicli have an aorist (sometimes a future) of the passive form, are called passive deponents; while the others are called middle deponents.
445. There are four moods (properly so called), the indicative, subjunctive, optative, and imperative. To these are added, in the conjugation of the verb, the infinitive, and participles of the chief tenses. The verbal adjectives i^to? and Teo? have many points of likeness to participles (see 776).
446. The four proper moods, as opposed to the infinitive, are called Jinite moods. The subjunctive, optative, imperative, and infinitive, as opposed to the indicative, are called dependent moods.
447. There are seven tenses, the present, imperfect, future, aorist, perfect, pluperfect, and future perfect. The imperfect and pluperfect are found only in the indicative. The future and future perfect are wanting in the subjunctive and imperative. The future perfect belongs regularly to the passive voice, but sometimes has the meaning of the active or middle.
448. The present, perfect, future, and future perfect indicative are called primary (or principal) tenses; the imperfect, pluperfect, and aorist indicative are called secondary (or historical) tenses.
449. Many verbs have tenses known as the second aorist (in all voices), the second perfect and pluperfect (active), and the second future (passive). These tenses are generally of more simple formation than the first (or ordinary) aorist, perfect, etc. Few verbs have both forms in any tense; when this occurs, the two forms generally differ in meaning (for example, by the first being transitive, the second intransitive), but not always.
450. The aorist corresponds generally to the indefinite or his-
92 |
92 INFLECTION. [461
torical perfect in Latin, and the perfect to the English perfect or the definite perfect in Latin.
451. N. No Greek verb is in use in all these tenses, and the full paradigm of the regular verb must iuclude parts of three different verbs. See 470.
452. There are three numbers, as in nouns, the singular, dual, and plural.
453. In each tense of the indicative, subjunctive, and optative, there are three persons in each number, the first, second, and third; in each tense of the imperative there are two, the second and third.
454. N. The first person dual is the same as the first person plural, except in a very few poetic forms (666, 2). This person is therefore omitted in the paradigms.
TENSE SYSTEMS AND TENSE STEMS.
455. The tenses are divided into nine classes or tense systems, each with its own tense stem.
456. The tense systems are the following: —
SYSTEMS. TEN8ES.
i. Present, including present and imperfect. ii. Future, « future active and middle.
in. First-aorist, " first aorist active and middle.
iv. Second-aorist, " second aorist active and middle. v. First-perfect, " first perfect and pluperfect active. vi. 'Second-perfect, " second perfect and pluperfect active. vii. Perfect-middle, " perfect and pluperfect middle and
future perfect.
vin. First-passive, " first aorist and future passive. ix. Second-passive, " second aorist and future passive.
457. 1. The last five tense stems are further modified to form 'peoial stems for the two pluperfects, the future perfect, and the two passive futures.
2. As few verbs have both the first and the second forms of any tense (449), most verbs have only six tense stems, and many have even less.
458. The various tense stems are almost always formed from one fundamental stem, called the verb stem. These formations will be explained in 568-622.
93 |
463] TENSE SYSTEMS AND TENSE STEMS. 93
459. Before learning the paradigms, it is important to distinguish between verbs in which the verb stem appears without change in all the tense systems, and those in which it is modified more or less in different systems (154).
Thus in Ac'yo), speak, the verb stem Xiy- is found in Xi£
460. Verb stems are cwled vowel stems or consonant stems, and the latter are called mute steins (including labial, palatal, and lingual steins) or liquid stems, according to their final letter. Thus we may name the stems of <£tA<'
, XeiVo) (Xun-, A«r-), rptfta (rpt/?-), ypa
((^ai/-), ortAAco
461. A verb which has a vowel verb stem is called a pure verb; and one which has a mute stem or a liquid stem is called a mute or a liquid verb.
462. 1. The principal parts of a Greek verb are the first person singular of the present, future, first aorist, and (first or second) perfect, indicative active; the perfect middle, and the (first or second) aorist passive; with the second aorist (active or middle) when it occurs. These generally represent all the tense systems which the verb uses. E.g.
Avu), Xicro), (Xv
YIpa
rpciypuii, iirpa)(8y)V.
2r(AAo) (o-tcA-), send, cttcXCi, (O-reiXa, toraXKa, iaraXftai, ia-raXrjv. 2. If a verb has no future active, the future middle may be given among the principal parts; as o-kujitto), jeer, cKa)pofua, iKwja
463. In deponent verbs the principal parts are the present, future, perfect, and aorist (or aorists) indicative. E.g.

CONJUGATION.
464. To conjugate a verb is to give all its voices, moods, tenses, numbers, and persons in their proper order.
465. These parts of the verb are formed as follows: —
1. By modifying the verb stem itself to form the difi'or-ent tense stems. (Sec 5flS-G22; GGO-717.)
2. By affixing certain syllables called endings to the tense stein; as in Xtyo-fxcv, ktyt-rt, Kiyc-rai, iy6-/Atda, X«yo-vto.1, Xf^e-rai, k(£e-cr6(.. (See 551-554.)
3. In the secondary tenses of the indicative, by also pinfixing e to the tense stem (if this begins with a consonant), or lengthening its initial vowel (if it begins with a short vowel); as in l-iyo-v, t-Ae£c, c-^i/ya-To; and in y/kovo-v and tJkovo-o., imperfect and aorist of olkovw, hear. This prefix or lengthening is confined to the indicative.
4. A prefix, seen in A*- of Ac'Auxa and At'Aet/n/iai, in we- of 7ri(j>a
466. These prefixes and lengthenings, called augment (:3) and reduplication (4), are explained in 510-550.
467. There are two principal forms of conjugation of Greek verbs, that of verbs in w and that of verbs in fu.
468. Verbs in /u form a small class, compared with those in o;, and are distinguished in their inflection almost exclusively in the present and secoud-aorist systems, generally agreeing with verbs in

471. N. Avw in the present and imperfect generally has v in Attic poetry and vi in Homer; in other tenses, it has v in the future and aorist active and middle and the future perfect, elsewhere v.
472. The paradigms include the perfect imperative active, although it is hardly possible that this tense can actually have been formed in any of thi'Se verbs. As it occurs, however, in a few verbs (748), it is given here to complete the illustration of the forms. For the rare perfect subjunctive and optative active, see 720 and 731.
473. Each tense of kiw is translated in the synopsis of 474, except rare untranslatable forms like the future perfect infinitive and participle, and the tenses of the subjunctive and optative. The meaning of these last cannot be fully understood until the constructions are explained in the Syntax. But the following' examples will make them clearer than any possible translation of the forms, some of which {e.y. the future optative) cannot be used in independent sentences.

477. 1. The active of XtiVo) in the various tenses means J leave (or am leaving), I left (or was If.aniny), I shall Icav-, etc. The second perfect means / have left, or / have failed or uni wanting. The first aorist tAai/ia is not in good use.
2. The middle of XeiVw means properly to remain (leave one's self), i" which sense it differs little (or not at all) from the passive. But the second aorist t'Xtjro/i^i/ often means 1 left fur myxelf(e.<]. a memorial or monument): so the present and future middle in composition. 'EXi7ro/x^ in Homer sometimes means / van left behind or was inferior, like the passive.
?. The passive of Xtivm is used in all tenses, with the meanings I urn left, J was left, I have been left, I had hern left, I shall have been left, 1 was left, I shall be left. It also means I am inferior (left behind).

500. The peculiar inflection of verbs in /u affects only the present and second aorist systems, and in a few verbs the second perfect system. Most second aorists and perfects here included do not belong to presents in fa, but are irregular forms of verbs in w; as 3)?f (second aorist of fiaivut), lyvuiv (yiyvuxrKio), iirraix-qv (Wto-/«u), and T(6va/xtv, TcSvairjv, TiOyavai. (second perfect of OvrjvKw). (See 798, 799, 804.)
501. Tenses thus inflected are called /it-forms. In other tenses verbs in /u are inflected like verbs in
502. There are two classes of verbs in /xi: —
(1) Those in 77/u (from stems in a or t) and
(2) Those in vvfii, which have the /it-form only in the present and imperfect; these add w (after a vowel vw) to the verb stem in these tenses, as 8etWiJ-/« (oW-), show, pui-vvv-ixi (po>-), strengthen. For poetic verbs in vrj/jn (with va added to the stem), see C09 and 707, 2.
503. For a full enumeration of the pi-forms, see 793-804.

AUGMENT.
510. In the secondary tenses of the indicative, the verb receives an augment (i.e. increase) at the beginning, which marks these as past tenses.
511. Augment is of two kinds: —
1. Syllabic augment, which prefixes e to verbs beginning with a consonant; as Xvw, imperfect e-voi>; XetVo), second aorist e- rov.
2. Temporal augment, which lengthens the first syllable of verbs beginning with a vowel or diphthong; as aya, lead, imperf. rjyov; ol/ciw, ol/ca>, dwell, aor. wicrjaa.

ATTIC REDUPLICATION.
529. Some verbs beginning with a, e, or o, followed by a single consonant, reduplicate the perfect and pluperfect by prefixing their first two letters, and lengthening the following vowel as in the temporal augment. This is called Attic reduplication. E.fi.

547. Homer and the lyric poets often omit both the syllabic and the temporal augment; as o/xiXiov, ixov' Su>« (for u>jxiX.ovv, S
548. Herodotus often omits the temporal augment of the imperfect and aorist, and the syllabic augment of the pluperfect. He never adds the temporal augment to the Attic reduplication in the pluperfect (533). He always oinils the augment in the iterative forms in crxov and crxo/iijj/; as Xdptaxov, i(OK0v (778).

550. The i-eduplication is very rarely omitted. But Homer has 6^XaTa'i from 5/^o/iai, fur 5(5ixarat, receive, and a few other cases. Herodotus occasionally fails to lengthen the, initial vowel in the perfect; as in KarappuidrjKai (for Kar-rjpp-).
ENDINGS.
551. The verb is inflected by adding certain endings to the-different tense steins. Those which mark the persons in the finite moods are called personal endings. There, is one class of endings for the active voice, and another for the middle and passive; but the passive aorists have the active endings.
There is also one set of endings in each class for primary tenses, and one for secondary tenses.

TENSE STEMS AND FORMS OP INFLECTION.
SIMPLE AND COMPLEX TENSE STEMS.
557. Tense stems are of two classes, simple and complex. A simple tense stem is the verb stem (often in a modified form), to which the endings are applied directly. A complex tense stem is composed of the verb stem (with its modifications) prolonged by a tense suffix (561,5), to which the endings are applied. iSee 4o8.
558. (Simple Tense Stems.) Simple tense stems are found
(a) in the present and imperfect, the second aorist active and middle, and the second perfect and pluperfect, of the conjugation in /u (500), except in the subjunctive;
(b) in the perfect and pluperfect middle of all verbs. E.g.
(a) From
(i) From At-Au- (reduplicated stem of ki-o>) with the middle endings (552) come kikv-nax, A«'Au-

561. (Tense Suffixes.) 1. In the present, imperfect, and second aorist active and middle of the conjugation in u>, in all futures, and in the future perfect, the tense stem ends in a variable vowel, called the thematic vowel, which is o before /* and v and in the optative, and is elsewhere «. This is written %-; as Xv°/(., present stem of Xi-w, Aur%-, second aorist stem of AuV-u). In the futures and the future perfect, the thematic vowel is preceded by a. To these prolonged tense steins the endings are added. E.g.
Avo-fxtv, Xvire, Xvovcrt for Xvo-vai (78, 3); c-Xuro-v, €-Anre-i;, t-Anro-yucy, t-Xcni-TC.; (-ltti-(j6(, I-Xltto-vto ; Xvao-fJ.cvy Xiat-rc, Xucro-vtcli. For the terminations w, a*;, ei in the singular, see (iji.'i.

H. The first aorist stem has a suffix o-a-, the first perfect «a-, and the 6econd perfect a-.
4. The first aorist passive has a suffix $c- (or 0jj-), and the second aorist passive e- (orif); as A«iV-od, iXil
The first and second passive futures have Or)
f>. 'riio thematic vowels, and o°A-, aa-, xa- (a-), ^£- (Or/-) or e- (7;-), Or)tT%- or rj(j°A-, (1-4), are called tense sujjixes.
562. (Optative Suffix.) The optative inserts a moo svffix 1- or it/- («-) between both the simple and the complex tense stem and the personal endings. (See 730.)
For the subjunctive, see 718; 561, 2.

564. To this form (sometimes called the /m-ionu) belong all tenses which have simple tense stems (558) and also both passive aorists, — always excepting the subjunctives (501, 2.). It has these peculiarities of inflection: —
1. The first and third persons singular of the present indicative active have the endings fji and at (53-); as cprj-fxi,
j
2. The second aorist imperative active generally retains the ending @i (05:!); as ftrj-di, go. So rarely the present; as

FORMATION AND INFLECTION OP TENSE STSTEMS.
566. To understand the inflection of the verb, we must know the relation of each tense stem to the verb stem, and also certain internal modifications which the verb stem undergoes in some of the teuse systems.
FORMATION OF THE PRESENT STEM FROM THE VERB STEM. — EIGHT CLASSES OF VERBS.
567. When the verb stem does not appear unchanged in the present stem, as it does in Xi-w and Xty-u (459), it generally appears in a strengthened form; as in k6ttt-u> (/con--), cut, fjuxvddv-a) (fiad-), learn, dpfo-«-
568. Verbs are divided into eight classes with reference to the relation of the present stem to the verb stem.
569. Fikst Class. (Verb Stem unchanged in Present.) Here the present stem is formed by adding the thematic vowel %- (o65, 1) to the verb stem. E.g.
Ae'yw (A«y-), say, present stein Aey%-, giving A

Reduplicated presents of all classes are given in 651 and 662. These and others which are peculiar in their inflection are found in the Catalogue of Verbs. For special peculiarities, see

This class includes verbs with inute stems which have strong forms with a (oi), ev, or rj (31) in all tenses except in the second aorist and second passive systems, in which they have the weak forms in i, v, and a. The present stein adds %-to the strong form of the stem. E.g.

623. {Common Form.) The present indicative adds the primary endings (552) to the present tense stem in %-, except in the singular of the active, where it has the terminations u>, cis, ci, the origin of which is uncertain. The first person in /u, and both the forms in « and in p.i were probably inherited by the Greek from the parent language. For the third person in oven (for ovui), see 550, 5.
624. Of the two forms of the second person singular middle in 77 and a (500, (!), that in a is the true Attic form, which was
144 |
144 INFLECTION. [625
used in prose and in coined}'. But, the tragedians seein to have preferred the form in tj,1 which is the regular form in the other dialects, except Ionic, and in the later common dialect. This applies to the future middle and passive and to the future perfect, as well as to the present.
625. Bovko/uu., wish, and oio/juu, think, have only fiovka and o"«, with no forms in 77. So oipofiai, future of opoio), see, lias only 6pu.
626. The imperfect adds the secondary endings to the tense stem in %-. See the paradigm of kiw.
627. (Mi-/on>i.) Here the final vowel of the stem is long (with 77, w, v) in the singular of both present and imperfect indicative active, but short (with u or e, 0, v) in the dual and plural, and also in most other forms derived from the present, stem. This change from the strong stem in the indicative singular to the weak stein in other forms is one of the most important distinctions between the /it-form and that in w. The endings here include fu, ?,
628. The third person plural of the present active lias the ending aui (552), which is always contracted with a (but never with t, o, or v) of the stem; as luracn (for tora-aai), but nOe-aci, SiSd-utn, huKvi-aat.
629. The only verbs in fit with consonant stems are the irregular dfu («r-), be, and r'^uxc (ijcr-), sit. (See 80G and 814.)
630. Some verbs in 77/u and o>/u have forms which follow the inflection of verbs in ew and 00. Thus the imperfect forms m&ts and iriOti (as if from Ti6iu>), and ih&ovv, cSi&ovs, «8t8ov (a-s if from SiSniu), are much more common than the regular forms in 77?, 7; and toy, u)9, u>.

660. The formation of the present stem and the inflection of the present and imperfect indicative have bceu explained in 568-622 and 62.3-632.
661. The eight l-emaiiiing tense stems (II.-IX.) are formed from the verb stem. This is the simplest form of the stem in all classes of verbs except the Second, where it is the strom; form (575; 642).

See 780, 1 (end).
4. These fovms of future (665, 1-3) are called Auic, because the purer Attic seldom uses any others in these tenses; but they are found also in other dialects and even in Homer.

2. In the singular, Herodotus has the. original ea, tas, u, and Homer has ta, »?s, «-(v); later Attic writers, and sometimes the orators, have civ, eis, et. In the dual and plural ti for e is not classic.
684. The stem may be modified before k in both perfect and pluperfect, by lengthening its final vowel (035), by changing t to a in monosyllabic liquid stems (645), by dropping v in a few verbs (047), or by metathesis (04!)); as
685. N. Et of the stem becomes oi in (8a'8u)) Se'Sotxa (31).

j v, etc.
697. (Mi-/t>™.s) A few verbs have second perfects and pluperfects of the simple fu-iorm, \hich affix the endings directly to the verb stein. They are never found in the singular of the indicative. E.g.
©i/-/j(tku) (0ra-, 6av), die, 2 perf. ri6va-rov, Tc6ya-/x(v, TiOvam; 2 plpf. iridvaaav. (See 508.)
These fu-ionws are enumerated in 804.

700. When v is not dropped before /jxu (G-47), it is generally replaced by cr (S3), and it sometimes becomes /j. (78, 2); as
701. In the third person plural of the perfect and pluperfect middle, consonant stems are compelled to use the perfect participle with aVand tja.iv (ISO, 2).
Here, however, the Ionic endings arai and aro for vrai and vro (777, 3) are occasionally used even in Attic prose; as Ttrdx-aTai and ircTo.aTo (Thueyd.) for rtrayixivoi tlci and rjaav.

703. (Future Perfect.) The stem of the future perfect is formed by adding u%- to the stem of the perfect middle. It ends in ao/xai, and lias the inflection of the future middle (GG2). A short final vowel is always lengthened before

705. N. Two verbs have a special form in Attic Greek for the future perfect active; Ovrjaxw, die, has TtOvrj^w, shall be dead, formed from the perfect, stem tc6vy)k-; and i'orrj/iu, set, has cctti^co, shall stand, from Iktttjk-, stem of perfect iarrjKa, stand. In Homer, we have also Ke-^apr/crw and Kcxapr/ao/xai, from ^a[puj (xaP~)> rejoice; and KCKm&y
706. N. In most verbs the future perfect active is expressed by the perfect participle and icro/xaL (future of d/xi, be) ; as cyi/cuxore? iao/xtOa, we shall have learnt. The future perfect passive may also be expressed in this way; as aTnjWayfitvoi i

FORMATION OP THE DEPENDENT MOODS AND THE PARTICIPLE.
SUBJUNCTIVE.
718. The subjunctive hu.s the primary endings (552) in all its tenses. In all forms (oven in verbs in /u) it lias a long thematic vowel "/,- (501, 2).
719. {Common Form.) In the common form of inflection, the present and second aorist tense steins change 'Veto "/,-, and the first aorist tense stein changes final a to "7,-. All have w, jjs, 77 in the singular, and <»cu for covert (7S, 3) iu the third person plural, of the active. E.g.
AtiVo), pres. sulij. Xccwu), Xuttw/mxi, 2 aor. AiVcu, Xivto/uu; Ainu, 1 aor. Avctu), Aicru/Aui.
720. A perfect subjunctive; active is rarely formed, on the analogy of the present., by changing final a of the tense stem to "A;-; as Ac'Awa, A.
721. The perfect subjunctive middle is almost always expressed by the perfect middle participle and
722. A few verbs with vowel stems form a perfect subjunctive middle directly, by adding *"/,,- to the tense stem; as xra-o^uii, acquire, pf. K(KT,;fiui. posaets, sulij. k«ktii>/*ui (for m-KTyj-wfUu), k«ktij, k€ktt)t
723. (Mi-form.) In all ,ui-forms, including both passive aorists (oGi), the final vowel of the stem is contracted with the thematic, vowel (.0 or 77), so that the subjunctive ends m S> or Ci/Mi.
724. 1. Verbs in jj/xi (with stems in t- and a-) have w, 7)9, jj, Cifjuxi, rj, f/rai, etc., in the subjunctive, as if all had stems in t. Thus tcrrr/jUi (crra-) has Icttj^?, tarrj, lorijTai, ctttJ?, ctttJ, etc., as if the uncontracted form were Icttc-w, not tora-a>. These verbs have Ionic stems in e- (see 783, 1).

729. N. Awa/ui, can, iirtara/Aai, understand, upcfiuifMi, hang, and the second aorist cTrpux/xrjv, bought, accent the subjunctive (as the optative, 742) as if there were no contraction; thus Swwfjuou, «rioTfuu, Kpi/xapxii, Trpiw/uxi (compare tiOw/uu).
OPTATIVE.
730. 1. The optative adds the secondary endings (552) to the tense stem, preceded by the mood suffix (5C2) 1 or «; (it); as XioiTi (for vo-i-tc), icrTixirjv (for laTa-irj-v), Aufouv (for X«6c-t£-v). For the ending fju, see 731.
2. The form 177 appears only before active endings. It is always used in the singular of /u-forms with these endings (including the aorist passive, 564, 7) and of contracted presents iu oirjv and utrjv of verbs in aw, ta>, and ow. After i-q the first person singular always has the ending v. See examples in 737 and 739.
3. Before the ending v of the third person plural u is always used; as Xvouv (for vo-it-v).
4. In the second person singular middle,

731. (Verb* in u>.) Verbs in o> have the ending /n (for v) in the first person singular in all tenses of the active voice. In the present, future, and second aorist systems, the thematic vowel (always o) is contracted with 1 to 01, giving 01/u, ««,

732. The Attic generally uses the so-called Aeolic terminations tuis,
733. The perfect middle is almost always expressed by the perfect middle participle and lirfv; as AcAu/«Vos elijy (see 480, 2). The perfect active is more frequently expressed by the perfect active participle and ilrjv than by the form in oifu given in the paradigms; as XeXvuas el-qv- (See 720; 721.)
734. 1. A few verbs with vowel steins form a perfect optative middle (like the subjunctive, 722) directly, by adding i-finjv or 0-i-fj.yjv to the tense stem; as ktcio/kh, pf. KiKTrj-fiai., opt.
KIKTTJO, KtKTrJTO (for K£KT7^l-/i7Jl', KfKTT^lO, K(KTr)-L-To), etC.; KCKTW/1TIV, KtKTWO, KtKTWTO (for Ke.KTr)O-L-firjV, etc.) ; SO fj

2. The forms in wfirjv belong to the common form of inflection (with the thematic vowel); those in i)ixrfv, etc. and vro have the fu-iovm (740).

The second aorist optative of fy, have, is trxoiijv, but the regular o^oi/it is used in composition.
736. A very few relics remain of an older active optative with v for mi in the first person singular; as rpi^oi-v for Tpi<) id="iv.i.p6201.1">oi-iu, dpAproi-v for a/idpTOi-/ii (from a/xapTdi^w).
737. {Contract Verbs.) In the present active of contract verbs, forms in irj-v, M7-5, irj, etc., contracted with the thematic vowel o to oirjv, oojs, on;, etc., are much more common in the singular than the regular forms in oi/xi, ots, 01, but they seldom occur in the dual and plural.

745. A few second perfect optatives of the /u-fonn are made by adding- i-q-v to stems in a-; as Tidvat-qv (for Tttfva-iTj-v), iaraujv (508). See the enumeration of /u-l'orms, 804.
IMPERATIVE.
746. (Common Form.) The present and the second aorist active and middle of the common form have the thematic vowel c (o before ^tow), to which the imperative endings (55:3) are affixed. But the second person singular in the active has no ending; in the middle it drops a in ao and contracts c-o to on. E.g.
Aei7re, Xeive-rw, Xcltti-tov, Xu-rri-ruiv, Xe.lire.-Ti, X«i7ro-vrXuirov, cnri-avui, kuirtaOov, Xe.nri-a6
747. Tlie first aorist active and middle are also irregular in the second person singular, where the active has a termination ov and the middle at for final a of the stein. In other persons they add the regular endings to the stem in ca- (or a-). E.g.
AScro)/, Xvoa-ru), Adou-toi-, Xvctvl-tidv, Xiaa.-T(, Xvcrd-vrwv; ACcrcu, Xv
748. The perfect active is very rare, except in a few cases of the /<(-fonii (503) with a present meaning. But Aristophanes has

749. The third person singular of the perfect passive is the only form of perfect imperative in common use; for this see 1274.
750. N. The spcnnd person singular of the middle occasionally occurs as an emphatic form; as ttittoaicto-, stop.'
751. N. The perfect imperative in all voices can be expressed by the perfect participle and "aOt, iaroi, etc. (imperative of tifii, be); as (.'iprf/xtvov Ioto), for dprivduiy let it have been said (i.e. let what has been said stand), Tre.mi.up.tvoi. icmov, suppose them to have been persuaded.

753. The present active commonly omits 6i in the second person, and lengthens the preceding vowel of the stem (a, c, o, or v) to rj, «, ou, or v; as ZvT-q, tlOcl, SlBov, and HtUvv. The other persons add the regular endings (553) to the short stem; as iord-r, lara-ri, urrirvrtov; ti61-tu> ; 8i8o-rt;
754. The present middle of verbs in 77/11 and o>px has the regular form in a-o, and also poetic forms in
755. 1. In the second aorist active the stem vowel is regularly long (rj, u>, v), except before vtwv (553), and di is retained in the second person singular. E.g.

2. But we have s for 81 in 6U (from riSy/xi), S05 (from St'Soi/ii), « (from iyiixl), and o"xw)- These verbs have the short vowel in all persons; as &h, Oi-rui, 8e-rc, 8(-vtu>v ; 80s, 86-to), 8Z6-vtu>v.
3. 2rrj8i. and -/3^i have poetic forms ord and /3a, used only in composition ; as Kara-fid, come down, irapa-vTa., sland near.
756. 1. In the second aorist middle, a-o drops o- in the second person singular after a short vowel, and contracts that vowel with 0. E.g.
"E7rpia.iJ.rjv, wpiaao (poet.), TrpCw (for trpui-o), (8tp.rjv, 8ov (for {-cro, Sc-o) , tSufxtjv, Sou (for Su-cjo, 8oo). But epic St'fo (8
2. The other persons have the regular endings (553); as Ad; dl-crdw, di-aduiv', ho-a8u>, 86-cr8e., Bo-crOwv.
757. 1. The first aorist passive adds the ordinary active endings (6l, ™, etc) directly to 6c- (8rj-) of the tense stem (707) after which 61 becomes n (95, 2); as Xv&i-n, Xv8rj-Tu>, etc.
2. The second aorist passive adds the same terminations

v6t-VT01V, jxive-VTblV,
758. N. A few second perfects of the /u-fonn have imperatives in Ol: see 6vrj
INFINITIVE.
759. (Common Form.) The present, second aorist, and future active add «/ to the tense stem, the thematic vowel (here always t-) being contracted with iv to uv; as Acyay

760. N. The ending tv (without preceding e) appears in Doric; as yapv-tv in Pindar (Attic yrjpvav).
761. N. For contract presents in av (not pe) for aav, and ow for o'«^, see 39, 5.
762. N. The second aorist in tlv is probably contracted from i-tv, not from i-uv (759).
763. The first aorist active substitutes ai (of uncertain origin) for final a of the tense stem (669) ; as Xvaai,
764. The perfect active substitutes i-voi for final a of the
tense Stem; as XcXux-t'-i/ai, y«ypa<£-£-vai, Trtfy-qv-i-vai, e 1w-t-vai.
765. 1. The infinitive middle adds a&u to the tense stem in the present, future, and first and second aorists. E.g.

'I(TTa-vai, Ti6e-vai, SiSo-rai, Sukvv-vm, o-nj-vai., yi/ai-kai, SO-vat, TiOvd-vat, Xv&ij-vat (707),
2. In the second aorist active the final vowel of the stem is regularly long (678; 755, 1); as 'a-rrj^i (a-ra-), crrrj-vai;

PAKTIOII'I.KS AND VEKHALS IN TO9 AND T6OS.
770. All active tenses (except the perfect) and both aorists passive add vt to their tense stem to form the stein of the participle. Stems in ovt of the common form have nominatives in w; those of the jw-foi'in have nominatives iti ou<;. E.g.
Ae'yw. pres. Xiyo-yr-, nom. Xeyw, fut. Xc$ovt-, nom. Ae'£u»/; 1 aor. Xi£a-vr-, nom. Ac'£as. 4>uiVa>: aor.

823. (Primitives and Denominatives.) (a) Nouns or adjectives formed dij'fctly h-om a root {153) or from a verb stem are called primitives; as ip^rj (stem apx*-), beginning, from

824. Nouns, adjectives, and verbs formed from the stems of nouns or adjectives, are called denominatives; as /?am-Xcia, kingdom, from /3ao-iXt(n)- (263); dp^aios, ancient, from "PX"~ (stem of dpxv); SucauKrvyrj, justice, from Sikcuo-; Tl/xd-w, honor, from Ti/ia-, stem of the noun rTfuj.
825. N. (1) The name vcrba! is often applied to primitive words, because generally their root or stem actually occurs as a verb stem. This, however, (loss not show that the noun or adjective is derived from the verb, but merely that both have the same root or stem.

826. (Suffixes.) Roots or steins are developed into new stems by the addition of syllables (not themselves steins) called suffixes. Thus, in the examples in 823, final a- in

I. FORMATION OF NOUNS.
PRIMITIVE NOUNS.
832. The simplest and most common suffixes in nouns are o-(nom. os or ov) and d- (nom. a or 77). Nouns thus formed have a great variety of meanings. The change of t to 0 (8iJl) is here regular. K.g.
Adyo-s (Aoy-o-), speech, from Aey-, stem of Ae'yu> (831); TpoVos, turn, from rpc-rr- (slum of rpl-noi, turn); ordAos, expedition, and arokr), equipment, from send) ; tui-rj (M"X"a")> htatle, from p.a^- (stem of naopji.i, ftyht).

I. FIRST PART OF A COMPOUND WORD.
871. 1. When the first part of a compound is a noun or adjective, only its stein appears in the compound.
2. Before a consonant, stems of the first declension generally change final d to o; those of the second declension retain o; and those of the third add o. Before a vowel, stems of the first and second declensions drop d or o. E.g.
®aacr(jo-Kpo.Twp (6a.ao-cra-), ruler of the sea, xopo-8i8aoxaAos (ofio-), chorus-teacher, TraiSo-Tpt'/iijs (ttcuS-), trainer of boys, K«f>a-aXyTjs (n(
872. N. There are many exceptions. Sometimes rj takes the place of o; as xoy'^bpo* (x<"i id="iv.i.p6845.1"> libation), bringer of libations, ta
873. Compounds of which the first part is the stem of a verb are chiefly poetic.
1. Mere the verbal stein sometimes appears without change before a vowel, and with t, i, or o added before a consonant. E.g.
V(.i6-apo<;, obedient to authority; /xti/-t-7rToAt/iOS, steadfast in battle; apX'l~T*KTUV> waster-builder; Xw-o-ya/ios, marriage-leavinrj (adulterous).
2. Sometimes cri (before a vowel c) is added to the verb stem. E.g.
Au-ov7roi>os, toil-relieving; oTpetp!-$i.KO<; (
874. 1. A preposition or an adverb may be the first part of a compound word; as in -rrpo-llaXXw, throw before (882, 1), aci-Xoyld, continual talking, tv-yev^s, well-lorn.
2. Here no change of form occurs, except when a final vowel is elided, or when irpo contracts o with a following « or o into ov, as in TTpovxw (vpd, €x<"), hold before; vpovpyov (irpo, Zpyov), forward, <$pov&o<; (irpo, 6SoC), gone (93).

II. LAST PART OF A COMPOUND WORD.
878. At, the beginning of the last part of a compound noun or adjective, a, t, or o (unless it is long by position) is very often lengthened to -q or w. Eg.
2TpuT-Y)yos ((rrpuTO-s, ayoi), general; W-^koo? (i)7ro, aKOvw), obedient; KaT-yjpi
879. The last part of a compound noun or adjective is often changed in form before the suffix. This takes place especially in compound adjectives, and when an abstract noun forms the last part of a compound noun. E.g.
0tAo-Tt/xos (rc/x>/), honor-loving ; e<-
880. N. An abstract noun comjiounded with a preposition may retain its form, as irpo-ffov-/i, fornhfjuyht-

2. The last part may be formed from a verb stem; as <5-<£av-»?s (4>ay), unseen, ^fn-Bavrjs {dav), half-dead.
882. 1. A compound verb can be formed directly only by prefixing a preposition to a verb; as Trpoa-ayw, bring to.
2. Indirect compounds (denominatives) are formed from compound nouns or adjectives. E.g.
Ai0o£JoAt'u), throw stones, tlenom. from A.i#o-/3o'Ao?, stone-thrower; vop.odiTito, make laws, from vo^o-^cVrjs, lav;-maker; avu6(ti>, disoliey, from uTm&js, disobedient; KUTrjyopcw, uccuse, from KuT-^yopos (878), accuser. See 543.
III. MEANING OF COMPOUNDS.
883. Compound nouns and adjectives are of three classes, distinguished by the relation of the parts of the compound to each other and to the whole.
884. (1) Objective compounds are those composed of a noun and a verb, adjective, or preposition, in which the noun (as first; or second part) stands to the other part in some relation (commonly that of object) which could be expressed by an oblique case of the noun. E.g.
Aoyo-ypd ); picr-avdpumos, man-hatint/ (fwru)v avdptlmowi); v
885. M. Wlien tlnj last part of an objective compound is a transitive verbal in 05 formed by Die suffix 0 (83'2), it generally accents tlic penult if this is s/wrt, otherwise tlio last syllable. But if the last part is intransitive or passive (in sense), il>c accent is recessive. TI1U6 oyo-ypd
886. (2) Determinative compounds are nouns or adjectives in which the first part, generally as adjective or adverb, qualifies (or determines) the second part. E.g.
195 |
889] MEANING OF COMPOUNDS. 195
Ak/)07toAis, citadel (axpa 7ro'A(s); /xicr-riiiflpia (p-tarj fjixtpa, 60), mid-tlay; i//£vSo-/xuim$, false prophet; o/id-8ouAos, fellow-slave (bfioii hovXtvtou) ; 8ucr-/iaSr}?, learning with difficulty; gjku-Wtj;?, swift-flying; T7po-(iov j, forethought; dftfa-Ocarpov, amphitheatre (theatre extending all round); a-ypa^ot, unwritten. Here belong adjectives like/xtAi-77877s (i)8w?), honey-sweet, 'Aprji-Ooo-;, swift as Arcs (Ares-swift).
887. N. Here belong a few compounds sometimes called copulative, made of two nouns or two adjectives, mid signifying:i combination of the two tilings or qualities. Strictly, the first part limits the last, like an adjective or adverb. Such are laTpb-ixa.in«, phiisiciuit-prupUet (a prophet who is also a physician); (ccpo-Maxa'pa, stvord-sabre; avipb-Trau, man-child; yv*v-TriKp
888. (3) Possessive or attributive compounds are adjectives in which the first part qualifies the second (as in determinatives), and the whole denotes a quality or attribute belonging to some person or thing. E.g.
*Apyupd-ro£o5, with silver-bow (apyvpovv to£.ov twv); KaKO-iai/xoiv, ill-fated (Kaicur Suijuovu t^wi/); TUKpo-yafios, wretchedly married (irixpov yd.iJ.ov toiv); o/xo-i/ofiof, hai'iny the same laws; exuToy-Kf'^uAos, hundred-headed; Stxa-CTTys, of ten years (duration); dyu^o-ciS^s, having the appearance (C1809) of good; tv-Oeos, inspired (having God within); (OKV-7TO1)?, swift-footed (ojxeis ttoSu? f^wi'), — but ttoS-uikjjs (wdSus
889. N. In compound verbs, the original verb remains the fundamental part, modified more or less in meaning by the preposition prefixed. Other compounds Mian those here mentioned present, no difficulties in respect to meaning.

PART IV.
SYNTAX.
DEFINITIONS.
890. (Subject and Predicate.') Every sentence must contain two parts, a subject and a. predicate. The subject is that of which something is stated. The predicate is that which is stated of the subject. Thus in the sentence Aapeio*; fiacriXevti rcav Hepcrcov, Darius is king of the Persians, Aapeto? is the subject and fiacriXevet twv TlepcrS)v is the predicate.
891. 1. When any part of elfj.!, he, connects the subject with a following noun or adjective, the verb is called the copula (i.e. means of coupling), and what follows is called the predicate; as Aapuoi tori jSacriXcvs, Darius is king, HoXuiv larl
2. Elfu, however, can form a complete predicate, as in dal Otot, Gods exist.
892. (Object.') That upon which the action of a verb is exerted is called the object. The object may be either direct or indirect: thus, in e'Sw/ce to. ■^ptj/j.ara toj avSpi, he gave the money to the man, ^prjfiara is the direct object and avhpi is the indirect (or remote) object.
893. Verbs which can have a direct object are called transitive; those which cannot are called intransitive.

SUBJECT AND PREDICATE. SUBJECT.
894. The subject of a finite verb (446) is in the nominative; as 6 dufjp tfXOev, the man came.
895. 1. The subject of the infinitive is in the accusative ; as
2. But the subject of the infinitive is generally omitted when it is the same as the subject or the object (direct or indirect) of the leading verb; as ftovXeTai d.Tredelv, he wishes to yo away; <$ id="iv.i.p6904.1">rj
3. So when it is the same wit,]) any important adjunct of the leading verb ; as Kanovpyov earl KpSivr airoOavut', it is like a malefactor to die by sentence of the law (928, 2), 1). 4,47.
896. The subject nominative of the first or second person is omitted, except when special emphasis is required.
897. The nominative of the third person is omitted : —
1. When it is expressed or implied in the context; as 6 Kvipos 7rpa(T
2. When it is a general word for persons; as Xtyovcri, they sat/, it is said;
3. When it. is indefinite; as in 6pl rjv, it was late; koQ>% «^ > !( is well; Sr)oi, it is evident (the case shovx) : so in the impersonal construction with the verbal in tcoc, as in vnaTtov (cor!) ra vo/xw, we must obey the law (1597).
4. When the verb implies its own subject, as tcqpvacrci, the herald (Kqpi£) proclaims, icrdTny$(, the trumpeter sounded (he trumpet, KiuXvci, a hindrance occurs. In passive expressions like Trap«TKCv-o.ctto.1 /jLoi, preparation has been made by vie (/ am prepared), th< id="iv.i.p6911.1"> subject is really the idea of preparation etc. contained in the verb. See 1240.
5. With verbs like v(i,. it rains, ao-rpa-nrti, it lightens, aiia, there is an earthquake (it shales), where, however, some subject like Zews or $i6was originally supplied.
898. Many verbs in the third person singular have an infinitive or a sentence as their subject. These are called impersonal

verbs. Such are irpi-nu and irpoarfKU, it is proper, ivcan and l£i
The name impersonal is applied with greater propriety (though less frequently) to the verbs of 897, 3 and 4.
SUBJECT NOMINATIVE AND VEHB.
899. 1. A verb agrees with its subject nominative in number and person; as (tyw) Xeyw, 1 say, outo? eyei, this man says, oi avhpes Xeyouaiv, the men say.
2. But a nominative in the neuter plural regularly takes a singular verb; as tavra eytvero, these things happened, ra oiKtjfiaTa erreaev, the buildings fell. So ahvvard tan (pr dSvvarov ecrTt), it is impossible.
Exceptions sometimes occur, especially with nouns denoting persons. Several are found in Xenophon; as in yl.1,71'.
900. A singular collective noun denoting persons may take a plural verb; as to Tr?i9o<; iyjrrj
901. N. When several subjects are. connected by and, they generally have a plural verb. Hut the verb may agree with one of Hie subjects (generally the nearest), and be understood with the rest. The -latter generally happens when they are connected by or or nor. E.g.
l.o
902. N. If the subjects are of different persons, the verb is in the first person rather than thft second or third, and in the second rather than the third. (See examples under 901.)
903. N. A verb in the dual may follow two subjects in the singular, or even a plural subject denoting two persons or things. But even a subject in the dual may have a verb in the plural. (See II. 4, 453; 5, 10, 275; 10, 218.)

910] PREDICATE NOUN AND AD.IECTIVK. igg
904. N. Sometimes a verb agrees with the predicate nominative; as a! 8e ila
905. N. Rarely a singular verb lias a masculine or feminine subject in the plural; as «m 81 (ttto. otuSioi *'£ 'A/?v8ou cs t^v rxTrajrcW, a?J6? (Ais a distance of seven stades from Abydos to the opposite coast, Hd.7,34. In such cases the plural form often seems to have arisen from an afterthought, especially when the subject follows the verb.
See also the phrases ianv ot etc., 1029.
906. N. A preposition with a numeral ir.ay represent the subject of a verb; as airidavov avrwy vtpl TpiuKoaiovs, about three hundred of them perished, X.HA,C>n.
PREDICATE NOUN AND ADJECTIVE.
907. With verbs signifying to be, to become, to appear, to be named, chosen, made, thought, or regarded, and the like, a noun or adjective in the predicate is in the same case as the subject. U.g.
Ourds
908. The verbs which are here included with the copula il/il (8!)1, 1) are called copulative verbs. The predicate nominative with the passive verbs of this class represents the predicate accusative of the active construction (1077).
909. The predicate adjective, with these verbs agrees with the subject in gender and number, as well as in case. (See 019.)
910. The predicate of an infinitive with its subject accusative expressed (895, 1) is in the accusative; as j3ovcrai rbv vlhv tiwu cro
For such a predicate with the subject omitted, see 927 and 928.

APPOSITION.
911. A noun annexed to another noun to describe it, and denoting the same person or thing, agrees with it in case. This is called apposition, and the noun thus used is called an appositive. E.g.
Aapfio? 6 ftacnXtv*;, Darius the king. 'A6fjvai, fxtydX-q iroA.cs, A (hens, a great city. 'Y^ias tovs cro^om. you, the wise ones. 'WpZiv Tail/ ' hOrjvaiuiv, of us, the Athenians. ®Cfuo~TOK
js rjxw (so. (yu>) napa
912. N. A noun in apposition with two or more nouns is generally plural (or dual); as virvos ■n6vo% re, xvpioi £ve/idrsleep and toil, lordly conspirators, A.Eu. 127; Oappos ko.1
913. N. An adjective may have a genitive in apposition with a genitive which it implies; as 'Affyvaios wv, TroXtuii r^s ixcyicrT-rj'i, being (a citizen) of Athens, the greatest city, l'.Ap.2'Ji.
For a genitive in apposition with the genitive implied in a possessive pronoun, see 10(11.
914. K. A noun which might stand in the partitive genitive (10S8) sometimes takes the case of the words denoting its parts, especially when the latter include the whole of the former; as oJki'cu. al /xlv 7roAAcu viVTuiKeaav, oAtyat Si irepifjaav, most of the houses had fallen, but a few remained (where we might have ru>v olxiCiv), T.I, 89. So ovtol aAAos dAAa Xcya, these men all say different things, X.A.2,115. This is called partitive apposition.
915. N. A noun may be in apposition with a whole sentence, being in the nominative when it is closely connected in thought with the subject of the sentence, elsewhere in the accusative; as kuvtolL 7rC(7ovTt9, irtoris oi
916. X. A noun may be in apposition with the subject or the object of a sentence, where we use as or a like word; as "ttvol ■tjyovro Ovfia. to 'HAc'w, horses were brought as an offering to the Sun (in active, Zttttovs ayav 6vfm, to bring horses as an offering), X. C.S, 312; l£t
; as teachers of what arc you come? P. Eu.287*. See 1080.

821J AGREEMENT OF ADJECTIVES. 201
917. N. Homer often adds an appositive denoting a part to a noun or pronoun denoting a person; as ArjwjriTijv ovtojtiv Zpov, he wounded I), in the shoulder, II. 11,420; 6M.' ouk 'ArpeiSr] 'Aya-fitfxvovL rjvSavt 6v/x(Z, but he was not pleasing to the heart of Agamemnon, son o/Atreus (lit. to A., his heart), II. 1,24.
For 6 St in Homer followed by a noun in apposition, see 937,1.
AGREEMENT OF ADJECTIVES.
918. Adjectives agree with their nouns in gender, number, and case. This applies also to the article and to adjective pronouns and participles. E.g.
'O
This includes predicate adjectives with copulative verbs, the case of which has already been considered (007); as al apwrai SoKoCcrat tlvai (^xxreis, the natures which seem to be best, X.M.i, I3.
919. The adjective may be either attributive or predicate. An attributive adjective simply qualifies the noun, without the intervention of any verbal form (like all the adjectives in 918, except apio-Tdi). The predicate adjective may bo connected with its noun by the copula (80)) or by a copulative verb (008); as 6 avrip aya@6s io~rii', the yuan is yood: kuXutcu dya#ds, he is called good. It may stand to its noun in any relation which implies some part of tlfil; as TTTrjya'; &wk«c ras i tbx<;, you are pursuing hopes which are winged (i.e. hopes being winged), E. f2'ag. 273; aBavarov tyjv fjLyq/j.r]v KaraXuipovo-iv, immortal is the memory they will lcat>e behind them (i.e.
T7JV /iV7J/A7)l/ OVCTO.V 6.06.VQ.TOv), 1.9,3; TTOMX TOVS Mj^SoVJ &fr9tVtli,
he makes the Medes (to be) weak. Every adjective which is not attributive is classed as a predicate.
A predicate adjective is often known by its position with respect to the article; see 971, and the examples.
920. N. A collective noun in the singular denoting persons may take a plural participle; as Tpoc'av fXovrts 'Apytiuiv oroAo?, the Argives' army having taken Troy, A. Ag. 577.
921. N. An adjective may conform to the real rather than the grammatical gender of a. noun denoting a person; as <£iXe tIkvov, dear child! iZ.22,84.
202 |
202 SYNTAX. [922
922. N. Avo, two, is often used with a plural noun; as cvpoi Svo irkidpwv (1085, 5), of two plelhra in breadth, X. AA,2™.
923. N. An attributive adjective belonging to several nouns generally agrees with the nearest or the most prominent one, and is understood with the rest; as tov kuAov xa.ya.9ov avSpa kthe honorable man and woman, P. (7.470'; ttuvtI ko.1 Adyu> nal /xij^ovij1, by every word and device.
924. N. (a) A predicate, adjective (like a verb, 901) is regularly plural if it belongs to several singular nouns, or dual if it belongs to two. If the nouns are of different genders, tlie adjective is commonly masculine if one of the nouns denotes a male person, and commonly neuter if all denote things. Thus, eT8t ■naripa re Kut fxrjrepa /cut dSiX
(b) But it sometimes follows both the gender and number of the nearest or most prominent noun; as irp6ppL^o<; auros, r] yvvrj, tu TratSt'a, kiIkutt' avoolfJLr]v, may I perish most wretchedly root and branch, myself, mi/ wife, my children, Ar. W.")S7.
925. N. A masculine or feminine noun in the singular, denoting si class rather than an individual, may have a neuter predicate adjective, which is used as a noun; as xav 17 dA^&ia, a beautiful thing is truth, P. Ly. CiG'.l"; aOdvarov dpa rj i/'i'X1?' Js l?le sou^ Oten immortal (an immortal thing)? I'.Ph. 105°.
926. N. A predicate adjective is sometimes used where we should use an adverb or adverbial pi 1 rase; as (kovtc; yXOov, they came willingly; opxios St aoi Atyw, 1 say it to you on my oath, S. A n. •'i0-ri; TTfiuiTO<; S' i£(.piuvc Ntarcop, and first, Nestor inquired, Jl.]0,o4!i. There is often, however, a great distinction between the adjective and the adverb; as irpiros avroi": tISov, I was the first to SfiP thnn ; nptjjr ovs aiVov? flSov, they were the Jirzt whom I saw; irpwroy (adv.) avrovi iZSov, first (o( all that I die!) 1 saw them.
ADJECTIVES BELONGING TO THE OMITTED SUBJECT OF AN INFINITIVE.
927. When the subject of an infinitive is omitted because it is tlie same as the subject nominative of the leading verb (895, 2), adjective words and nouns which would agree
203 |
928] OMITTED SUBJECT OF AN INFINITIVE. 203
with the omitted subject are assimilated to the preceding nominative. E.g.
BouXerai <70
928. But when the subject of an infinitive is omitted because it is the same as the object or other adjunct (895, 3) of the leading verb, —
1. If this adjunct is a dative, adjective words and nouns may either be assimilated to the dative, or stand in the accusative in agreement with the omitted subject of the infinitive. E.g.
IlpfVti
2. If the adjunct is a genitive, predicate adjectives are generally assimilated to it; but other adjective words and all nouns stand in the. accusative. E.g.
Kupou tStoiro ws 7rpo6vp.OTa.T0v yivL
204 |
204 SYNTAX. [929
929. Words in the construction of 928 •which refer to a preceding accusative are of course in the accusative; as dAAovs 7ror«Ka arvfj.fjiaOrjTai'; fwi
930. N. The principles of 927 and 928 apply also to a predicate with <* id="iv.i.p6984.1">v or with the participle of a copulative verb; as rj&tvav ao
931. N. When an infinitive depends on a participle which supplies its omitted subject, predicate words take the case of the participle; as rjK&ov iwi Tiva ruiv BoKOVvrtav tlvai (ro
ADJECTIVE USED AS A NOUN.
932. 1. An adjective or participle, generally with the article, may bo used as a noun. E.g.
'O oYkcuos, the just man; 6 t'^pos, the enemy; ol ypaij/dfjavoL H,u)Kpa.Tr]v, the accusers of Socrates.
2. In some cases, a noun is distinctly implied; as rrj vo-rcpaia (sc. Tjfiipa.), on the next day; rj St^id (sc. X^P)' ^ie rl9^lt- hand; 17 tideia (sc. 680?), the straight road; o aKparos (sc. otyos), unmixed wine; rrjv id.vr£>v (sc. yijv), into their own land.
933. The neuter singular of an adjective with the article is often used as an abstract noun; as to koXoV, beauty
(= KaAXos), to SiKaiov, justice (= Sikcuoo-wi;).
934. N. The pavticiple, which is a verbal adjective, is occasionally thus used for the infinitive, which is a verbal noun; as to SeSios,/e«r (=to Se8t«Vai), T.I,36; cV tcu fir; (jlcXctCivtl, in the want of practice (in the not practising) (= iv tu> firj (icktrav), T. 1,142. So in Latin, opus est maturato, there is need of haste.
THE ARTICLE.
HOMTSRIC USE OF THE ARTICLE.
935. In Homer the article appears generally as a demon-
205 |
939] HOMERIC USE OF TIIE ARTICLE. 205
strative or personal pronoun; sometimes (in the forms beginning with t) as a relative. E.g.
Tjji> 8' tyoi oi Aixro), but I will not free her, 11.1,29; tov Si kAix 4>oi/itos 'A-wokXiuv, and Phoebus Apollo heard him, II. 1,43; 6 yap r)6i 6oas (ttl vrja<; 'A^aiaii', for he came to the swift ships of the Achaeans, //. 1,12. As relative, irvpa. iroXXa to. kolUto, many fires which were burning, 11.10,12; Swpa ra oi £eiv(K Swift, gifts which a stranger gave him, Od. 21,13.
936. N. Even in Homer, adjectives and participles used as nouns (932, 1) have the article, as in Attic Greek; as ol yap apurroi iv vnvo-lv Ktarat, for the bravest sit by the ships, II. 11,658; oi dAAot, the others; to. t' torra ra r icrcro/jLtva, both things that are and things that are to be, II. 1,70.
937. 1. When the article is used with nouns in Homer, it is generally a pronoun (especially 6 St), with which the noun is in apposition; as 6 S' (/Spa^e ^oXkcoj 'Aprji, and he, brazen Ares, roared, 11.5,859 ; rj 8' atKovcr afia toicti yvvrj kuv, and she, the woman, went with them unwilling, 11.1,348.
2. Nearer the Attic use of the article, are examples like these: avrtxp 6 roicrt yipwv b&bv ^ye/xovf-vtv, but he, the old man, showed them the way, Od. 24,22o; tov 8" olov irurtp' ivpov, and they found him, the father, alone, ib. 220.
3. Hardly, if at all, to be distinguished from the Attic article is that found in examples like these : ore Srj ttjv vqcrov a&KOfxtO', when now we came to the island, Od. 9,543; to re cr&Vos 'ftpiWos, and the might of Orion, II. 18,480 ; al St -ywcuKe? tcrra/iitwat Oav/M^oy, and the women stood and wondered, II. 18,495.
4. It is, therefore, often difficult to decide the exact force of an article in early Greek. The above examples show a gradual transition, even in Homer, from the original pronoun to the true definite article.
938. N. The examples in 937, 3, are exceptional; and in such cases the nouns usually stand without the article in Homer, as in Latin. Thus Scivt; St Kkayyt) yivtT apyvpioio ftidio, and terrible came the clang from the silver bow, II. 1,49, would in Attic Greek require r/ KAayyij and tov jiiov.
939. Herodotus generally uses the forms of the article beginning with t in the place of the ordinary relative, — of which he uses only the forms os, 17, oi, and a", except after prepositions. Thus aAAos opvis Ipos, tw ovvofM <&olvi4, another sacred bird, whose name is Phoenix, 2, 73. In other respects, he uses the article as it is used in Attic prose.
206 |
206 SYNTAX, [940
940. N. The lyi-ic poets follow the Homeric usage with respect to the article more closely than Herodotus; and the tragic poets, especially in the lyric chorus, admit the Homeric use of the article as a relative or a personal pronoun.
ATTIC USE OF THE ARTICLE.
941. In Attic Greek the article generally corresponds to our article the; as 6 dv>'ip, the man-; tcov TroXecov, of the citiex; toi? "EWtjctiv, to the Greeks; to. 8e>ca er>?, the (well known) ten years (at Troy), T. 1,11.
942. The Greek may use the article in certain cases in which the English omits it. Such are the following (943-951): —
943. Proper names may take the article; as 6 luKpar-q': or 2u)Kpax)j9, Socrates.
944. Abstract nouns often take the. article; as rj iptrrj. virtue, ij 8ik
945. 1. Xoutis qualified by a demonstrative pronoun regularly take; the article; as outo? <-'• avr/p, this mun; iv raiirSi rats iroXtaiv, in these cities. (For the position, see 974.)
2. JSnt this article may be omitted with proper names, as ovtos Ntoji ToAe/iO?, this Neoptolemus, D. 18,114; also where the demonstrative is equivalent to here or there, us opw/xcv oAt-youi toi'tous avdphmovs, v-e see few men here, X. /1.4,75; so ovrocrl avtjp, this man here, and outo? avrip used contemptuously; see also vrj^ ixuvai iirarXtovm, ships are sailing up yonder, T. 1,51.
3. The tragedians often omit this article with demonstratives.
946. 1. Nouns with a possessive pronoun take the article when they refer to definite, individuals, but not otherwise; as o «>os irarrip, my father, 6
2. So also with nouns on which a possessive genitive of a personal, demonstrative, or reflexive pronoun depends; as 6 irar-qp p.ov, my father; o ifaavrov Trarrjp, my own father; 6 tovtwv Trarrjp, their father ; y tavroiv yrj, their own land. But 7r«?s eavrov, a child of his own.
947. Toiovtos, ToaoCros, roiocrSt, Toaocr&e. and ttjXikovtos may take the article; as tov toiovtov avtipa, such a man. It is always used with Suva, such a one (420).
207 |
954] ATTIC USE OF THE ARTICLE. 207
948. A numeral may have the article, (a) to distinguish a part of a number; (b) to express a round number, especially with a/x
949. The article is often used, where we use a possessive pronoun, to mark something as belonging to a person or thing mentioned in the sentence; as?px*Tal o-vn) T€ 17 Mav&dvn 7rpos tov irartpa xai toi' Kvpov ■ 6v viov t^oucra, Mandane comes to her father (lit. to the father) herself, and with her son Cyrus, X. C. 1,3'.
950. The article may have a generic force, marking' an object as the representative of a class; as 6 ui/tfpwros, man (in general); oi ylpovTi<;, the aged (as a class).
951. The article sometimes has a distributive force, where we. should use each or a; as v7no~)(y<.'lTai hwcrtiv rpla rjfjj.8apet.Ka. tov p.rjvo'; ™ crrpixTuoTrj, he promises to give three half-darics a mouth to each soldier, X.A.l,'6v.
952. 1. An adverb, a preposition with its case, or any similar expression, may be used with the article to qualify a noun, like an attributive adjective; as ol totc avOponroi, the men of that time; rox> irdkui KuS/iou, of ancient Cadmus, S. O.T. 1 ; 01 cV iJuto 'AOrjvaloi., the Athenians in the city.
2. Here a noun denoting men or things is often omiiU'd ; as 01 iv derm, those in the city ; tois totc, to those of that time; ol aft l Md-tcwu, those about Plato (generally Plain and his school, or simply Pluto).
953. The nouns yq, land, vpdy/xaTa, things or affairs, tuds, son, and .sometimes other nouns which are readily suggested by the context, may be omitted after the article, when a qualifying adjective or genitive is added ; as cl<; ryv iavTwy (so. yrjv), to their own land; £k t)/s TrtpioiKiSos, from the neighboring country; to. t^s no-Xtifi'i, the affairs of the stale ; ra tuJk woAe/iiW, what belongs to the enemy; ITtpiKA^ 6 SMShnrov (sc. vlik), Pericles, the son of Xan-thippus; t^i/ rn)(icrTr)v (sc. 68ov), the quickest way. Expressions like ra (or to) t^s Ti^s, Ta t^s opy^s, with no definite nouns understood, sometimes do not differ from Ti'x>?, Fortune, and vpyyj, wrath.
954. Instead of repeating a noun with new adjuncts in the same bentence, it may be sufficient to repeat i!s article; as 01 twc ttoitu>v 7rai8ts Kai ol twv dXAiov, the children of the citizens and those of the others.

2. In like manner, a neuter article may precede a whole clause considered as a noun; as to yvu)6i o-avrov iravra^ov 'an xprj

A predicate noun or adjective seldom has the article; as vvt; ij finiprj iyive.ro, the day became night, Hd. 1,103; koXiitcu. rj aKpoTToXis en vk 'KOr^vaiuiv 7ro'Ats, the citadel is still called " city " by the Athenians, T. 2, lo. So when it has a possessive pronoun; as oJtos ifjuis «Taipos i^v, he was my companion, V. Ap. 21*.
Hut when the predicate refers definitely to distinct persons or things, it may have the article; as dal b" ovtoi ol ciSoVts toXt;^; and are these those (whom I mean) who know the truth ? P. H. AI.284*.
957. N. Bao-tAtu? is generally used without the article to designate the king of Persia; as rourous airoirf/jLTrti. /3ao-iA.ft, he sends these to the King, T. 1,128. But the article is sometimes found: compare 1.4,166 and 179. So sometimes /xcyas /3ao-(.A.cik ; as f*
958. N. The article is often omitted in some familiar expressions of time and place, which are probably older than the Attic use of the article; as ajun ?< id="iv.i.p7036.1">), at daybreak; wkto's, by night; apo. rjpi, at the opening of spring; iv ayopa, in the market-place; ko.t' aypov, in the country; Kara yrjv, by land; Kara GaXao-trav, by sea ; ix Sepias- from the right; etc.
POSITION OF THE ARTICLE.
959. {Attributive Position.') 1. An attributive adjective which qualifies a noun with the article commonly stands between the article and the noun; as 6
2. The noun with the article may be followed by the adjective with the article repeated. The first article is sometimes omitted. In these cases the noun has greater emphasis than in the preceding form (1). U.g.

079] POSITION OF THE ARTICLE. 211
973. The position of such an adjective (971) with reference to the article is called the predicate position.
974. A noun qualified by a demonstrative pronoun regularly takes the. article, and the pronoun stands in the predicate position (971). E.g.
0£>to5 o avTjp, this man, or 6 avqp ouros (never 6 oJtos avr/p). ilipl tovtuiv rw jrdA.etui', about these cities. (See 1)45, 1-3.)
975.. N. Hut if an adjoetive or other qualifying word is added, the demonstrative may stand between this and its noun; as r) arcvyj O.VT7] 0805, this narrow roail, X..4.4,26; t<3 afjuKOfxivio tovtw ftVw, to this stranger who has come, V.Pr.'6Ulb. (See 977, 2.)

A dependent genitive of the personal pronoun (whether partitive or not) has the predicate position (971), while (.hat of other pronouns (unless it is partitive) lias the first attributive position (i),')9, 1); as rj/xQiv i tcJAi? or ij toXis i/^oii/, < id="iv.i.p7065.1">w city (not 1) t]fj.uiv Tro'Atij); rj tovtiov ttoAi?, these men's city (not r] iroAi? tou'-tuiv); /j-iTfirt/jLipuTO 'A
2. Hut if a qualifying word is added, the persona) pronoun may stand between this and the noun; as rj SoKowa ij/xdy -xpoTtpov auxjipoavvr], what previously seemed to be our modesty, T. 1,32. (See 975.)
978. 1. The adjectives aKpos, /xtVos, and to^ai-os, when they are in the predicate position (971), mean the top (or extremity), the middle, the lust, of the thing which their nouns denote; as »; ayopa /i«'o-)j or /xivq y] ayopd, the middle of the market (while ij p-iot] ayopa. would mean the middle market) ; a«pa 1) xct'p> ''ie extremity of the hand.
2. When no article is used, as in the older poetry, the context inu.^t decide the meaning. Compare summits, medius, extrcmus, and ultimus in Latin.
979. Ua<; and uufxTras, all, and oAos, whole, generally have the predicate position; as tto.vt(.<; ot dv8pe<; or ol avSpcs irair<5, all the men; 0A.7) ij voXis or rj ttoXh; o j, all the city. Hut they can also be used like attributive adjectives, preceded by the article; as r irdcra Sc/ccAi'a, the whole of Sicily, to b'kov ylvos, the entire race.

PRONOMINAL ARTICLE IN ATTIC GREEK.
981. In Attic prose the article retains its original demonstrative force chiefly in the expression o /xev . . . 6 Be, the one . . . the other.1 E.g.
Ol jxcv airruiv
982. N. The neuter to p.iv . . . to Be may be used adverbially, partly . . . partly. For tovto p.iv . . . tovto hi in this sense, see 1010.
983. N. (a) 'O St etc. sometimes mean and he, but he, etc., even when no 6 /xev precedes; as "Ivdpoi? 'AOyvaiow; enrjyaytTO' ol Si rj9ov, Inaros called in Athenians; and they cume, T. 1,10-1.
(b) With prepositions these expressions are generally inverted; as iroWa. piy . . . tv St tois, P. Eu. Wi*; Trapa piv toC $va, Trapa hi tov o-t&r}po$, X. Up. A. 2,11.
984. A few-other relics of the demonstrative meaning of the article are found in Attic, chiefly the following: —
Toy ko.1 tov, this man and that; to kcli to', this and that; to. ko.1 to., these and those; as thu yap to Kat to 7roi7Jo"cu, k
Tip< id="iv.i.p7081.1"> tov (or wpoTov), before this, formerly.
Kai tov or kui Tqv, before an infinitive; as kcu. tov KiXcvcrai hovvai (sc. X(ytTai), and (it is said) he commanded hiin to give it, X. C.1,39.
So occasionally ™, therefore, which is common in Homer.
1 In this use, and in other pronominal uses of the article (as in Homer), the forms 6, 19, oi, and ai were probably oxytone (6, ri, o'i, oi'). They are printed here without accents in conformity with the prevailing usage in school editions of Greek authors. See 130.

'O airos a.vf)p, the same, man; rov alruv noXtjxov, the same war; Tavru., the same things (4-).
3. The oblique cases of avrus' fire the ordinary personal pronouns of the third person, him, her, it, them. E.g.
^TpaTijyov avrov aircSu^c, he designated him as general. See four other examples in X./l. 1,1,2&3.
It will be noticed that the nominative of avros is never a personal pronoun.

Occasionally a reflexive refers to some emphatic word which is neither the leading nor a dependent subject; sis awb (javrov 'y at SiSa£a>, 1 mill teach you from your own case {from yourself), Ar. JV.38f>. In fact, these pronouns correspond almost exactly in their use to the English reflexives, myself, thyself, himself etc.

999. The possessive is occasionally equivalent, to the ohferlive genitive of the personal pronoun ; as rj ifiyj cvvoia, which commonly means my good-will (towards others), rarely means yood-uiill (shown) to me; as tivola yap epu rrj ay, for 1 shall speak out of good-will to you, P.

RELATIVE PRONOUNS.
1019. A relative agrees with its antecedent in gender and number; but its case depends on the construction of the clause in which it stands. E.g.
ElSoi' Tot's di'Spu? oi rjkOuv, 1 saw the men who came; ol avBp(< id="iv.i.p7158.1"> oil? cISes a-rrrjXOov, the men whom you saw went away.
1020. N. The relative follows the person of the antecedent; as v/j.el<; oi tovto Troiclre, you who do this; (yu id="iv.i.p7159.1"> us tovto (wo'irjaat I who did this.
1021. N. (a) A relative referring to several antecedents follows the rule given for predicate adjectives (924); as r-tpl 7roA«'/xou koI eifjrjvr)';, a /jLCy(<7Ti]i id="iv.i.p7160.1"> ia Swufiiv iv T(f fi>.<£ tlov av6i)i!)ir(ov, about war ami jifuce, whicli hare the greatest power in the life of men, 1.8,2; d7raKay,(VT€<: t miXt/jioip xal kwSpvwv km rapu^s, (Is yv vvv 7rpo? aAAi)Aous KiiOioTafxtv. freed from xcarx, dangers, and confusion, in which we are nine involved with one another, 1.8,20.

1024. N. (a) In the epic and lyric poets r< is often appended to relative words without affecting their meaning; as ovk di«s J t(
(i) But olos Te in Attic Greek means able, capable, like Swords, being originally elliptical for toioitos olos, such as, t< having no apparent force.
1025. (Preposition omitted.) When the relative and its antecedent would properly have the same preposition, it is usually expressed only with the antecedent; as d^o ttJs avrrji dyyoms fi
Omission ok the Antkckdknt.
1026. The antecedent of a relative may be omitted when it can easily be supplied from the context, especially if it is indefinite (1426). E.g.
*EAa/?tv a
1027. N. In such cases it is a mistake to say that, ravra, Ikuvol, etc., are understood; see 10-iO. The relative clause here really becomes a .substantive, and contains its antecedent within itself. Such a relative clause, as a substantive, may even have the article; as l^ovtra tyjv fTruivvtuav rr/v tov o Iotiv, having the name of the absolutely existent (of the "what is"), V. Ph.026; intivov opiytrai tov o Ivtiv laov, they aim at that absolute eqnality (at the "what is equal"), lii't/.7511; tu> oyxtKpw n-ipu, t1 *v uwiii, through the small part, which was shown lo be the ruling power within Mm (the "what ruled"), P. /tyi.442c. Here it must not be thought that, rov and Tw are antecedents, or pronouns at all.

1030. N. When a clause containing a relative with omitted antecedent precedes the leading clause, the latter often contains a demonstrative referring back with emphasis to the omitted antecedent; as a ((iovktTo Tavra ikaftcv, what he wanted, that he took, entirely differen t from ravra a ifiovXtTo Ikafiiv, he took these (definite) things, which he wanted; a ttoiuv aior^pw, Tavra v6/xi£f /<«/S* Xiyuv tlvm kulXov, what it is base to do, this believe that it is not good even to say, 1.1,15 (here TuCra is not the antecedent of a, which is indefinite and is not expressed). See 1007.
Assimilation and Attraction.
1031. When a relative would naturally be in the accusative as the object of a verb, it is generally assimilated to the case of its antecedent if this is a genitive or dative. E.g.
'Ex tCiv w6X.eu>v wv ?x£'> from the cities which he holds (for as «Xe0 > T0's pya&HS ols *xofxtv, with the good things which we have (for a i^o/xcv). "A£tot t^? (kiv8tpia<; ^? KfKT-qvOe, worthy of the freedom which you have, X.^4.1,78; d tuI rjyiixovi. 7ri<7f
1032. N. When an antecedent is omitted which (if expressed) would have been a genitive or dative, the assimilation still takes place; and a preposition which would have belonged to the antecedent passes over to the relative; as iSykuxre tovto ols tjrparre, he showed this by what he did (like ckcivois a) ; ow ol? /xaAiora

Even the nominative may be assimilated; as fiXdirrco-Bai a

Trjy ovaiav rjv KaTiXmt ov TrAtibfo? afi'a iarlv 19 TiTrdpuv ko.1 SeVa TaXdvrwv, the estate which he left is not worth viore than fourteen lalents, L. 19,47. Compare urban quam statuo vestra est, Verg. A en. 1,573. Sucli expressions involve an anacolulhon.
This inverted assimilation takes place in ovStis oo"rt? ov, everybody, in ■which ouSti's follows the case of the relative; as ou&e'vi otiii ovk a.TrOKpiv6fjL(vo<; (for oiSct's Io-tw oto>), replying to everybody, i Men. 70'.

1037. The antecedent is often attracted into the relative clause, and agrees with the relative. E.g.

1040. A relative is seldom repeated in a new case in the same sentence, but a personal or demonstrative pronoun commonly takes its place. E.g.
'EkiIvoi toivvv, ot? ovk ix
1041. N. Sometimes, however, a new case of the relative is understood in the latter part of a sentence; as 'Aptuio? St, oV rjfx.(l<: riOtXofjxv /?ao"iXf'a Ka.6i.o-Ta.vui, ku.1 t'Saixa/u;' xai (dfiofj.t.v miTrd, and Ariaeus, whom we wished to make king, and (to whom) we gave and (from whom) we received pledges, etc., X. A.3,2G.
THE CASES.
1042. The Greek is descended from a language which had eight cases, — an (Motive, a locative, and an instrumental, besides the five found in Greek. The functions of the ablative were absorbed chiefly by the genitive, partly by the dulive; those of the instrumental and locative chiefly by the dative.
NOMINATIVE AND VOCATIVE.
1043. The nominative is usod cliieily as the subject of a finite verb (894), or in the predicate after verbs signifying to be, etc. (907).
1044. The vocative, with or without w, is used in addressing a person or tiling; as « avbpes'AOvi'aiot, men of Athens! a/coveis, Alayun;; dost thou hear, Aesehines?
223 |
J051] ACCUSATIVE. 223
1045. N. The nominative is sometimes used in exclamations, and even in other expressions, where the voeative is more cpin-lnon; as to/xot. iyw SttAik, 0 wretched me! So t) IlpoKvrj tic/Saivi, Procnc, come out.' Ar. Av.ou°5.
ACCUSATIVE.
1046. The primary purpose of the accusative is to denote the nearer or direct object of a verb, as opposed to the remoter or indirect object denoted by the dative (892). It thus bears the same relation to a verb which the objective genitive (10S5, 3) bears to a noun. The object denoted by the accusative may be the external object of the action of a transitive verb, or the internal (cognate) object which is often implied in the meaning of even an intransitive verb. But tile accusative has also assumed other functions, as will be seen, which cannot be brought under this or any other single category.
ACCUSATIVE OK D1KKCT (EXTERNAL) OBJECT.
1047. The direct object of the action of a transitive verb is put in the accusative; as tovto o-wfet ^a?, this prcsenes us; Tavia TTOLuufj-tv, we do these thhiys.
1048. N. Many verbs which an; transitive in English, and govern the objective case, take either a genitive or a dative in Greek. (See 10U!); 1100 ;■ 118:3.)
1049. N. Many verbs which are transitive in Greek are intransitive in English; a.s 6fj.ovjj.ai. tous &ov?, / will sweur by the Gotb, ttu.vt ai

COGNATE ACCUSATIVE (INTERNAL OBJECT).
1051. Any vim-1) whose meaning permits it may take an accusative of kindred signification. This accusative
224 |
224 SYNTAX. [1052
repeats the idea already contained in the verb, and may follow inti'ansitive as well as transitive verbs. E.g.
IIcutos ^Sovas rjhca-Oai, to enjoy all pleasures, P. Phil. 63*. Evnjx^cai/ tovto to t vTv
]fia, they enjoyed this good fortune, X.A6,39. So ttujuv n-Tw/xara, to suffer (to fall) falls, A.Pr.919. Noow vocrclv or voaov aaOiviiv ov yoVoy Ka/xvuv, to suffer under a disease; dfuipTrjfjux dfi/ipT&vuv, to commit an error {to ain a sin); SovXtuiv BovXivuv, to be subject to slavery; ap
jv ap iv, to hold an office; iyuiva 6.y
1052. N. It will be seen that this construction is far more extensive in Greek than in English. It includes not only accusatives of kindred formation and meaning', as vUrjv viw, to gain a victory; but also those of merely kindred meaning, as iM-qv wkSv, to gain a battle. The accusative may also limit the meaning of the verb to one of many applications; as 'OAij/xttiu vikolv, to gain an Olympic victory, T. 1,12(5; icrriav yd/uous, to give a wedding feast, At. Av. 132; <^)}<^io"/ia vucrjT, he curries a decree (gains a victory with a decree), Aesch.3,68; fiorj&poiita. irt/A/irtiv, to celebrate the Baedromia by a procession, ]). 3,31. So also (in poetry) fickLvuv (or iXOtiv) iroSa, to step {the foot): see EMM 153.
. For the cognate accusative becoming the subject of a passive verb, see 1240..
1053. The cognate accusative may follow adjectives or even nouns. E.g.
KaKOi TTosrav no.klav, bad with all badness, P. Rp. 400d; SoCAos Ta? /nfyioras SovWas, a slave to the direst slavery, i'i/j.579d.
1054. A neuter adjective sometimes represents a cognate accusative, its uouu being implied in the verb. E.g.
MtyaXa afuxpTixvuv (sc. dixapTijfMTo.), to commit great faults; Tavra. XvTttiaOai ku.1 ravTa xaiptiv, to have the same griefs and the same joys, D. 18,202. So ri yp-r)aoxjxi tovtu>; (= tiVu ^peuxv Xprjaofiiu;), what use shall 1 make of this ? and ouSti/ xprjao/jxii tovtu, / shall make no use of this (1183). So ^pijut/ios ovScV, good for nothing (1053). See 1060.
1055. 1. Here belongs the accusative of effect, which
225 |
1050] ACCUSATIVE. 225
expresses a result beyond the action of the verb, which is effected by that action. E.g.
npeo-ftivciv Tt)v clp-jvnv, to negotiate a peace (as ambassadors, ■xpiaj$ti<;), 1). 10, 134; but irpecrficuav Trptaficiav, to go on an embassy. Compare the English breaking a hole, as opposed to breaking a stick.
2. So after verbs of look-ing (in poetry); as'Apij ScSoptcevai, to look war (Ares) (see A.Se.5'3); rj fiovXrj i(iXcif/t vatrv, the Senate looked mustard, Ar.Eq.d'Sl.
1056. N. For verbs which take a cognate accusative and an ordinary object accusative at the same time, see 107G.
1057. N. Connected with the cognate accusative is that which follows verbs of motion to express the ground over which the motion passes; as oSoe livai (iX&ilv, iropukcdai, etc.), to go (over) a road; wXuv OaXao-crav, to sail the sea: Spot Karaftaivav, to descend a mountain; etc. These verbs thus acquire a transitive meaning.
ACCUSATIVE OF SPECIFICATION. — ADVERBIAL ACCUSATIVE.
1058. The accusative of specification may be joined with a verb", adjective, noun, or even a whole sentence, to denote a part, character, or quality to which the expression refers. E.g.
Tu<£Xo9 ra 5nfM.T' tl, you are blind in your eyes, S.O.T.371;
1059. N'. This is sometimes called the. accusative by synecdoche, or the limiting accusative. It most frequently denotes a part; but it may refer to any circumstance to which the meaning of the expression is restricted. This construction sometimes resembles that of 1239, with which it must not be confounded.

226 SYNTAX. fiOCfl
1060. An accusative in certain expressions ha*, the force of an adverb. E.g.
Toirrov rbv rpowov, in this way, thus; ttjv raylaTrjV (xc. o8w), in the quickest way; (tyjv) apxyv, at first (with negative, ho* at alt); rikas, finally; irpoiKa, as a gift, gratis; ^apiv,for the sake of, Si'icyjy, in the manner of; to npuiTOv or TrpuiTov, at first; to omtov, for the rest; iravra, in all things; raXXa, in other respects; ovf>iv, in nothing, not at all; tI; in what, why? ti, in any respect, at oil; ravra, in respect to this, therefore. So tovto /x«V . . . rovro 8e (1010).
1061. N. Several of these (1000) are to lie explained by 1058, as rdXAa, ri; why? ravra, tovto (with fxiv and hi), and sometimes ouStV and ri' Some are to be explained as cognate accusatives (see 1053 and 1054), and some are of doubtful origin.
ACCUSATIVE OF EXTENT.
1062. The accusative may denote extent of time or space. E.g.
At avovhal iviavrbv iaovrai, the truce is to be for a year, T.4,118. Ejfuivtv Tifxipat; tt(vt(, he remained five days. 'Atti^ci 17 HAaTtua tu>v ®T)fiiov (TTaStous i/3b>fxr)KOVTa, Plalncn is seventy sUitles distant from Thchcs, T. 2,5. 'Airi^ovTa ^,vpu.KOvcriiiv ovrt vkovv ttoXvv ovrt o&ov, (Me^'ava) not a long stiil or land-journey distant from Syracuse, X. 0,49.
1063. N. This accusative with an ordinal number denotes hmn long since (including the date of the event); as f/?8o'/o;i' yficpav tj}? OvyaTpo1; avT(S titcXivtijkvms, when his daughter had died nix days before (i.e. this being the seventh day), Aesch.3,77.
1064. N. A peculiar idiom is found in expressions like Tptrov
TERMINAI, ACCUSATIVE (POF.TIC).

In prose a preposition would be used here.
ACCUSATIVE IN OATHS WITH vi) AND fid.
1066. The accusative follows the adverbs of swearing vi) and /j.d, by.
1067. An oath introduced by vi) is affirmative; one introduced by fid (unless vat, yes, precedes) is negative; as vij tov Aiu, yen, by Zeus; /ib. t'ov Ai'a, no, by Zeus; but val, fia. Am, yes, by Zeus.
1068. N. Ma is sometimes omitted when a negative precedes; as ov, Tovh'OXvfMTOv, no, by this Olympus, S. An. 708.
TWO ACCUSATIVES WITH ONE VERB.
1069. Verbs signifying to ask, to demand, to teach, to remind, to clothe or unclothe, to conceal, to deprive, and to take away, may take two object accusatives. E.g.
Ov tout' (piorui at, 1 am not asking you this, Ar. AT. (541; ouSeVu rtj<; avvovaias ipyvpiov irpixTTti., you demand no fee for your teaching from any one, X.

1074. These verbs often take tu or koAus, well, or kokois, ill, instead of the accusative of a thing; tovtow; eZ Trout, he does them good; v/xa? *a/«os ttoiu, he does you harm; k
For iv Trao-x'iv, tv dKoutiv, etc., as passives of these expressions, see 1241.
1075. N. TIpd(7(T, do, very seldom takes two accusatives in this construction, iroiea) being generally used. El irpaaau) and tfaxuis TTpaxjam are intransitive, meaning to be well off, to be badly off.
1076. A transitive verb may have a cognate accusative (1051) and an ordinary object accusative at the same time. E.g.
MtX^TOs fit (ypdiparo rrjv ypa
On this principle (1076) verbs of dividing may take two accusatives ; as to (TTpaTiv/io. «aT
1077. Verbs signifying to name, to choose or appoint, to make, to think or regard, and the like, may take a predicate accusative besides the object accusative. E.g.

C. 1,318.
1078. This is the active construction corresponding to the passive with copulative verbs (90S), in which the object accusative

becomes the subject nominative (1234) and the predicate accusative becomes a predicate nominative (907). Like the latter, it includes also predicate adjectives; as tow
1079. N. With verbs of naming the infinitive ilvat may connect the two accusatives; as crcxfrioT-qv 6voful£ov(n Tor avSpa clyai, they name the man (to be) a sophist, V. Pr.All*.
1080. N. Many other transitive verbs may take a predicate accusative in apposition with the object accusative; as ZXufJc tovto Sdpov, he took this as a gift; 77nrov<; aytw Ovpja. toj HAi'w, to brtnif horses as an offering to the Sun, X. C. S,:j12 (.see 010). Especially iin interrogative pronoun may be so used; as ti'i'os tovtov; opui; v>ho are these whom 1 see ? lit. / sec these, being whom ? (See 910 ; 972.)
1081. N. A predicate accusative may denote the effect of the action of the verb upon its direct object; as ircu&ucii' riva ao
1082. N. For one of two accusatives retained with the passive, see 1239.
For the accusative absolute, see 1509.
GENITIVE.
1083. As the chief use of the accusative is to limit the meaning of a verb, so the chief use of the genitive is to limit the meaning of a noun. When the genitive is used as the object of a verb, it seems to depend on the nominal idea which belongs to the verb: thus €Tn6vfj.u) involves CTnOv/uav (as we can say (nidv/xu i-TnOvfiiav, 1051) ; and in (TnOvfiw tovtov, 1 have a desire for this, the nominal idea preponderates over the verbal. So (3a(nX.ivtt -n/s ^wpas (1109) involves the idea /3utriA.€«j? icrri t^s ^tipas, he is king of the country. The Greek is somewhat arbitrary in deciding when it will allow either idea to preponderate in the construction, and after some vm-hs it allows both the accusative and the genitive (1108). In the same general sense the genitive follows verbal adjectives. It has also uses which originally belonged to the ablative; for example, with verbs of separation and to express source. (See HM2.)
GENITIVE AFTER NOUNS (ATTRIBUTIVE GENITIVE).
1084. A noun in the genitive may limit tins meaning of another noun, to express various relations, most of

which are denoted by of or by the possessive case in English.
1085. The genitive thus depending on a noun is called attributive (see 919). Its most important relations are the following: —
1. PossEssroN or other close relation: as jj rov jrarpos oiKt'u, the fathers house; -^/xun/ ■}/ varpti, our country; t6 rwv di'Spiuv yivoSo t? iov Aios, the daughter of Zeus; ra twv 6twv, the things of the Gods (95<'J). The Possessive Genitive.

Il€/X7m toiv AvSoov, he semis some of tin-: Li/dians (but -nitum Toils .vSovT^? y^s erc/xov, they ravaged (some) of the. land, ']'.],;}0.
2. This principle applies especially to verbs signifying to chare (i.e. to give or take a part) or to enjoy. E.g.
MtTti^ov Trjf AeiVs, they shared in the booty; so often utTinrotti-
1098. N. Many of these verbs also take an accusative, when they refer to the whole object. Thus tAu^£ tovtov means he obtained a share of this by lot, but tAa^f to^to, he obtained this by lot. MeT€^w and similar verbs may regularly take an accusative like /t«pos, part; as tuJiz mvSvvon' irXdcrTov jj.(i>o% fXiOl^owrcv, they will hunt the greatest share uf the dangers, I.lj, 3 (where fjiepov; would mean that they have only a part of a share). This use of )xipo<; shows the nature of the genitive after these verbs.
In crvvrpifiiw rij"; Kt<£aA id="iv.i.p7329.1">j<;, to bruise his head, and Kareayii-at Trj% n«f>ayjs, to have his head broken, tlio genitive is probably partitive. See Ar. Ach. 1180, Pa.7; I.IS.M. These verbs take also the accusative.

DATIVE.
1157. The primary use of the dative case is to denote (hat to or for which anything is or is done: this includes the dative of the remote or indirect object, and the dative of advantai/e or disadvantage. It also denotes that by which or with which, and the time (sometimes the place) m which, anything takes place,-—i.e. it is not merely a dative, but also an instrumental and a locative case.. (See 1042.) The object of motion after to is not regularly expressed by the Greek dative, but by the accusative with a preposition. (See 1065.)
DATIVK EXPRESSING TO OR FOR.

Dative or Advantage or Disadvantaci:.
1165. The person or thing for whose advantage or disadvantage anything is or is done is put in the dative (dativus commodi et incommodf). This dative is generally introduced in English by for. E.g.

1168. N. In Homer, verbs signifying to toard off take an accusative of the thing and a dative of the person; as Aavaotot Xotyoy ajixivov, ward off destruction from the Danai (lit. for the Danai), 11.1,450. Here the accusative may be omitted, so that Aavaoicri afxwav means to defend the Danai. For other constructions of i/xwu), see the lexicon.
1169. N. Ac^o/nat, receive, takes a dative in Homer by a similar idiom; as Siijaro ot (rK/jirrpov, he took his sceptre from him (lit./or Aim), 11.2,180.

DAT1VK OF TIME.
1192. The dative without a preposition often denotes time when. This is confined chiefly to nouns denoting day, night, month, or year, and to names of festivals. E.g.

1220] USES OF THE MiKi'OSITIONS. 26.3
1222. 1. Tlie original adverbial use of the prepositions sometimes appears when tliey are used without a noun; this occurs especially in the older Greek, seldom in Attic prose. Thus ircpi, round about or exceedingly, in Homer; and npos Si or ko.1 irpos, and besides; (v 8e, ami among them; cirt hi, and upon this; fiira 8e, and next; in Herodotus.
12. The preposition of a compound verb may also stand separately, in which case its adverbial force plainly appears; as cVi Kvitfio.'i rjkOiv (Kvi
This is called tmesis, and is found chiefly in Homer and the early poets.
1223. A preposition sometimes follows its case, or a verb to which it belongs; as vtojv airo, 7riuous f*/H, oAtcras airo (for d?roA.t-ous), CW. 0,5!$4. For the change of accent (anastrojihe), see 110, 1.
1224. N. A few prepositions are used adverbially, with a verb (generally tVn) understood ; as vdpa for vdpicrn, Ittl and jj.tTa (in Homer) for firmn and fiirivTi. So tn for JVtori, and poetic ora, up! for avdara (avacrTrjdi.). For the accent, see 110,2.
1225. 1. Sometimes cl<; with the accusative, and Ik or d^o with the lenitive, are used in expressions which themselves imply no motion, with reference to some motion implied or expressed in the context; as ui £wo8ot ts to icpov (yiyvovTO, the synuds were held in the temple (lit. into the temple, involving tin', idea, of going; into the temple to hold the synods), T. ],i)C; tois ik Ylvkov /4>8utji-(iot-KOTes), lite those captured (in Pylos, and brought home) from Pylo*, i.e. the captives from Pylvs, Ar.JV. 180; hiy)pT:aaro kol avra tu. airh tuiv oIklu>v ^liAa, even the very timlicrs in the houses (lit. from the houses) had been stolen, X./l. L',Ln0.
'2. So lv with the dative sometimes occurs with verbs of mot.ion, referring to rest which follows the motion ; as lv tw Trora/uL trrtaov, the;/ full (into and remained) in the river, .AytnVaai ttItttc Ai
Tliese (1 and 'J) are instances of the so-called construclioprm ijnnnn.
1226. N. Adverbs of place an? sometimes interchanged in the same way (l'J"jr>); as 077-01 KaOio-Tafitv, where n>e arc slandiiuj, lit. whither having come ice are standhiq, S-.O.C'l'.i; tis ayroti Tof (KtZ&tv Troifj.ov Scvpo y£oi'T; vilio iloex no! ktwiv ihfit the war that is there vnll come lulhert 1). 1,15.
So ivdiv xai iv6w, nn this side and on that, like tV Sefta? (a dextra), 0?) the rioht.

264 SYNTAX. [1227
1227. A preposition is often followed by its own case when it is part of a compound verb. E.g.
IIapSco/xa-tuiv, let some one come forth from the house, A. Ch. C03 ; £vviirpa.(T(rov avrio 'A/x<£iffo-ij9, Amphisscans assisted him, T. 3,101. For other examples of the genitive, see 1132; for those of the dative, see 1179.
ADVERBS.
1228. Adverbs qualify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. E.g.
Outuk tlniv, thus he spoke;
1229. N. For adjectives used as adverbs, see 92G. For adverbs preceded by the article, and qualifying a noun like adjectives, see 052. Kor adverbs with the genitive or dative, see 1088; 1092; 1148; 1174; 1175. l<"or adverbs used as prepositions, see 1220.
THE VERB.
VOICES.
ACTIVE.
1230. In the active voice the subject is represented as acting; as TpeVco tovs 6cf>daiJ.ovs, I turn my eyes; 6 irarrjp (juXel tov Tral&a, the father loves the child; 6 (tttto? Tpe^ei, the horse runs.
1231. Tim form of t.ho active voice includes most intransitive verbs; as Tpt^o>, run. On the other hand, the form of the middle or passive voice includes many deponent verbs winch are active and transitive in meaning; as /3ouAo/iui tovto, I want this. Some transitive verbs have certain intransitive tenses, which generally have the meaning of the middle voice, as to-TTyxa, / stand, tcrrqv, I stood, from iotij/u, place; others have a passive force, as avlcrrrj-
1232. The same verb may be both transitive and intransitive;
265 |
1239] THE VERB. —VOICES. 265
as iXavvui, drive (trans, oi' intrans.) or march; «x<», have, sometimes hold or slay (as e^t &J, stay notv, P.Pr. 349d); with adverbs, be, as tv «x£t! it i* well, bene se habet. So irpaTTu>, do, iv (or kukws) rrpaxTui, 1 am well (or badly) off, 1 do well (or badly). The intransitive use sometimes arose irom the omission of a familiar object; as tAaww (anroi' or ap/*a), (o drive, tcXivtolv (tov jiiov), to end (life) or to die. Compare the English verbs drive, turn, move, increase, etc.
PASSIVE.
1233. In the passive voice the subject is
as acted upon; as d 7rat? inrb tov iraTpbs (friXelrai., the child is loved by the father.
1234. The object of the active becomes the subject of the passive. The subject of the active, the personal agent, is generally expressed by vtto with the genitive in the passive construction.
1235. The dative here, as elsewhere, generally expresses the inanimate instrument; as PakkovTiu Aitfois, they are lilted by stones.
1236. Even a genitive or dative depending on a verb in the active voice can become the subject of (.he passive ; as Karu4>povurai vtt' i/xov, he is despised by me (active, kutu^/jorj avrov, 1102); •jruTTiviTdt vtto tuiv 6.p^ojnv
1237. N. Other prepositions than iwo with the genitive of the agent, though used in poetry, are not common in Attic prose: such are irapa., 7rpo'?,
1238. 1. The perfect and pluperfect passive may have the dative of the agent
2. The persona] verbal in -tc'os takes the dative (1596), the impersonal in -t«m> the dative or accusative, of the agent (1597).

1240. 1. A cognate accusative (1051) of the active form, or a neuter pronoun or adjnciive representing such an accusative, may become the subject of the passive. E.

MIDDLE.
1242. In the middle voice the subject is represented as acting upon himself, or in seme manner which concerns himself.
1. As acting on himself. E.g.
YjTpajrovTO 7rpo9 XrjOTUav, they turned themselves to piracy, T. 1,.;. So iravofuu, cease (slap one's self), ■ntidtaOa.i, trust (persuade one's self), ffmivo/Mt, appear (show one's self). This most natural u.so of the middle is the least common.
2. As acting for himself or with reference to Jam-self. E.g.
'O Brjfj.01; TiBiTai i'0/ious, the people male laws for themselves, whereas tiOtjcti vo/iou? would properly be said of a lawgiver; ruvrav fjiTaTrf/nru/jja, 1 semi for him (to come to me); a.Tr(ir(fi.iriTo ai/roi!?, he dismissed them; TrpofJaWirai ryv acrviSa, he holds his shield to protect himself.
3. As acting on an object helongirig to himself. E.g.
*HA#£ Ai>y(ty«i'os 6vyaTf)a, he came to ransom his (own) daughter, 11. l,i:i.
1243. N. The last two uses may be united in one verb, as in the last example.
1244. N. Often the middle expresses no more than is implied in the active; Urns Tfjoiraiov i
1245. K. The middle sometimes has a causative meaning; as i&ihatafx-nv
This gives rise to some special uses of the middle; a« in &ivti'£ti>> luiil, 8uvii£ufJLai, borrow (cause somebody to lend to oue's self); /j.inOui, let, tuo-flovfjuu, hire (anise to be let to one's self) ; / let myself for pay is c/jmvtvv )xui6w.

TENSES.
1249. The tenses may express two relations. They may designate the time of an action as present, past, ov future; and also its character as going on, as simply taking place, or us fnixlu'd. The latter relation appears in all the moods and in the infinitive and participle; the former appeal's always in the indicative, and to a certain extent (hereafter to be explained) in some of the dependent moods and in the participle.
I. TENSES OF THE INDICATIVE.
1250. The tenses of the indicative express action as follows: —
1. Piiiisi'.NT, action going on in present time: ypd
2. Jmtjcufkct, action going on in past time: (ypa
3. Pkrfkct, action finished in present time: ylypa^a, 1 have written.
4. Pj,ui'eh]''kct, action finished in past time: iyiypd.
5. Aorist, action simply taking place in past time: typaipa, I wrote.
6. Futurk, future action (either in its progress or in its mere occurrence): ypiiipw, I shall vnite or / shall be writing.
7. Future Perfect, action to be finished in future time:
ai, it will have been written.

For the present and the aorist expressing a general truth (gnomic), see 1292.
1252. In narration, the present is sometimes used vividly for the aorist. E.g.
KcAevci ir€^npai avopa.*;• ano <7 riXXoualv ovv, ko! ircpi avruivo ®tyu
This is called the Historic Present.
1253. 1. The present often expresses a customary or repeated action in present time 5 as ovtos fxiv v8u>p,
2. The imperfect likewise may express customary or repeated past action; as 2«»cpaT^s alcrrrep iyiyvoicrxev ovtu><; tcyc, as Socmtes thought, so he used to speak, X. M. 1,14.
1254. The present /i.«AAo), with the present or future (seldom the aorist) infinitive, forms a periphrastic future, which sometimes denotes intention or expectation; as fieWa tovto iroiiiv (or irovff-cruv), he is about to do this; cl /x«AX« 17 voXiTtia cra£i
1255. The present and especially the imperfect often express an attempted action ; as ireiOovcLv fyta?, they are trying to persuade you, Isae. 1,20; 'hXowqtrov iZiZov, he offered (tried to give) Ilalon-nesus, Aesch.3,83; d inpd&crtTO ovk lyivtTO, what was attempted did not happen, T. 0,74.
1256. The presents iJkd, I am come, and o"xo/xai, / am gone, have the force of perfects; the imperfects having the force of pluperfects.
1257. The present ilpu, 1 am going, with its compounds, has a future sense, and is used as a future of «p^o^uxi, eAtixro/um not being in good use in Attic prose. In Homer tlfu is also present in sense.

270 SYNTAX. [1258
1258. The present with wdXai or any other expression of past time has the force of a present and perfect combined; as 7raAai tovto Xtyw, I leave lout/ been telling this (which 1 now tell).
1259. 1. The aonVf takes its name (ddptcrro?, unlimited, unquali-Jied) from its denoting a simple past occurrence, with none of the limitations (o/;oi) as to completion, continuance, repetition, etc., which belong to the other past tenses. It corresponds to the ordinary preterite in English, whereas the Greek imperfect corresponds to the forms / was doing, etc. Thus, ewoUt. tovto is lie was doing this or he did this habitually; imrOL-qKi tovto is he has already done iJtis; lirtTroirjKCi tovio is he had already (at some past time) done this; hut (TToirjcrt tovto is simply lie did this, without qualification of any kind. The aorist is then.1 fore commonly used in rapid narration, the imperfect in detailed description. The aorist is more common in negative sentences.
2. As it is not always important to distinguish between the progress of an action and its mere occurrence, it is occasionally indifferent whether the imperfect or the aorist is used; compare HXtyov in T. 1,72 (end) with uttov, ikc£ai>, and ?Xt£e in 1,79. The two tenses show different views (both natural views) of the same act of speaking.
1260. The aorist of verbs which denote a slate or condition may express the entrance into thai, state or condition; as ttXoutoi, I am rich; (ttXovtovv, 1 vuis rich; itrXovrrjcra, J became rich. So ijiaai-Xcvae, lie became king; yjpit, he look office (also he held office).
1261. After eVu'and tVtiSr/, after thai, the aorist is generally to be translated by our pluperfect; as fVaSij carijXBov, after they had departed. Compare postrjuam venit.
1262. N. The aorist (sometimes the perfect) participle with t)(w may form a periphrastic perfect, especially in Attic poetry; as 6uv/ia
1263. N. Some perfects have a present, meaning; a.s 6vrj
In such verbs the pluperfect has the force of an imperfect; as J/877, J knew.

1265. N. The second person of the. future may express a ]ier-viission, or oven a command; as npiiid-i olov uv diXys, you may act as i/iiu please, S. 0. ('• i'00 ; ir
For the periphrastic future with jucXXui and the infinitive, see 1201.
1266. N. The future perfect is sometimes merely an emphatic future, di'iiotiny that a future act will be immediate or decisive; as tf>pa.£<, Kul 7rtTrfidone, Ar. Pl.W'Sl. Compare the similar use oi the perfect infinitive, 1275.
1267. 1. Tlie division of the tenses of the indicative into primary (or principal) and secondary (or lihloricul) is explained in 44X.
2. In dependent clauses, when the construction allows both .subjunctive and optative, or both indicative and optative, tlie subjunctive or indicative regularly follows primary tenses, and the optative follows secondary tenses. E.
IIijarToviriv a Si' fiovXiovTai., they iln whatever they please; (JT/mrroc fj u vXocvt o, th<-y did wha/coer they pleased. A iyover tv on roCro jiovkavrai, they say that they wish for this; iXe^ay oti tuvto /SouAon'To, they said that they wished for this.
Thi'..se eoiisti uctions will be explained hereafter (1'1-il ; 14S7).
1268. N. Thi) gnomic aorist is a jiiiinary tei'se, as it lv.fers to present time (I"_'!r2); and the historic present is secondary, as it refers to past time (l'J.VJ).
1269. The only exception to tins principle (1207, 2) occurs in indirect discourse, where the form of the direct discourse can always he retained, even after secondary tenses. (See. 14S1, 2).
1270. 1. The. distinction of primary and secondary tenses extends to the dependent moods only where the tenses there keep the same disl inetion of lime which they have in the indicative, as iu the optative and infinitive of indirect discourse (1280).
272 |
272 SYNTAX. [1271
2. An optative of future time generally assimilates a dependent conditional relative clause or protasis to tlie optative when it might otherwise be in the subjunctive: thus we should generally have ■wparTOUv av a [3ovoivto, they xcould do whatever they miyht jileasv. See 14;i9. Such an optative seldom assimilates the subjunctive or indicative of a final or object clause (13G2) in prose; but oftener in poetry. It very rarely assimilates an indicative of indirect discourse, although it may assimilate an interrogative subjunctive (1358).
II. TENSES OF THE DEPENDENT MOODS.
A. Not in Indirect Discourtsr..
1271. In the subjunctive and imperative, and also in the optative and infinitive when they are not in indirect discourse (1279), the tenses chiefly used are the present and aorist.
1272. 1. These tenses here differ only in this, that the present expresses an action in its duration, that is, as going on or repeated, while the aorist expresses simply its occurrence, the time of both being otherwise precisely the same. E.g.
'Eav iroiij tovto, if he shall be doing thin, or if he shall do this (habitually), iav voiyjar] tovto, (simply) if he shall do this; (.1 iroioiij toGto, if he. should be doing this, or if he should do this (habitually), d Troiqacie toCto, (simply) if he should do this; iroiti toSto, do this (habitually), -noi-qaov tovto, (simply) do this. Outid vtKr)(7aifit t e'yci Kal vo/xt£oi'/a??v o~o
2. This is a distinction entirely unknown to the Latin, which has (for example) only one form, si facial, corresponding to «! voioirj and ci TTOt.yicrci.lv.
1273. The perfect, which seldom occurs in these constructions, represents an action as finished nt the time at which the present would represent it as going on. E.g.
Ae'oot/ca fir) Xrjdr)v TrtnoiriK-q, I fear lest it may prove to have caused forgetfulncss (/at) ttoitj' would mean lest it may cause), D. 19,3. MijStn fiarfliiv os av /j.rj 7rpoVepo5 ficfiovdrjKus vjjuv rf, to help no one who shall not previously have helped you (os av /«/ • • • J3ov6tJ would mean who shall not previously help you), U. 19,16.

tovto ■/tliv ovk ciOvs S«8
1274. N. The perfect imperative generally expresses a command that something shall be decisive and permanent; as ravra cipij
1275. N. The perfect infinitive sometimes expresses decision or permanence (like the imperative, 1274), and sometimes it is merely more emphatic than the present; as clirov ttjv Bvpav KixXtlvOat, they ordered the gate to be shut (and kept so), X. H. 5, 47. "HAuwev €7ri tous McVupos, war' ixuvovs iKTriirkrJx&ai Kal rp(ii.v em tu. oirXa, so that they were (once for all) thoroughly frightened and ran to aryns, X./4.1,5IS. The regular meaning of this tense, when it. is not in indirect discourse, is that given in 1273.
1276. The future infinitive is regularly used only to represent the future indicative in indirect discourse (1280).
1277. It occurs occasionally in other constructions, in place of the regular present or aorist, to make more emphatic a future idea which the infinitive receives from the context. E.g.
'EStrjOrjO-av tSiv Mcyapeuv vavat (T^ai ijvn-rrpoirip.ypf.lv, they asked the Mcgarians to escort them with ships, T. 1,27. Ovk airoKQ)-AvfTiiv SvvaTol ovtc;, not being able to prevent, T. 3,28. In all such cases the future is r.tiictly exceptional (see 1271).
1278. One regular exception to the principle just stated is found in the periphrastic future (1254).
B. In Indirect Discourse.
1279. The term indirect discourse includes all clauses depending on a verb of saying or thinking which contain the thoughts or words of any person stated indirectly, i.e. incorporated into the general Structure of tlie sentence. It includes of course all indirect quotations and questions.

1282. N. The construction of 1280 is the strictly in-ojier use of the future infinitive (127(5; 1277).

The present infinitive may represent, the hnperf/rl as •well as the present indicative,; as riras ti'i^a? rmoXa/ifidvcr £^X€' a^at tov QiXnnrov ot' irnrcvhtv ; what proj/ers do you sup/iose J'luhp viadc when he was pnurhu) HlialimifT (i.e. rivas ijvp')(£to ;), D. 10,1-50. The perfect infinitive likewise represents both perfect and pluperfect. In such cases the time, of the infinitive must always be shown 1)V the context (as above by ot' taniv^tv). Se.e 1289.
2. For the present optative representing the imperfect, see 1488.

1286. Verbs of hoping, expecting, promising, swearing, and a few others, form an intermediate class between verbs which take tlie infinitive in indirect discourse and those wliich do not (see 1270); and though they regularly have the future infinitive (1280), the present and aorist are allowed. E.g.
"Hm£ot> l^a-XV' ioto dai, thei/ expected that there would be a bailie, T.4,71; but u ovTrort r/K-Triaiv vadclv, what he never expected ti> suffery K.//•/*'. 740.

1287. X. The future optative i.s never used except as the representative of the future indicative., either in indirect discourse (see 1280), or in the construction of 1372 (which is governed by the principles of indirect discourse). Even in these the future indicative is generally retained. See also 1503.
ID. TENSES OK THE 1'AUTICIPLE.
1288. The. twises of the participle generally express the same, time as those of the indicative; bar, they are present, past, or future relatively to the time of the verb with which they are connected. E.g.
A/iupTuvti toIto 7rotujy, he errs in doing tliis; yj/xd/)rai'C tovto ttouui/, he erred in doing this; d/MapTi/criTai tovto ttoioiv, he null err in doing this. (lien; ttoiwv is first present, then past, then future, absolutely; but always present to the verb of the sentence.) So iu indirect discourse: o'Sa tovtov ypa
TaCra (.lttovtcs, dirqkOov, having said this, they departed. 'Eirrj-vcaav rot's elpr)KOTa<;, they praised those who had (already) spoken.

1290. N. The aorist participle in certain constructions (generally with a verb in the aorist) does not denote time past with reference to the leading verb, but expresses time coincident with that of the verb. See examples in 1563, 8; 1085; 1585. See Greek Moods, §§ 144-150.
IV. GNOMIC AND ITERATIVE TENSES.
1291. The present is the tense commonly used in Greek, as in English, to denote a general truth or an habitual action. E.g.
TiKTtt rot Kopo9 vfipiv, otov kuku> o/3os (ttijtui, satiety begets insolence, whenever ■prosperity follows the wicked, Theog. 153.
1292. In animated language the aorist is used in this sense. This is called the gnomic aorist, and is generally translated by the English present. E.g.
"Hv Ti? tovtuiv ri Tro.pafJu.ivr], £r)fjuav ovrols iireOicrav, i.e. they impose a penalty on all who transgress, X. C. 1,22. Mi" r)p-(pa tov /xiy Ka&ilcv vipoOev, rov 8' ijp* avui, one day (often) brings down one man from a height and raises another high, E. frag.424.
1293. N. Here one case in past time is vividly used to represent all possible cases. Examples containing such adverbs as iroAAams, often, tjSjj, already, ouiru, never yet, illustrate the construction; a.s a@vp.ovvn>; di/Spts oiirui Tpd-n-cuov iarrjaav, disheartened men never yet raised (i.e. never raise) a trophy, P. Crilias, 108c.
1294. N. An aorist resembling the gnomic is found in Homeric similes; as ■Sjpnrt 8*
1295. The perfect is sometimes gnomic, like the aorist. E.g........
To Be fir] «/A7roSuiv dvui/Tayojvurro) cwota titi/ajjtiu, but those who are not before men's eyes are honored loith a good will which has no rivalry, T.2,45.
1296. The imperfect and aorist are sometimes used with the adverb dv to denote a customary action. E.g.
AiTjpwTwv bv avroi/j ti Xiyouv, I vscd to ask them (I ivould often ask them) what they said, P. Ap.22". IIoAAa»as tjicqvou.ij.iv av v/xos, we used often to hear you, Ar. Lys. 511.

THE PARTICLE 'AN.
1299. The adverb av (epic «e, Doric kol) has two distinct uses.
1. It may be joined to all the secondary tenses of the indicative (in Homer also to the future indicative), and to the optative, infinitive, or participle, to denote that the action of the verb is dependent on some circumstances or condition, expressed or implied. Here it belongs strictly to the verb.
2. It is joined regularly to el, if, to all relative and teinporal words, and sometimes to the final particles &>, 6Vco?, and 6(f>pa, when these are followed by the subjunctive. Here, although as an adverb it qualifies the verb, it is always closely attached to the particle or relative, with which it often forms one word, as in idv,
1300. N. There is no English word which can translate av.
In its first use it is expressed in the would or should of the verb (/SoijAoito av, he would wish; eA.oifiijv av, 1 should choose). In its second use it generally has no force which can be made apparent in English.
1301. N. The following sections (1302-1309) enumerate the various uses of av: when these are explained more fully tjlsewlipvc, reference is made to the proper sections.
1302. The present and perfect indicative never take av.
1303. The future indicative sometimes takes av (or «') in the. early poets, especially Homer; very rarely in Attic Greek. E.g.

1304. 1. The past tenses of the indicative (generally the imperfect or aoiist) are used with &v in a potential sense (1335), or in the apodosis of an unfulfilled condition (1397). E.g.
Ovhiv av kixkov (TTOi-qcrav, they could (or would) have done no harm; rjXOiv av tl €K(cv(ra, he would have come if 1 had commanded him.
2. The imperfect and aoiist indicative with av may also have an iterative sense. (See 1296.)
1305. 1. In Attic Greek the subjunctive is used with av only in the dependent constructions mentioned in 1299, 2, where av is attached to the introductory particle or relative word.
See 1307; 1370; 1382; 1423, 2.
2. Iu epic poetry, where the independent subjunctive often has the sense of the future indicative (1355), it may take k« or av, like the future (130,'J). E.g.
Ei 8t ki jj.rj htlirjcnv, iydj 8c kiv uiiros tAw/uut, and if he does nol give her up, 1 will lake her myself, 11.1,324.
1306. The optative with av luus a potential sense (1327), and it often forms the apodosis of a condition expressed by the optative with el, denoting what would happen if the condition should be fulfilled (1408).
1307. N. The future optative is never used with av (1287).
1308. 1. The present and aorist (rarely the perfect) infinitive azid participle with av represent the indicative or optative with av; each tense being equivalent to the corresponding tense of one of these moods with

1309. The infinitive with av is used chiefly in indirect discourse (1 !.')•!); hut tlie participle with av is more common in other const.riictioiis (sec examples above).
As the early poets who use the future indicative with dv (1303) seldom use this const motion, the future infinitive, and participle with <"v are very rare.
1310. When av is used witli the subjunctive (as in 1200, 2), it is generally separated from the introductory word only bj' monosyllabic particles like //«'?-, 8«, ri, yap, etc.
1311. AVlien ar is used with the indicative or optative, or in any other potential construction, it may cither he placed next to its verb, or be attached to some other emphatic word (as a nega-

1312. In a long apodosis av may be used twice or even three times with the same verb. E.g.
Ovk av yyCurff avrbv kolv €Tri8pafJLtLV; do you not think that he would eoen have rushed thither 1 I).27,50. In T.2,41, av is used three times with irapixiaOai.
1313. "Av may be used elliptically with a verb understood. E.g.

1314. When an apodosis consists of several co-ordinate verbs, av generally stands only with the first. E.g.

1317. The indicative is used in simple, absolute assertions, and in questions which include or concern such assertions; as ypdepet,, he writes; eypa-^ev, he wrote; ypuyp-ei. he will write; yeypcupev, he has written; tL eypd-f-ere; what did you write ? eypaijre tovto ; did he write this?
1318. The indicative has a tense to express every variety of time which is recognized by the Greek verb, and thus it can state a supposition as well as make an assertion in the past, present, or future. It also expresses certain

El tovto aXr/OU io-Tt, ^cupa), if this is true, I rejoice (1390); it lypaipiv, ^A.fJov av, if he had written, 1 should haoe come (1397); tl ypdvjti, yvilxrofiai, if he shall write (or if he writes), J shall know (1405). 'Emfj.tkeiTa.1 ott

1321. N. The subjunctive, in its simplest and apparently most primitive use, expresses simple futurity, like the future indicative; this is seen in the Homeric independent construction, "hwfMu, I shall see; eiVjjo-i rit, one will say. Then, in exhortations and prohibitions it is still future; as iio/itv, let us go; fj.rj 7ron}cr7?T£ tovto, do not do this. In final and object clauses it expresses a future purpose or a future object of fear. In conditional and conditional relative sentences it expresses a future supposition; except in general conditions, where it is indefinite (but never strictly present) in its time.
1322. The various uses of the optative are shown by the following examples: —

1327. The optative with av expresses a future action as dependent on circumstances or conditions. Thus tXOoi. av is he may go, he might {could or v;ould) go, or he would be likely to go, as opposed to an absolute statement like he will go. E.g.

1328. The optative thus used is called potential, and corresponds generally to the English potential forms •with may, can, might, could, would, etc. It is equivalent to the Latin potential subjunctive, as dicas, credas, cernas, putes, etc., you may say, believe, perceive, think, etc. The limiting condition is generally too indefinite to be distinctly present to the mind, and can be expressed only by words like perhaps, possibly, or probably, or by such vague forms as if he pleased, if he should try, if he could, if there should be an opportunity, etc. Sometimes a general condition, like tn any possible case, is felt to be implied, so that the optative with av hardly differs from an absolute future; as in ovk av ixtOcinyv tov Bpovov, 1 will not (would never) give up the throne, At. 7J. 830. See the. examples in 1330.
1329. The potential optative can express every degree of potentiality from the almost absolute future of the last example to the apodosis of a future condition expressed by the optative with « (1408), where the form of the condition is assimilated to that of the conclusion. The intermediate steps may be seen in the following examples: —
Ovk av 8iKcuu>9 cs xaicov Wcrot^i ti, / could not justly fall into any trouble, S. An. 240, where Succuco? points to the condition if jus-lice shoidd be done. Ovtc iffOiovai irXeiw f) hvvavrai

1332. N. Occasionally av is omitted with the potential optative, chiefly in Homer; as ov ti xaKwripov dXXo iradot/u, I could suffer nothing else that is worse, It. 19,321.
1333. N. The Attic poets sometimes omit av after such indefinite expressions as Iutw oo-rs, Icttiv ottojs, cony ottoi, etc.; as iarr ovv ojryr/pa<; fnoXot; is it ] id="iv.i.p8032.2">nssiblc then that Alcestis can come to old aye f E.Al. 02; so 113, and A. Pr.202.
1334. N. For the potential optative in Homer referrii>g to past time, see 1390.
POTENTIAL INDICATIVE.
1335. The past tenses of the indicative with di/ express a past action as dependent on past circumstances or conditions. Thus, while y6cv means lie went, rjxOcv av means he would have gone (under some past circumstances).
1336. This is called the potential indicative; and it probably arose as a past form of the potential optative, so that, while i$ot av meant originally he may go or he would be likely lo go, fjXfltv av meant he may have gone or he would have been likely to go. It is the equivalent of the Latin forms like diceres, you would have said, credcres, you would have believed, cerneres, putares, etc., which are past potential forms corresponding to dicas, credas, cernas, putes, etc. (1328). Thus putet and putaret are equivalent to o'oito av, he would be likely to think, and Zito av, he would have been likely to think.
1337. The potential indicative sometimes expresses (in its original force) what, would have been likely to happen, i.e. might have happened (and perhaps did happen) with no reference to any definite condition. E.g.
'Ytto k(v Taa
286 |
286 SYNTAX. C13SS
1338. Generally, however, the potential indicative implies a reference to some circumstances different from the real ones, so that r/$cy av commonly means he would have gone (if something had not been as it was). The unreal past condition here may be as vague and indefinite as the future condition to which the potential optative refers (1328). E.g.
Oi> yap kiv Zvya.fi(a-9a (iinpf.) &vpdwv av
1339. When no definite condition is understood with the potential indicative, the imperfect with av is regularly past, as it always is in Homer (1308). See the examples in 1338.
The imperfect with av referring to present time, which is common in apodosis after Homer (1307), appears seldom in purely potential expression, chiefly in f/3ovap.r)v av, velleni, / shotdd wish, I should like (which can mean also 1 should have wished) ; as iPov6pLr]v av avrovs a j&r) Ac'-y«v, 1 should like it if they spoke the truth, L. 12,22.
1340. The potential indicative may express every degree of potentiality from that seen in 1337 to that of the apodosis of an unfulfilled condition actually expressed. (Compare the potential optative, 1329.) Here, after Homer, the imperfect with dv may express present time (see. 1397). The intermediate steps to the complete apodosis may be seen in the following examples: —
"Hyert rrjv tip'/"'/1' «/■""? ' oi yap yv o ti ov iiroieiTC, you still kept the peace; for (here was nothing tc/iic'/i you could have done (if you had not), D. 18, 43. HoXXoJ yap av to npyava rjv d£ta, for the tools would be vwrth much (if they had this power), V.Rp. 374d.

1342. The imperative expresses a command, exhortation, or entreaty; as eye, speak thou; favye, begone.1 e t!T(0, let. him come; -^at-povrcov, let them rejoice.
1343. N. A combination of a command and a question is found in such phrases as olo~8' o Spaaov; dost thou know what to do? Ar. Av. 51, where the imperative is the verb of tlin relative clause. So oTcrOa vvv a fxoi ytviuOa ; do you know what must be done fur met K.I.T.12M.
1344. The first person of the subjunctive (generally ■plural) is used in exhortations. Its negative is fit]. E.g.

1345. N. Roth subjunctive and imperative may be preceded by dye (dytr<),
1346. In prohibitions, in the second and third persons, the prestent imperative or the aorist subjunctive is used with fit] and its compounds. E.g.

The two forms here differ merely as present and aorist (1272).
1347. N. The third person of the aorist imperative sometimes occurs in prohibitions; the second person very rarely.
1348. in Homer the independent subjunctive with fiij (generally in the third person) may express fear or anxiety, with a desire to avert the. object of the fear. E.g.

1349. N. This usage occurs also in Euripides and Plato. See Moods and Tenses, §§ 201-204.
1350. Au independent subjunctive with ^17 may express a cautious assertion, or a suspicion that something may be true; and with^ oi a cautious negation, or a suspicion that something may not be true. This is a favorite usage with Plato. E.g.

1376. N. "Kv or m can be used here, as in final clauses (13C7), with 07tu>s or ok and the subjunctive.
1377. In Homer the construction of 1372 with O7rcos and the future is not found; but verbs signifying to j)lan, consider, and try take onus or iiy and the subjunctive or optative. E.g.

III. CLAUSES WITH /iJj AFTKH VERBS OF FEARING, ETC.
1378. After verbs denoting fear, caution, or danger, fii], that or Zes£, takes the subjunctive after primary tenses, and the optative after secondary tenses. The subjunctive may also follow secondary tenses, to retain the mood in which the fear originally occurred to the mind. The negative form is /at) ov (1364). E.g.
$ofiovfMU [AT] tovto ycvijrai (vereor ne aceidat), I fear that this may happen; <$ id="iv.i.p8130.1">o(ioviw.i /xrj ov tovto ytvrjrai (vereor ut aceidat), 1 fear that this may not happen (1364). QpovTi£jj fj.oi o~iybv, I am anxious lent it may be best for me to be silent, X. M. 4,2s9. OvKtTi iirtTi9(vTo, ScSiorts p.rj olttotfir)6iirjo~av, they no longer made attacks, fearing left they should be cut off, X.yl.3,4a.

'Ottu><; py here is the equivalent of fuj, that or lest, in the ordinary construction.

VI. CONDITIONAL SENTENCES.
1381. Iii conditional sentences the clause containing the condition is called the protasis, and that containing the conclusion is called the apodosis. The protasis is introduced by some form of el, if.
Af for ti is sometimes used in Homer.
1382. The adverb dv (epic ice or Kev) is regularly joined to el in the protasis when the verb is in the subjunctive; el with dv forming idv, uv, or rjv. (See 1299,2.) The simple el is used with the indicative and optative. The same adverb dv is used in the apodosis with the optative, and also with the past teases of the indicative when it is implied that the condition is not fulfilled.
1383. 1.. The negative adverb of the protasis is regularly firj, that of the apodosis is ov.
2. When ov stands in a protasis, it generally belongs to some particular word (as in ov noWoi, few, ov
1384. 1. The supposition contained in a protasis may be either particular or general. A particular supposition refers to a definite act or to several definite acts, supposed to occur at some definite time or times; as if he (noiv) has this, he will give it; if he had it, he gave it; if he had had the power, he would have helped me; if he shall receive it (or if he receives it), he will give it; if he should receive it, he would give it. A general supposition refers indefinitely to auy act or acts of a given class, which may be supposed to
295 |
1387] THE MOODS. 295
occur or to Lave occurred at any time; as if ever he receives anything, he (ahcays) gives it; if ever he received anything, he (always) gave it; if (on any occasion) he had had the power, he would (always) have helped me; if ever any one shall (or should) wish to go, he will (or would) always be permitted.
2. Although this distinction is seen in all classes of conditions (as the examples show), it is only in the present and past conditions which do not imply non-fulfilment, i.e. in those of class I. (below), that the distinction affects the construction. Here, however, we have two classes of conditions which contain only general suppositions.
CLASSIFICATION OF CONDITIONAL SENTENCES.
1385. The classification of conditional sentences is based partly on the time to which the supposition refers, partly on what is implied with regard to the fulfilment of the condition, and partly on the distinction between particular and general suppositions explained in 1384.
1386. Conditional sentences have four classes, two (I. and II.) containing present and past suppositions, and two (III. and IV.) containing future suppositions. Class I. has two forms, one (a) with chiefly particular suppositions (present and past), the other (b) with only general suppositions (1. present, 2. past).
1387. We have thus the following forms: —
I. Present and past suppositions implying nothing as to fulfilment of condition:
< (jvotasis) cl with indicative; (apodosis) any (a) Chiefly i'onn of the verb. Ei irpdao-ti tovto, ko.w<; Particular- ) *X"> ?/^'e l's ^Ol'"0 *'"s>'"'l's we^- ^' «'rPa£<

296 SYNTAX. [1388
II. Present and past suppositions implying that the condition is not fulfilled:
(protasis) d with past tense of indicative; (apodosis) past tense of indicative with av. Ei iirpa^t tovto, KaS><; av to-^tv, if Iw ha(l done this, it would have been well. Ei €Trpa
In Latin : si hoc faceret, bene essel (present) ; si hoc fecisset, bene fuisset (past).
III. Future suppositions in more vivid form:

In Latin : si hoc faciet (or fecerit), bene erit.
IV. Future suppositions in less vivid form :
(prot.) d with optative; (apod.) optative with av.
Et 7rpdcr
should do this, it would be well. (See 1408.) In Latin : si hoc facial, bene sit.
1388. N. The Latin commonly agrees with the English in not marking the distinction between the general and the particular present and past conditions by different forms, and uses the indicative in both alike. Occasionally even the Greek does the same (1390).
1389. N. In external form (idv with the subjunctive) the general present condition agrees with the more vivid future condition. But in sense there is a much closer connection between the general and the particular present condition, which in most languages (and sometimes even in Greek) coincide also in form (1388). On the other hand, idv with the subjunctive in a future condition agrees generally in sense with d and the future indicative (1405), and is never interchangeable with d and the present indicative.
I. PRESENT AND PAST CONDITION'S WITH NOTHING

1390. When the protasis simply states a present or

1393] THE MOODS. 297
past particular supposition, implying nothing as to the fulfilment of the condition, it has the indicative with ei. Any form of the verb may stand in the apodosis. E.g.
Ei Tjcrv^tov $iA.Mnros (Lyti., ovkitl 8u Kiytiv, if Philip is keeping peace (with us), we need talk no longer, I). 8,5. Ei (yu> Qui&pov ay you), Kai ipavrov {^lAeA^cr/wii • dAAa yap oiStrepa (
1391. N. Even the future indicative can stand in a protasis of this class if it expresses merely a.present intention or necessity that something shall hereafter be done; as alpt nXr/xTpoy, tl /xaxd, raise your spur, if you are going to fight, Ar.Ao.75i). Here cl /«'AA«s fiaxiaOo-L would be the more common expression in prose. It is important to notice that a future of this kind could never be changed to the subjunctive, like the ordinary future in protasis (1405).
1392. N. For present or past conditions containing a potential indicative or optative (with 5.v), see 1421, 3.
(b) Present and Past Gkneual Sui'i-ositioks.
1393. In general suppositions, the apodosis expresses a customary or repeated action or a general truth in present or past time, and the protasis refers in a general way to any of a class of acts.
1. Present general suppositions have edv with the subjunctive in the protasis, and the present indicative (or some other present form denoting repetition) in the apodosis. E.g.
*Hv eyyvs (XOrj OavaTOS, oi8d? /SovAtrcU 6vt)
2. Past general suppositions have el with the optative in the protasis, and the imperfect indicative (or some other form denoting past repetition) in the apodosis. E.g.

Ei tij avrelnoi, tvOvs riOvrjKii, if any one refused, he was immediately put to death, T. 8,6G. This construction occurs only once in Homer.
1394. N. The gnomic aorist, which is a primary tense (1208), can always be used here in the apodosis with a dependent subjunctive; as rjv tis Trapafialvn, fcrjfiiav uvrois (iredco-av, if any one transgresses, they (always) impose a penalty on him, X. C. 1,22.
1395. N. The indicative is occasionally used in the place of the subjunctive or optative in general suppositions; that is, these sentences may follow the construction of ordinary present and past suppositions (1390), as in Latin and English; as ti tis &vo rj ko! 7r(ov<: ti? rjixtpw: Aoyi'f erai, /xaraios Iutiv, if any one counts on two or even more days, he is a fuol, S. Tr. 9-J4.
1396. N. Here, as in future conditions (HOG), d (without av) is sometimes used with the subjunctive in poetry. ]n Homer this is the more frequent form in general conditions.
11. PRESENT AND PAST CONDITIONS WITH SUPPOSITION CONTRARY TO FACT.
1397. When the protasis states a present or past supposition, implying that the condition is not or wan not fulfilled, the secondary tenses of the indicative are used in both protasis and apodosis. The apodosis has the adverb' av.
The imperfect here refers to present time or to an act as going on or repeated in past time, the aorist to a simple occurrence in past time, and the (rare) pluperfect to an act completed in past or present time. E.g.
TavTa ovk av fSivavro ttouZv, tl /J.rj Sujllttj /xiTftia e'^puvro, they would not he able (as they are) to do this, if they did not lead an abstemious life, X. Cl,'210.

1398. N. In Homer the imperfect in this class of sentences is always past (see II.7,273; 8,130); and the present optative is used where the Attic would have the imperfect referring to present time; as (I f/Ltv Tts tov ovupov aAAos Ivutttiv, i//tvi8os Ktv

Homer has also a past potential optative : see //. 5,85.
1400. 1. The imperfects eSti, xfVv or *XPVV> *£vv> ">K°S rjv, and others denoting oldiijalion, propriety, possibility, and the like, are often used with the infinitive, to form an apodosis implying the non-fulfilment of a condition. "Av is not used here, as these phrases simply express in other words what is usually expressed by the indicative with av.
Thus, eStt ctc toxitov
2. When the present infinitive is used, the construction refers to the present or to continued or repeated action in the past; when the aovist is used, it refers to the past. E.g.
TovcrSt /ir) £rjv tSti, these ought not to be living (as they are), S.Ph.418. M/i'Eiv yap l^r/v. for he might have stood his ground (but did not), 1). 3,17. ©uve iv at XPVV ^apos rixviav, you ought to have died before your children, K. And. 1208.

III. FUTURE CONDITIONS, MOKE VIVID FORM. Subjunctive in Puotasis with Fi'Timu Apodosis.
1403. When a supposed future case is stated distinctly and vividly (as in English, if I shall go, or if 1 go), the protasis has the subjunctive with lav (epic et ice), and the apodosis has the future indicative or some other form of future time. E.g.
Ei ixlv kiv MiviXaov 'AAf'^ai'Spo? Karave4>vr], airrb'; lirtiff EA.eViji' «'^tVu) kuI KTrifMTa. TraVTu., if Alexander shall slay Menclaus, then let him have Helen and alt the goods himself, //.3,281.

'Ear ovv ins vvv, wore tcrei oikol ; if therefore you go now, tvhen will you be at home f X. C. 5,3".
1404. N. The older English forms if he shall go and if he go both express the force of the Greek subjunctive and future indicative in protasis; but the ordinary modern English uses if he goes even when the time is clearly future.
1405. The future indicative with d is very often used for the subjunctive in future conditions, as a still more vivid form of expression, especially in appeals to the feelings, and in threats and warnings. E.g.
Et jxri KaOi^ti'; yXSicaav, tcrnn o"oi Ka«d, if you do not (shall not) restrain your tongue, you will have trouble, E. frag. 5. This common use of the future must not be confounded with that of 1391.
301 |
1413] THE MOODS. 301
1406. N. In Homer ci (without dv or /«') is sometimes used with the subjunctive in future conditions, apparently in the same sense as ct xc or t}v; as «! Si vij' lOikr) okcaai, but if he shall wish to destroy our ship, Od. 12,348. This is more common in general conditions in Homer (see 1396). The same use of el for idv is found occasionally even in Attic poetry.
1407. N. For the Homeric subjunctive with ki in the apodosis of a future condition, see 1305,1'.
IV. FUTURE CONDITIONS, LESS VIVID FORM. Optative in both Protasis and Apodosis.
1408. When a supposed future case is stated in a less distinct and vivid form (as in English, if 1 should go), the protasis has the optative with el, and the apodosis has the optative with dv. E.g.
Eir)<; 4 id="iv.i.p8218.1">op7)Tos ovk av, £i 7rpa
1409. 'Die optative with ay in apodosis is the potential optative : see 1329.
1410. N. The future optative cannot be used in protasis or apodosis, except in indirect discourse representing the future indicative after a past tense (see the second example under 1497,2).
1411. N. Et Kt is sometimes found with the optative in Homer, in place of the simple ti (140S); as d St «

1413. The protasis sometimes is not expressed in its regular form with el or (dv, but is contained in a participle, or implied in an adverb or some other part of the sentence. When a participle represents the protasis,

1421J THE MOODS. 303
1418. The apodosis may be expressed by an infinitive or participle in indirect discourse, each tense representing its own tenses of the indicative or optative (1280; 1285). If the finite verb in the apodosis would have taken av, this particle is used with the infinitive or participle. E.g.
'HyoC/iai, ei touto ttoluti, ttolvtu. KaXai? (^clv, I believe that, if you are doimj tins, all is well; yjyovjMi, (av tovto TTOtr/Tt, irdvTa koAw? iiciv, 1 believe that, if you (shall) do this, all will be well; o*8a fyia?i tav TavTa yivrjrai, cv 7rpa£o>Ta?, J l.'nuw that you will prosper if thin is (shall be) dune. For examples of the infinitive and participle with av, .see 1308.
1419. The apodosis may be expressed in an infinitive not in indirect discourse (1271), especially one depending on a verb of wishing, commanding, advising, <jtc, from which the infinitive receives a future meaning. E.g.
BoiSAtTui iX.Ot'iv lav tovto yfvrjTaL, he wishes to ijo if this (shall) be dune: ko^vrjotft airtXduv, 1 command you to depart if you can. For I In; principle of indirect discourse which appears in the protasis here after past tenses, see 1002,1.
1420. N. Sometimes the apodosis is merely implied in the context, and in such cases u or edv is often to bo translated supposing that, in case that, if perchance, or if haply. E.g.

1421. The protasis and apodosis sometimes belong to different forms.
1. Especially any tense of the indicative with el in the protasis may be followed by a potential optative with av in the apodosis. E.g.

2. Sometimes a subjunctive or a future indicative in the protasis has a potential optative in the apodosis. E.g.
*Hv f<£,'fs f-OL, k(£ai/j.' av, if you (will) permit me, I would fain speak, S. El.boi; oiSt yap a.v TroXXal ye
3. A potential optative (with av) may express a present condition, and a potential indicative (with av) may express a present or past condition ; as tlirip aA.Xu> tu> irei6oifx.r]v av, kcu uol iriiOofuu, if there is any man whom 1 would trust, 1 trust you, P.

Ei St kc fir) Bu>u>criv, lyd> St kiv airos ikuifiai., but if they do not give her up, then I will lake her myself 11.1,137.
El after Verbs of Wondkmho, ktc.
1423. Some verbs expressing wonder, delight, contentment, disappointment, indignation, etc. are followed by a protasis witli d where a causal sentence would often seem more natural. E.g.

VII. RELATIVE AND TEMPORAL SENTENCES.
1425. 1 'ie principles of construction of relative clauses include all temporal clauses. Those introduced by !u>s, vplv, and other particles meaning until, have special peculiarities, and are therefore treated separately (1403-1474).
Relative clauses may be introduced by relative pronouns or adverbs.
1426. The antecedent of a relative is either definite or indefinite. It is definite when the relative refers to a definite person or thing, or to some definite time, place, or manner; it is indefinite when no such definite person, thing, time, place, or manner is referred to. Both definite and indefinite antecedents may be either expressed or understood. E.g.
(Definite.) TauTa a lyui opus, you see these things which I have; or a (w bpas. "Ore i/3ovX(TO yXBev, (once) when he xoished, he came.
(Indefinite.) IlavTa a av j3ojku>vTai ffowiv, they will have every, thing which they way want; or a av (iovXunTai Z£ovcnv, they will have whatever they may want. "Orav iXdy, tovto vpdiui, when he shall come (or when he comes), I will do lids. "On ftovXoiro, tovto lirpaco-tv, whenever he wished, he (always) did this.

DEFINITE ANTECEDENT.
1427. A relative as such has no effect on the mood of the following verb. A relative with a definite antecedent therefore may take the indicative (with ov for its negative) or any other construction which could occur in an independent sentence. E.g.

1429. Conditional relative sentences have.four classes, two (I. II.) containing present and past, and two (III. IV.) containing future conditions, which correspond to those of ordinary protasis (1386). Class I. has two forms, one («) with chiefly particular suppositions, the other (l>) wjth only general suppositions.
1430. I. (a) Present or past condition simply stated, with the indicative, — chiefly in particular suppositions (1390). E.g.

1432. N. The indicative sometimes takes the place of the subjunctive or optative here, as in other general suppositions (1395). This occurs especially with octtis, which itself expresses the same idea oi iixiefiiiitciioss which os with the subjunctive or optative usually expresses; as ooris /xr; tCiv apiaruiv avrcraL fiovktvfid-twv, kolkioto? eivui SokcI, whoever docs not cling to the best counsels seems to be most base, S..'in. 178.

1433. II. Present or past condition stated so as to imply that the condition is not or was not fulfilled (supposition contrary to fact), with the secondary tenses of indicative (1397). E.g.
"A /j.t) ifiovktro Sovvat, ovk av «So)k«i/, lie would no! have given what he had nut wished in yive (like il tivo. /xyj ifiovkiTO 8owcu, ovk av iSuikiv, if he had not wished to give certain things, he would not have given them).

1435. N. The future indicative cannot be substituted for the subjunctive here, as it can in common protasis (1405).
1436. IV. Future condition in the lens vivid form, with the optative (1408). E.g.
"O n fiouk oi to, hoi-qv av, 1 should give Mm whatever he might wish (like tl ti fiovkoiro Botrjv av. if he should wish anything, I should give it). UuvCiv

308 SYNTAX. [1438
and apodosis may have different forms (1421); the relative without av or k« is sometimes found in poetry with the subjunctive (like it for idv or tl kc, 1390; 1400), especially in general conditions in Homer; the relative (like «, 1411) in Iloiner may take ««' or av with the optative; the relative clause may depend on au infinitive, participle, or other construction (1418; 1410); and the conjunction 8e may connect the relative clause to the antecedent clause (1422).
1438. Homeric similes often have the subjunctive with ok ore (occasionally ok or av), sometimes with ok or ore Kivqarj 2ji
ASSIMILATION IX CONDITIONAL RELATIVE CLAUSES.
1439. When a conditional relative clause expressing either a future or a general supposition depends on a subjunctive or optative, it regularly takes the same mood by assimilation. E.g.
'Edv tlvis o'i av Svvojvrai tovto ttoiCxti, KaAuk t£ei, if any who maybe able shall do this, it will be well; 11 tiws ol Suva tiro tovto ttoioIcv, KttXuk av <^ot, if any who should be (or were) able should do this, it viould be well. Ei.'#c 7ravTt? 01 8vvaLvro touto 7roioi«v O that all who may be (or were) able would do this. (Here the optative ttoiouv [1507] makes 01 Swcuito preferable to 01 av &wutvrai, which would express the same idea.) 'E7rei8av wv av irplr)T
1440. Likewise, when a conditional relative sentence depends on a s-.condary tense of the indicative implying the non-fulfilment of a condition, it takes by .assimilation a similar form. E.g.
Et Tti/f? ol iovv avro tovto < 7r pa gav, KuAto? av tl^cv, if any who had been able had done this, it would have been well. EJ iv CKtiVjj tij (fnavrj tc Kal toj Tpomo t yov »V ol? « t c 6pd/x jxtjv, if 1 were speak' ing to you in the dialect and in the manner in which I had been

1441. N. All clauses which come under this principle of assimilation belong (as conditional forms) equally under 1434, 1436, 1431, or 1433. This principle often decides which form shall be used in future conditions (1270, 2).
RELATIVE CLAUSES EXPRESSING PURPOSE.
1442. The relative with the future indicative may express a purpose. E.g.
Tlp«j(itiavTr(fjLiriivtjtis raxrr' iptt «wapiiTTai tois Trpa.yjxaaiv, to send an embassy to say this, and to be present at the transactions, P. 1,2. Ou yap
The antecedent here may be definite or indefinite; but the negative particle is always pi), as in final clauses (1301).
1443. N". Homer generally has the subjunctive (with xe joined to the relative) in this construction after primary tenses, and the optative (without ki) after secondary tenses. The optative is sometimes found even in Attic prose. The earlier Greek here agrees with the Latin.
1444. N. In this construction the future indicative is very rarely changed to the future optative after past tenses.
RELATIVE CLAUSES EXPRESSING RESULT.
1445. The relative with any tense of the indicative, or with a potential optative, may express a result. The negative is ou. E.g.
Tt's outou puiVfTcu ooris oi (3ov(.Tai trot
1446. N. This is equivalent to the use of ware with the finite moods (1450; 1454). It occurs chiefly after negative leading clauses or jntcrrogatives implying a negative.
1447. The relative with a future (sometimes a present)
310 |
310 SYNTAX. [1448

CONSECUTIVE CLAUSES WITH THK INFINITIVE AND THE FINITE MOODS.
1449. "iltiTe (sometimes <« id="iv.i.p8318.1">), so as' *° thaU is used with the infinitive and with the indicative to express a result.
1450. With the infinitive (the negative being ixi)), the result is stated as one which the action of the leading verb tends to produce; with the indicative (the negative being oi), as one which that action actually does produce. E.g.
n
1451. T. These two constructions are essentially distinct in their nature, even when it is indifferent to the general sense which is used in a (jivon case; as in oijtois iarl 8tivos <7T< 81x771' /xij 8i8ovtti, Ac> is so skilful «■> not in be. punished, and ovt? ion 8cii'6s
The use of fxy with the infinitive and of oi witli the indicative shows that the distinction was really felt. When the infinitive with were has oi, it generally represents, in indirect discourse, an indicative with ov of the direct form (see Moods and Tenses, §§ 504-598).

1467. Clauses introduced by Jfwj etc. frequently imply a purpose; see the examples under M05. When such clauses depend upon a past tense, they admit the double construction of indirect discourse (1502, 3), like final clauses (13G9).

1469. Tlplv is followed by the infinitive, and also (like em?) by the finite moods.
1470. In Homer npiv generally has the infinitive without reference to its meaning or to the nature of the leading verb. But in other Greek it has the infinitive chiefly when it means simply before and when the leading clause is affirmative; it has the finite moods only when it means until (as well as before), and chiefly when the leading verb is negative or implies a negative. It has the subjunctive and optative only after negatives.

words of the original speaker or writer (i.e. of the oratio recta). In an indirect quotation or question {oratio obliqua) the original words conform to the construction of the sentence in which they are quoted.
Thus the words ravra fiovXo/jiai may be quoted either directly, Xiyu n? "ravra fiovXofiai," or indirectly, Xiyu tis on Tuvra /JouAtrai or
1476. Indirect quotations may be introduced by oti or o>v, that, with a finite verb, or by the infinitive (as in the above example); sometimes also by the participle.

3. Ovviko. and oOovviko, that, sometimes introduce indirect quotations in poetry.
1479. Indirect questions follow the same principles as indirect quotations with on or to?, in regard to their moods and tenses.
For the words used to introduce indirect questions, see 1005 and 1000.
1480. The term indirect discourse applies to all clauses (even single clauses in sentences of different construction) which indirectly express the words or thought of any person, even those of the speaker himself (see 1502).
1481. Indirect quotations after b'n and w? and indirect questions follow these general rules : —
1. After primary tenses, each verb retains both the mood and the tense of the direct discourse.
2. After past tenses, each indicative or subjunctive of the direct discourse may be either changed to the same tense of the optative or retained in its original mood and tense. But all secondary tenses of the indicative in unreal coudi-tions (1397; 1433) and all optatives remain unchanged.
316 |
316 SYNTAX. [1482
1482. N. The imperfect and pluperfect, having no tenses in the optative, generally remain unchanged in all kinds of sentences (but. see 1488). The aorist indicative likewise remains unchanged when it belongs to a dependent clause of the direct discourse (1497, 2). (See 1499.)
1483. When the quotation depends on a verb which takes the infinitive or participle, its leading verb is changed to the corresponding lense of the infinitive or participle (Zi> being retained when there is one), and its dependent verbs follow the preceding rule (1481).
1484. 'Av is never omitted with the indicative or optative in indirect discourse, if it was used in the direct form; but when a particle ov a relative word has av with the subjunctive in the direct form, as in idv, orav, os av, etc. (1299, 2), the av is dropped when the subjunctive is changed to the optative after a past tense in indirect discourse.
1485. N. "Ar is never added in indirect discourse when it was not used in the direct form.
1486. The negative particle of the direct discourse is regularly retained in the indirect i'onn. (But see 1496.)
SIMPLE SENTENCES IN INDIRKCT DISCOURSE.

1494. Each tense of the infinitive or participle in indirect discourse represents the tense of the finite verb which would be used in the direct form, the present and perfect including the imperfect and pluperfect. Each tense with av can represent the corresponding tenses of either indicative or optative with dv. E.g.

See examples of av with inl'mitive and participle in 1308. For the present infinitive and participle as imperfect, see 1285 and 1280.

Thus in ftovkcTai i e7v, he wishes to go, IXOiiv represents no form of either aorist indicative or aorist optative, and is not in indirect discourse. But in <^tjav iXdtlv, he says that he went. IX&tiv represents rjBov of the direct discourse. (See Greek Moods and Tenses, § 681.)
1496. The regular negative of the infinitive and participle in imttrect discourse is oil, but exceptions occur. Especially the infinitive after verbs of hoping, promising, and swearing (see ]280) regularly has p.r) for its negative; as )xr)hiv eipijxtVai, he swvre that he had said nothing, D.2), 1J9.
INDIRECT QUOTATION OK COMPLEX SENTENCES.
1497. 1. When a complex sentence is indirectly quoted, its leading verb follows the rule for simple sentences (1487-1494).
2. After primary tenses the dependent verbs retain the same mood and tense. After past tenses, dependent primary tenses of the indicative and all dependent subjunctives may either be changed to the same tense of the optative or retain their original wood and tense. When a subjunctive becomes optative, av is dropped, tdv, '6-rav, etc. becoming ei, ore, etc. Rut dependent secondary tenses of the indicative remain unchanged. E.y.

1499. The aorisl indicative is not changed to the aorist optative in dependent clauses, because in thpso th< id="iv.i.p8434.1"> aorist optative generally represents the aorist subjunctive.
The present indicative is seldom changed to the present optative in dependent clauses, for a similar reason. For the imperfect and pluperfect, see 1482.

1502. The principles of 1497 apply also to all dependent clauses after past tenses, which express indirectly the past thought of any person. This applies especially to the following constructions: —
1. Clauses depending on an infinitive after verbs of wishing, commanding, advising, and others which imply thought but do not take the infinitive in indirect discourse (1495).
2. Clauses containing a protasis with the apodosis implied in the context (1420), or with the apodosis expressed in a verb like fc^w (1423).
3. Temporal clauses expressing a past intention, purpose, or expectation, especially those introduced by eW or -npiv.
4. Even ordinary relative sentences, which would regularly taku the indicative.

On this principle, clauses introduced by "va, ottws, 10s, 64>pa, and fvfj admit the doulile construction of indirect discourse, and allow the subjunctive or future indicative to stand unchanged after past, tenses (see 13C9). The same principle extends to all conditional and all conditional relative and temporal sentences depending on clauses with Iva, etc., as these too belong to the indirect discourse.

A potential optative or indicative may stand in a causal sentence: see ]). 18,49 and 70.
1506. N. On the principle of indirect discourse (1302), a causal sentence after a past tense may have the optative, to imply that the cause is assigned on the authority of some other person than the writer; as rov ITfpirtAc'a CKaKi[ov, on orpuT^yos a>v ovk ivc$ayoi, they abused Pericles, because (as they said) being general At did not lead then out, T.2,21. (This assigns the Athenians' reason for abusing Pericles, but does not show the historian's opinion.)
X. EXPRESSION OF A WISH.
1507. When a wish refers to the future, it is expressed by the optative, either with or without e'.'de or el yap (Homeric also aWe, at iydp~), 0 that, 0 if. The negative" is ju.)/, which can stand alone with the optative. E.g.
Y/uv Otoi Soitv CK7rcp<7v>ay the O'ods grant to you to destroy Priam's city, 7/. 1,18. At yapjp.ol TOcro-TjvSc 0toi Bvva-juv TripiButv, O that the Gods would clothe me with so much strength, Od.3,20j.

1510. In poetry, especially in Homer, the optative alone sometimes expresses a. concession or permission, sometimes a command or exhortation; as alrts 'Apyd-nv "EXcyrjf MtviXaos dyoiTO, Menclaus may lake, back A r give Helen, II.4,19. Te^Ku'ijs, w lipoir, rj k
(See Appendix I. in Greek Moods and Tenses, pp. 371-3S9.)
1511. When a wish refers to the present or the past, and it is implied that its object in not or was not attained, it is expressed in Attic Greek by a secondary tense of the indicative with eWe or el yap, which here cannot be omitted. The negative is y.i). The imperfect and aorist are distinguished here as in protasis (1397). Kg.
EWt. toC'to iiroiti, 0 that he were doing this, or 0 that he had done this. HWc toOto tttoc'tjct£v, 0 that he had done this; d yap firj iyivcro rovro, 0 that thin had not happened. EW ttxcs ftiXriovs

ti/3oifLi f$lrj St fxai ifxniZos tit], 0 that I were again as young and my strength were firm, 11.11,670.
This corresponds to the Homeric use of the optative in unreal conditions and their apodoses (1398). In both constructions the present optative is commonly future in Homer, as in other Greek.
1515. Homer never uses the indicative (1511) in wishes. He always expresses a past wish by the construction with uxjxkov (1512), and a present wish sometimes by ufaXov and sometimes by the present optative (1514).
THE INFINITIVE.
1516. 1. The infinitive is originally a neuter verbal noun, with many attributes of a verb. Thus, like a verb, it has voices and tenses; it may have a subject or object; and it is qualified by adverbs, not by adjectives.
2. When the definite article came into use with other nouns (see 937, 4), it was used also with the infinitive, which thus became more distinctly a noun with four cases.
For the subject of the infinitive, see 895. For the case of predicate nouns and adjectives when the subject is omitted, see 927
INFINITIVE WITHOUT THE ARTICLE. As StinjECT, Predicate, Onjr.cr, on Ai-positive.
1517. The infinitive may be the subject nominative of a finite verb (especially of an impersonal verb, 898, or of eo-Ti), or the subject accusative of another infinitive. It may be a predicate nominative (907), and it may stand in apposition to a noun (911). E.g.
Hvveflri aira 18c"lv, it happened to Mm to go; c£rjv //.fVctv, it was possible to remain; ijSv ttoAAois i^6poiK «xt'l'> '" '' P^eu:ia"1 t0 have many enemies? $>r)
326 |
326 SYNTAX. [1018
1518. The infinitive may be the object of a verb. It generally has the force of an object accusative, sometimes that of an accusative of kindred signification (1051), and sometimes that of an object genitive.
1519. The object infinitive not in indirect discourse (1495) follows verbs whose action naturally implies another action as its object, especially tbose expressing wish, command, advice, cause, uttempt, intention, prevention, ability, fitness, necessity, or their opposites. Such verbs are in general the same in Greek as in English, and others will be learned by practice.^ The negative is /xr/. E.g.
BovAerai cXdtlv, he wishes to go; fiovXiraL rots TroAiVas TroXt-[UKuvi clvai, he wishes the citizens to be warlike; vapai.voiifj.iv
1520. X. The tenses here used are chiefly the present and aorist, and these do not differ in their time (1272). In this construction the infinitive h;is no more reference to time than any other verbal noun would have, hut the meaning of the verb generally gives it a reference to the future; as in d-iiovrai Oavilv(above) davtiv expresses time only so far as davdrov «ould do so in its place.
1521. The infinitive may depend on a noun and a verb (generally icrri) which together are equivalent to a verb which takes an object infinitive (lfilO). E.g.
'AvdyKr] e'crri wavra% aircXdt'iv, there is a necessity that all should vn'thdrvii'; kiVSvvos tjv avr<2 tt
For the infinitive with rov depending on a noun, see 1547.
1522. 1. The infinitive in indirect discourse (1495) is
327 |
1626J THE INFINITIVE. 327
generally the object of a verb of saying or thinking or some equivalent expression. Here each tense of the infinitive corresponds in time to the same tense of some finite mood. See 1494, with the examples.
2. Many verbs of this class (especially the passive of Xiyw) allow both a personal and an impersonal construction. Thus we can say Xc'ycnu 6 KCpo? iKOuv, Cyrus is mid to have gone, or Xlytrai rbv Kvpov i6uv, it is said that Gyms ivent. Aoxt'u), seem, is generally used personally; as bond Hvax
1523. 1. Of the three common verbs meaning to stay, —

(b) cTt-ov regularly takes on or

Other verbs which regularly take the infinitive in indirect discourse are olofini, r/yio^iu, i-o/xc'£uj, and S
2. Exceptional cases of ilxov with the infinitive are more common than those ol <£i;/u' with ort or ojs (which are very rare).
EiTroi'. cuvniiomlcd, takes the infinitive regularly (1519).
For th« two constructions allowed after verbs of hoping, expecting, etc., see 1280.
1524. N. A relative clause depending on an infinitive in indirect discourse sometimes takes the infinitive by assimilation; as itruSr] Se ytvicrOai cm rfj o'lkio, ((4>y) Oivcyii.ivr)v KCLTakanffavciv ti)v Ovfyjy, and when they came to the house, {he said) they found the door open, P. Sy. 174d. Herodotus allows this assimilation even after il, if, and Siurt, hecausc.
1525. Tn narration, the infinitive often seems to stand for the indicative, when it depends on some word like XeyeraL, it is said, expressed or even implied in what precedes. E.g.
'AiriKO)j.ivov<; oe €9 rb 'Apyos, SiarCQtaOai tov

Infinitive with Adjectives.
1526. The infinitive may depend on adjectives corresponding in meaning to verbs which take an object infinitive (1519), especially those expressing ability, fitness, desert, willingness, and their opposites. E.g.
Awaro? iroitij' tovto, able to do this; Sfiiw Xtyctv, skilled in speaking; d£ios tovto Xajitlv, worthy to receive this: 7rpo#v/jios X.I-yiiv, eager to speak. MaXaxol KapTcpc7v, (too) effeminate to endure, P. lip. uuC1'; ivto-Trjfx.wv XiytivTe ko! aLyav, knowing how both to speak and to be silent, P. PMr. 270*.
So toiovtoi oIol wovrjpov twos tpyov I
1527. K. &iKau>s,just, and some other adjectives may thus be used personally with the infinitive; as SiWatds icrTt tovto Troic.lv, he has a rigid to do this (equivalent to &Uaiov ioTiv avrbv tovto xoitTv).
Limiting Infixitive with Ailiectivks, Adverbs, and Nouns.
1528. Any adjective or adverb may take an infinitive to limit its meaning to a particular action. E.g.
®ea/jia alcr^pov bpav, a sight disgraceful to behold; 6yoi v/uv Xpr](rif 'i>TuToi. axovaai, words most useful for you to hear; to. ^(aXi-TTi'oraTa ilptlv, the things hardest tojind. TIoXiTtia 17*10-™ ^aXiirrj

to rule me, P.Ap.26*. Trjv tt6X.iv
2. Here, as with adjectives (1529), the infinitive is active rather than passive; as ktolvciv c/W viv i&ocrav, they gave her to me to kill (to be killed), E. 7Vo.874.
1533. N. In Homer, where ware only rarely has the sense of so as (1455), the simple infinitive may express a result: as tis
dOai; who brought them into conflict so as to contend? 11. 1,8.
Absolute Infinitive.
1534. The infinitive may stand absolutely in parenthetical phrases, generally with ok or ouov. E.g.
The most common of these is ok twos cittiIv or cos iIttuv, so to speak. Others are ok
Herodotus has ok Adyoj elwelv and ov iroAAco Ao'yw ilmiv, not to make a long story, in short.
1535. X. In certain cases tlvai seems to be superfluous; especially in iKwv iZvo.i, willing or willingly, which generally stands in a negative sentence. So in to vvv rival, at present; to r-qp.ipov rival, to-day; ro in ixfivois elvat and similar phrases, as far as depends on them; rrjv Trpuirrjv rival, alfirst, Hd. 1,153; Kara tovto rival, so far as concerns this, P./-*r.317*; ok iraXaia tlvai, considering their age, T. 1,21; and some other phrases.

Tpaius UnciO' 'EA/vTjy aTroSowai, let the Trojans then surrender Helen ( = a7roSouv), II. :!,285.
1538. X. This construction (1537) has been explained by supplying a vwb like 805, (/rant (see 86? Tiaacrdai, grant that I may take vengeance, 11.3,Ml), or yivono, may it be.
1539. N. For the infinitive in exclamations, which generally has tlie article,*see 1054.
1540. In laws, trraties, and proclamations, the infinitive often depends on tSo£e or S.'&wcrai, be it enacted, or kit is commanded; which may be expressed in a previous sentence ov understood. E.g.
£^iKat,iLV hi rrji> iy *Apa'a) 7rayw ifrovov, and (be it enacted) that the Senate on the Areopagus shall hurt? jurisdiction in cases of murder, D. 23,22. *Ettj 8i cZVat to? oirov$a<; irtvTiJKovTa., and thai the treaty shall continue fifty yaws, T. 0, 18. 'AxoutTt A.c
INFINITIVE WITH THE ARTICLE.
1541. When the infinitive has the article, its character as a neuter noun becomes more distinct, while it loses none of its attributes as a verb. The addition of the article extends its use to many new constructions, especially to those with prepositions; and the article is sometimes allowed even in many of the oldertxmstructions in which the infinitive, regularly stands alone.
Ini-initive with to a« Scuject or Objkct.
1542. The subject infinitive (1.517) may take the article to make it more distinctly a noun. E.g.

else than to seem to be wise without being so, P. Ap. 29*. The predicate infinitive^ here omit the article (1517). See 906.
1543. The object infinitive takes the article chiefly after verbs which do not regularly take the simple infinitive (see 1519), or when the relation of the infinitive to the verb is less close than it usually is. Eg.
To TekiVTr/aai Trdvruiv tj irnrpii>fjL(vr] KaTiKpiviv, Fair: adjudged dealt) lo all (liko ddvarov rravrav Kartxpivtv), 1.1,43; « to kojAwoi ttjv tu>v EAAryi/wi/ koivu)v[o.v liT(.7rpOLKHv £y^tAtVTraj, if 1 had sold lo Philip the prevention of the unity of t lie (Jreeks (i.e. had prevented this as Philip's hireling), D. 18,23. T6 £vvoikciv rfjh" bp.ov r« av yvvrj Suvmro ; to live with her — what woman cuutd do it? S. Tr. 545.
1544. N. Sometimes in poetry the distinction between the object infinitive with and without to is hardly perceptible ; as in rX-qo-Ofuit. to Kardavtiv, I shall endure to die, A. Ag. 1290; to Spav ovk i)6i ](rav, they were unwilling lo act, S. 0. C. 442.
Infinitive with to with Adjectives and Nouns.
1545. N. The infinitive with to is sometimes used with the adjectives and nouns which regularly take the simple infinitive (152G). E.g.
To y3i'a itokiTuiv Spav (
Infinitive with tov, tw, ok to in Various Constructions.
1546. The genitive, dative, or accusative of the infinitive with the article may depend on a preposition. E.g.

and adjectives, the dative of cause, manner, or means, and the dative after verbs and adjectives. E.g.
ToC ■nulv t7ri6v/j.M, a desire to drink, T.7,84; wols to o~iyav xpuTTov Z
1548. The infinitive with toC may express a purpose, generally a negative purpose, wliere with ordinary genitives cvtKo. is regularly used (see 1127). E.g.
'EfT(.i^[o6rj'ATaavTv, tov /it] Atjcttol? KaKOvpyiiv ttjv Evfioiav, Atalante was fortified, that pirates might not ravage Euboea, T.2,32. Mci/cus to XrjCTtKov KaOn'pu, tov ra? irpcxroSou? fiaXXov ccval avTw, Minos put down piracy, that his revenues might come in more abundantly, T. 1,4.
1549. Verbs and expressions denoting hindrance or freedom from anything allow either the infinitive with to? (1547) or the simple infinitive (1519). As the infinitive after such verbs can take the negative /xi; without affecting the sense (1615), we have a third and fourth form, still with the same meaning. (See 1551.) E.g.
El'py« ere tovto ttoiiIv, elpyct crc tov tovto -noniv, ilpyu ere /latj tovto 7tol,(.1v, tlpyu crc toC fir) tovto iroiilv, all meaning he prevents you from doing this.

1550. N. When the leading verb is negatived (or is interrogative implying a negative), the double negative fx.rj ou is generally used ■with the infinitive rather than the simple fir} (101C), so that we can say ovk etpyct crc ixrj ov tovto ttolciv, he does not prevent you front doing this. Tov/x^ov7roiclvis rarely (if ever) used.
1551. The infinitive with to m1? may ^e '"sed after expressions denoting hindrance, and also after all which even, imply
333 |
1555] THE INFINITIVE. 333
prevention, omission, or denial. This infinitive with to is less closely connected with the leading verb than are the forms before mentioned (1549), and it may often be considered an accusative of specification (1058), and sometimes (as after verbs of denial) an object accusative. Sometimes it expresses merely a result. E.g.
Tw 0/uA.ov tlpyov to /xr) tol e'yyvs rfji 7roXe
Thus we have a fifth form, tlpyu at to /xr) tovto iroitiv, added to those given in 1049, as equivalents of the English he prevents you from doing this.

1553. N. The infinitive with tov /x^ and with to /xr; may also be used in tlin ordinary negative sense; as oiSe/xc'u 7rpo<^acrts tov /xr) Spav Tuvra, no ground for not doing this, P. Ti.20c.
1554. 1. The infinitive with to may be used in exclamations, to express surprise or indignation. E.g.
Trjs /xoptus' to Aia vo/xi^tLv, 6Vru rnXiKOvrovi, what folly! to believe in Zeus, now you are so big! Ar.N.819. So in Latin : Mene incepto dcsislere victani!
2. The article here is sometimes omitted; as toiovtovi rp((f>tiv KuVa, to keep a dog like that! Av. V. 835.
1555. The infinitive with its subject, object, or other adjuncts (sometimes including dependent clausos) may be preceded by to, the whole standing as a single noun in any ordinary construction. E.g.

THE PARTICIPLE.
1557. The participle is a verbal adjective, and has three uses. First, it may express an attribute, qualifying a noun like an ordinary adjective (1559-1502); secondly, it may define tlie circumstances under which an action takes place (1563-1577); thirdly, it may be joined to certain verbs to supplement their meaning, often having a force resembling that of the infinitive (1578-1593).
1558. N. These distinctions are not, always exact, and the same participle may belong' to more than one class. Thus, in 6 firj Saptis avdpiDTros, the wifiogged man, Sapik is both attributive and conditional (1063, 5).
ATTIUnUTlVE PARTICIPLE.
1559. Tlie participle may qualify a noun, like an attributive adjective. Here it may often be translated by a relative and a finite verb, especiallj' when it has the article. E.g.
"O Trap.wi' Katpos, the present occasion, D.3,3; 8toi nliv iovn^, immortal Gods, 11.21, 518; ttoA.cs *aAA« 8ia
1560. 1. Tlie participle with the article may be used substantively, like any adjective. It is then equivalent to he who or those ivho with a finite verb. E.g.
Ol KpttToCvrts, the conquerors; ol Trnrna/xtvoi, those who have been convinced; vapa tois apio~Toi<; SoKovatv tlvai. amonq those who seem to be best, X. M.4,28; 6 rrjy yi>u>fir]v Tavrrjv (.liriv, the one who gave this opinion, T.8,OS; rois 'Apxabuiv cr

'_'. The article is sometimes omitted; as TroXifiovvrwi' irdAis, a city of belligerents, X. C'.7.578.
1561. N. Sometimes a participle becomes so completely a noun that it takes an object genitive instead of an object accusative; as o (Ktivov tikwv, kit jathev (for 6 itctivov tckuJv), 10. El.lioo.
1562. N. The neuter participle with the article is sometimes used as an abstract noun, like the infinitive; as to &t8ios,fear, and to Oapcrow, courage, for to ScSkVui and to Oupcrilv, T. 1,30. Compare to xaXov for to koAXos, beauty. In both cases the adjective is used for the noun.
CIllCUMSTANTlAL PARTICIPLE.
1563. The participle may define the circumstances of an action. Il may express the following relations: —
1. Time; the tenses denoting various points of time, which is relative to that of the verb of the sentence (1288). E.g.
Tuvru tVpuTTt or par-qyCiv, he did this while lie was general; tuOtu 7rpa£ti CTpaTj^yojv, lie will do this while he is general. Tupuyvcijcru? hi irr) Tpia 'Ittttuz? lu>pu i% 2i'y
2. Cause. E.g.

.3. Meunx, manner, and similar relations, including manner of employment. E.g.
lpo(.i(TO fj-HWov tois yo/jiois ffji/j.fvu)v avoOavtiv t) Trapavo-/xiuv £yjv, he preferred to die abiilini/ b'l the laws rather than to live tranigressinq them. yi.M.4.'*. ToCto iiroiqtn A a 0 m v, he did thin secretly. 'Ani.Sijfx.ci. rpirjpapxw, he was absent on duty as trie.rareh. Arj^ofxcvoi {fixjiv, they live by plunder, X. C.3,'255.
4. Purpose or intention; generally expressed by the future participle. E.g.
THA#£ kixro/xtvo'; &vyu.Tpa, he came In ransom his daughter, II. 1,13. T](fjL7rciv 7rp(a/?fi9 TCU'Ta ipovvTas kul Avrrui'Opov aiTryctovtcis, to send antbassai/ors to say this and In ask for Lysander, X. 11.2,1°.
5. Condition; the tenses of the participle representing the corresponding tenses of the indicative, subjunctive, or optative, in all classes of protasis.
See 1413, where examples will be found.

330 SYNTAX. [1004
6. Opposition, limitation, or concession; where the participle is generally to be translated by although and a verb. E.g.
'OkCya Swdfiivonrpoopav iroWa i-rnxupoxifnv irpaTTtiv, although we arc able to foresee few thing*, we try to do many things, X.C. 3,216.
7. Any attendant circumstance, the participle being merely descriptive. This is one of the most common relations of this participle. E.g.
'Epxtrai rov vlbv txov
The participle here can often be best translated by a verb, as in the last example.
8. That in which the action of the verb consists. E.g. Td8' ttirc A. Ag.20o. Ev y iTToirj-
aa^ dca/ivT/o-as fj.c, you did well in reminding vie, P.Ph.dO". For the time of the aorist participle here, see 1290.
1564. N. Certain participles of time and manner have almost the force of adverbs by idiomatic usage. Such are apxofitvos, at first; TfXcvrSiv, at last, finally; huxXurwv ypovov, after a while,
"Avtp dpx"/x£vos &Tov, as I said at first, T.4,0-1. 'Eo-tVftroy

1567. N. The same participle may sometimes be placed under more than one of these heads (U>08).
Genitive and Accusative Adsolute.
1568. When a circumstantial participle belongs to a noun which is not grammatically connected with the main construction of the sentence, they stand together ' in the genitive absolute. E.g.
'Avljirj oiScyo? ko)Aix>vto5, he made the ascent with no one interfering, X.A.l,2~2. See 1J52, and the examples there given.
Sometimes a participle stands alone in tlie genitive absolute, when a subject can easily be supplied from tlie context, or when some general subject, like avdpunruv or Trpayfidrtiiv, is understood; as 01 TroAc/itoi, irpocriovnov, t«'cus piv rjcrv^a^ov, but the enemy, as they (men before mentioned) c«wie on, kept quiet for a time, X..4.5,4". Ovtoj 8' (6vriov, tic6 (ianv), k.t.X-, and thin being the rase (sc. -npay-/ihxtiov), it is likely, etc. X. A.'A,210. So with verbs like vu (897,5); as vovtos ttoWw, when it was ruining heavily (where originally Aids was understood), X.W.I, I10.
1569. The participles of impersonal verbs stand in the accusative absolute, in the neuter singular, when otheis would be in the genitive absolute. So passive participles and ov, when they are used impersonally. E.g.
Ti 8tj, lyius i£bv airoXccrai, ovk £tti tovto rjkdofxtv', why now, when we might hove destroyed you, did we not proceed to do it? X. A.2,5W.
Oi 8' oi (3or)0r'i

SUPPLEMENTAKY PARTICIPLE.
1578. The supplementary participle completes the idea expressed by the verb, by showing to what its action relates. It may belong to either the subject or the object of the verb, and agree with it in case. E.g.
Xiavofj.lv at XiyovTa, we stop you from speaking; Travo/jnOa Xt'yovTts, we cease speaking.
1579. This participle has many points of resemblance to the infinitive in similar constructions. In the use of the participle (as in that of the infinitive) we must distinguish between indirect discourse (where each tense preserves its force) and other constructions.
Pai!th:h>lu not in Indikect Discourse.
1580. In this sense the participle is used with verbs signifying to begin, to continue, to endure, to persevere, to cease, to repent, to be vieary, to be pleased, displeased, or ashamed; and with the object of verbs signifying to permit or to cause to cease. E.g.
Hp^ov xaAtirttivo)1', ^ was Die Jivst to be angry, II.2,378; ovk av(£ofw.i £(L
1581. Some of these verbs also take the infinitive, but generally with some difference of meaning; thus, aicr^weTai toDto A«-yfij', he is ashamed to sni/ this (and does not say it), — see 1580; a7roKu.ij.vti. tovto ttoi«?v, lie ceases to do this, through tueariness (but d7roi

1582. The participle may be used with verbs signifying to perceive (in any way), to find, or to represent, denoting an act or state in which the object is perceived, found, or represented. E.g.
'OpC> ere. KpviTTQVTa xc'Pa> I see you hiding your hand, E.

1584. The participles (3ovX6/xtvor/So/xtyos, pleased, vpoaSc^Ofj.cyo':, expecting, and some others, may agree in case with a dative which depends on ii/ii, yiyvufiuxi, or some similar verb. E.g.

The perfect participle here has its ordinary force.
1587. N. The participle with SiartXt'o, continue (15S0), o'xo-/xai, be gone (1200), 6a/xl£vi, be wont or be frequent, and soinu others, expresses the leading idea; but the aorist participle with these has no peculiar force; as o"x£t

1588. With many verbs the participle stands in indirect discourse, each tense representing the corresponding tense of a finite mood.
Such verbs are chiefly those signifying to see, to hear or learn, to perceive, to know, to be ignorant of, to remember, to forget, to show, to appear, to prove, to acknowledge, and ayyeXko), announce. JE.g.

VERBAL ADJECTIVES. 343
VERBAL ADJECTIVES IN -tios AND -Wov.
1594. The verbal in -teo? has both a fwrsonal and an impersonal construction, of which the latter is more common.
1595. In the personal construction it is passive in sense, and expresses necessity, like the Latin participle in -dus, agreeing with the subject. E.g.
'Q(f>e ]Tin aoi ?/ ttoAis IotIv, the city mvsl be benefited by you, X. M. 3, G8. AAAas /ieTu7r«/xirWa« ilvai (i(f>rj), he said that other (ships) must be sent for, T. 6,25.
1596. N. The noun denoting the agent is here in the dative (1188). This construction is of course confined to transitive verbs.
1597. Iii the impersonal construction the verbal is in the neuter of the nominative singular (sometimes plural), with ari expressed or understood. The expression is equivalent to Bel, (one) mvst, with the infinitive. It is practically active in sense, and allows transitive verbals to have an object like their verbs.
The agent is generally expressed by the dative, sometimes by the accusative. E.g.
TaOra r)/XLV (or ij/«k) iroi-qriov itrriv, we. must do this (equiva-lent to Tuvra r)ixa<; Set iroujcrat). OiUTe'oi' to8«, we must bear these things (sc. rjiuv), K. O.7G9. Ti' av air
1598. N. Though the verbal in -rioy allows both the dative and the accusative of the agent (1188). the equivalent Sel with the infinitive allows only the accusative (1102).
1599. N. The Latin has this construction (1597), but generally only with verbs which do not take an object accusative; as Kun-dum est tibi (hcov eon'trot),— Moriendum est omnibus. So Bello utendum est nobis (ru 7roe'/xa) xprj&Ttov IcttIv rji^v), we must go to war. The earlier Latin occasionally has the exact equivalent of the Greek impersonal cons!ruction; as Aeternas poenas thnendum est, Lucr. 1,112. (See Madvig's Latin (irainmar, § 421.)

INTERROGATIVE SENTENCES.
1600. All interrogative pronouns, pronominal adjectives, and adverbs can be used in both direct and indirect questions. The relative ocms (rarely os) and the relative pronominal adjectives (429) may be used in indirect questions.
i Xeyu; what does he sayf lloVe rj6(v; when did he come? eiSts; how many did you see? "Hpovro ri Xtyoi (or o tl Ac'yoi), they asked what he said. "HpovTO iron (or o7roVe) r/X&cv, they ashed when he came. 'Opa.% 17/ias, ocroi
1601. N. The Greek, unlike the English, freely uses two or more interrogatives with the same verb. E.g.
'H tiji t 1 aTrohtSovcra rtxyrj BiKaioavvr] av KaXolro; the art which renders what to what would be called Jvsticef P. Rp. 832"1. Seethe five interrogatives (used for comic effect) in D. 4,30: irpoot&cv tKaaTos Tts xopTjyos,. . . irore xai irapa tov ko.1 ri Xafiovra ri Set ttouIv, meaning everybody knows who the xop^yos is to be, what he is to get, when and from whom he is to yet it, and what he is to do with it.
1602. N. An interrogative sometimes stands as a predicate with a demonstrative; as n tovto tXt&ts; what is this that you said? (= tAffus tovto, tl ov; lit. you said this, being what?) ; TtVus rovcrS' do-opw; who are these that 1 see f E. Or. 1347.
Such expressions cannot be literally translated.
.1603. The principal direct interrogative particles are apa. and (chiefly poetic) 19. These imply nothing as to the answer expected ; but apa ov implies an affirmative and apa ixrj a negative answer. Ov and fx-q are used alone with the same force as with Jpa. So p.u>v (for //.t) ovv) implies a negative answer, and ovkovv, therefore (with no negative force), implies an affirmative answer. E.g.
TH (rxoXrj tcrrai; will there be leisure ? *Ap* tlai rive? a£ioi; are there any deserving ones ? *Ap* ov ftovXecrOe (X6elv; or oi flovXurOc iXOciv; do you not wish to go (i.e. you wish, do you not) ?

1607. The Greek has two negative adverbs, ov and ^ Wliat is said of each of these generally applies to its compounds,— oiSct's, ov8(, ovtc, etc., and ^has, p-rjhi, fj-rpt, etc.
1608. Ou is used with the indicative and optative in all independeid sentences, except wishes; also in indirect discourse after on. and wt, and in causal sentences.
1609. N. In indirect qucstionx, introduced by it, whether, p.-q can be used as well as ov; as /3ovXo/«>'os ipivOai d paOwv Tt's rt /ie/xnj^i«Vo? p.r) oTSev, wishing to ash whether one who has learnt a thing and remembers it does not know it?

1610. M»? is used with the subjunctive aud imperative in all constructions, except with the Homeric subjunctive (1355), which has the force of a future indicative. M^ is used in all fiual aud object clauses after Xva, o-n-os, etc., with the subjunctive, optative, and indicative; except after fiy, lest, which takes ov. It is used in all conditional and conditional relative clauses, and in the corresponding temporal sentences after <.« id="iv.i.p8735.1"><;, -nplv, etc., in relative sentences expressing a purpose (1442), and in all expressions of a wish with both indicative and optative (1/507; 1511).
For causal relative, clauses with ^ (also conditional), see 14(j'2. For ei ov occasionally used in protasis, see 11183,2.
1611. Mi} is used with the infinitive in all constructions, both with and without the article, except in indirect discourse. The infinitive in indirect discourse regularly has ov, to retain the negative of the direct discourse; but some exceptions occur (1496).
For wore ov with the infinitive, see 1'Jiil. For /x.ij wiUi (lie infinitive after verbs of hoping, promising, sweuriuy, etc., see 14!iti.
1612. When a participle expresses a condition (15G3, 5), it takes /j.i'/; so when it is equivalent to a conditional relative clause; as ol fir] ftovkoncvoi, any who du not wish. Otherwise it takes oi. In indirect discourse it sometimes, like the infinitive, takes ^ irregularly (1496).
1613. Adjectives follow the same principle with participles, taking ny only when they do not refer to definite persons or things (i.e. when they can be expressed by a relative clause with an indefinite antecedent); as ol /x>) AyuOol ttoATtcu, (any) citizens who are not good, but oi oik dyaOol voi-tm means special citizens viho are not guod.
1614. Participles or rtdjectiveb connected with a protasis, a command, or au infinitive which would be negatived by /*>/', generally take ft,-,), even if they would otherwise have ov.
1615. When verbs which contain a negative idea (as those of hindering, forbidding, denying, concealing, and distrusting) take the infinitive, ^ can be added to the infinitive to strengthen the negation. Such a negative cannot be translated in English, and can always be omitted in Greek. For examples, sec 1549-1551.

VERSIFICATION.
RHYTHM AND METRE.
1620. Every verso is composed of definite portions called feet. Thus we have four feet in each of these verses: —
Far from | mdrtal | cares recreating. |
1621. In each foot there is a certain part on which falls a special stress of voice called ictus (stroke), and another part on which there is no such stress. The part of the foot on which the ictus falls is called the arsis, and the rest of the foot is called the thesis.1 The regular alternation of arsis and thesis iu successive feet produces the rhythm (harmonious movement) of the verse.
1622.' In this English verse (as in all English poetry) the rhythm depends entirely on the ordinary accent of the words, with which the ictus coincides. In the Greek verse, however, the ictus is entirely independent of the word-accent; and the feet (with the ictus marked by dots) are
1 The term «p

1024] RHYTHM AND VKUSE. 349
length; and the place of the ictus here depends on the quantity (i.e. the length or shortness) of the syllables which compose the foot, the ictus naturally falling upon a long syllable (1629). The regular alternation of long and short syllables in successive feet makes the verse metrical, i.e. measured in its time. The rhythm of a Greek verse thus depends closely on its metre, i.e. on the measure or quantity of its syllables.
1623. The fundamental distinction between ancient and most modern poetry is simply tins, tliat in modern poetry the verse consists of a regular combination of accented and unaccented syllables, while in ancient poetry it consists of a regular combination of long and short syllables. Tli< id="iv.i.p8764.1"> rhythm is the one essential requisite in the external form of all poetry, ancii-nt and modern; but in ancient poetry, rhythm depends on inetie and not on accent; in modern poetry it depends on accent, and the quantity of the syllables (i.e. the metre) is generally no moro regarded than it is in prose. Both are equally rhythmical; but tin; ancient is also metrical, and its metre is the basis of its rhythm. What is called metre in English poetry is strictly only rhythm.
1624. The change from metrical to accentual rhythm can best be seen in modern Greek poetry, in which, even when the forms of the ancient language are retained, the rhythm is generally accentual and the metre is no more regarded than it is in English poetry. These are the first two verses in a modern translation of the Odyssey: —
^AXXe tov | dvSpa, 0«|a, tov Tro|XvTpoirov, | oo-tis to|o"Ovtov* Tdirovs 8iJfjX0c, iropjflijcras Tifi ) TpoCas rrjv j tvSoJov | wdAiv. The original verses are: —

If the former verses set our teeth on edge, it is only through force of acquired habit; for these verses have much more of the nature of modern poetry than the Homeric originals, and their rhythm is precisely what we are accustomed to in English verse, where Still stands the | forest pri|ineval; but | under the | shade of its | branches is dactylic, and And the oljive of peace | spreads its branches abroad is anapaestic. 350
350 VERSIFICATION. [1625 1625. It is very difficult for us to appreciate the ease with which the Greeks distinguished and reconciled the stress of voice which constituted the ictus and the raising of tone which constituted the word-accent (107, 1). Any combination of the two is now very difficult, and for most persons impossible, because we have only stress of voice to represent both accent and ictus. In reading Greek poetry we usually mark the ictus by our accent, and either neglect the word-accent or make it subordinate to the ictus. Care should always be taken in reading to distinguish the words, not the feet. FEET. 1626. 1. The unit of measure in Greek verse is the short syllable (w), which lias the value of J*or an ^ note in music. This is called a time or mora. The long syllable (_) has generally twice the length of a short one, and has the value of a ^ note or J in music. 2. But a long syllable sometimes has the length of three shorts, and is called a triseme (i_), and sometimes that of four shorts, and is called a tetrascmc (l_i). The triseme has the value of J. in music, and tlie tetraseme that of J. 1627. Feet are distinguished according to the number of times which they contain. The most common feet are the following: — 1. Of Three Times (in J time). Trochee _ w J / Iambus w _ f { Tribrach www XiyiTi 0 0 0 2. Of Four Times (in f or f time). Dactyl __ W w j n Anapaest w w __ (TtfjOfJUXl .n j Spondee _____ livwv j j 3.

For the dochmius, w____w _, see 1091. For the epitrile, see
1684.
1628. The feet, in I time (1), in ■which the arsis is twice as long as the thesis, form the double class (ytVos tiLHTka.iri.ov), as opposed to those in J time (2), in which the arsis and thesis are of equal length, and which form the equal class (yfVos Lvov). The more complicated relations of arsis and thesis in the feet of five and six limes are not considered here.
1629. The ictus falls naturally on a long syllable. The first syllable of the trochee and the dactyl, and the last syllable of the iambus and the anapaest, therefore, form the arsis, the remainder of the foot being the thesis; as
j _£,
1630. When a long syllable in the arsis is resolved into two short syllables (1031), the ictus properly belongs on the two taken together, but in reading it is usually placed on the first. Thus a tribrach used for a trochee (jL w) is www', one used for an iambus (w —) is u ^ w Likewise a spondee used for a dactyl is
/ _; one used for an anapaest is___C So a dactyl used for an
anapaest (_ w v^ for____for w w _) is _ ^ w. The only use
of the tribrach and the chief use of the spondee are (as above) to represent other feet which have their arsis naturally marked by a long syllable.
RESOLUTION AND CONTRACTION. — IRRATIONAL TIME. —ANACRUSIS. —SYLLABA ANCEPS.
1631. A long syllable, being naturally the metrical equivalent of two short ones (162G), is often resolved into these; as when a tribrach www stands for a trochee — w or an
iambus w__On the other hand, two short syllables are
often contracted iuto one long syllable; as when a spondee

362 VERSIFICATION. [1032
-----stands for a dactyl _ w ^ or an anapaest ^ w — The
mark for a long resolved into two shorts is ^; that for two shorts contracted into one long is cc.
1632. 1. When a long syllable has the measure of three or four short syllables (1626, 2), it may represent a whole foot: this is called syncope. Thus a triseme (i_ = J4) may represent a trochee (_ w), and a tetraseme (i_i = J) may represent a dactyl (_ w w).
2. An apparent trochee (i_ w), consisting of a triseme (i_) and a short syllable, may be the equivalent of a dactyl or a spondee, that is, a foot of four times. Tins is called a long trochee, or z,<-Doric trochee (see 1684).
1633. On the other hand, a long syllable may in certain cases be shortened so as to take the place of a short syllable. Such a syllable is called irrational, and is marked >. The foot in which it occurs is also called irrational (irovs SXoyoi). Thus, in dXX' &.v ix.6pu>v ( — j— >), the apparent spondee which takes the place of the second trochee is called an irrational trochee; in SoiW Sikyjv (>-^w—) that which takes the place of the first iambus is called an irrational iambus.
1634. A similar shortening occurs in the so-called cyclic dactyl (marked ~^v) and cyclic anapaest (marked <~ id="iv.i.p8843.1"> w—), which hav.e the time of only three short syllables instead of four. The cyclic dactyl takes the place of a trochee _ w, especially in logaoedic verses (1679). The cyclic anapaest takes the place of an iambus w _, and is found especially in the iambic trimeter of comedy (1658).
1635. An anacrusis (dvoKpovo-is, upward beat) consists of a single syllable (which may be long, short, or irrational) or of two short syllables, prefixed to a verse which begins with an arsis.
1636. The last syllable of every verse is common, and it may be made long or short to suit the metre, without regard to its usual quantity. It is called syllaba anceps. But the continuous systems described in 1654, 1666, and 1677 allow this only at the end of the system.
353 |
J642J RHYTHMICAL SERIES, ETC. 353
RHYTHMICAL SERIES. — VERSE. — CATALEXIS. — PAUSE.
1637. A rhythmical series is a continuous succession of feet of the same measure. A verse may consist of one such series, or of several such united.
Thus the verse
nokXa to. Suva, xov&iv av\6pa>Trov ZuvoTlpov viXil
consists of a First Glyconic (1682, 4), —w w I _ w I _ w I l_ (at the
end of a verso, ^/W|_ul__w|__^), followed by a Second
Glyconic, _^|-vwI_wI_a- Each part forms a series, the former ending with the first syllable of a.v6pirov (see above); and either series miglit have formed a distinct verse.
1638. The verse must close in such a way as to be distinctly marked off from what follows.
1. It must end with the end of a word.
2. It allows the last syllable (syllaba anceps) to be either long or short (1636).
3. It allows hiatus (34) before a vowel in the next verse.
1639. A verse which has an unfinished foot at the close is called calalectic (ko.toXtjktiko';, stopped short). A complete verse is called acatalectic.
1640. 1. If the omitted syllable or syllables in a catalectic verse are the thesis of the foot (as in trochaic and dactylic verses), their place is filled by a pause. A pause of one time, equivalent to a short syllable (w), is marked a (for A, the initial of Xti/ifta); a pause of two rimes (_) is marked a •
2. But in catalectic iambic and anapaestic verses, the thesis of the last foot is lost, and the place is filled by prolonging the preceding arsis: thus we have w d. — (not v^ — ^ a) ^ tne catalectic
form of v^__v^__; and ^ ^-^ -L (not v_, ^ _^. v_. >_/ 7) as that of
w^_ww_. (See 1664 and 1065.)
1641. A verse measured by dipodies (1046) is called brachy-catalectic if it wants a complete foot at the end, and hypercatalectic if it has a single syllable beyond its last complete dipody.
CAESURA AND DIAERESIS.
1642. 1. Caesura (i.e. cutting) of the foot occurs whenever
354 |
354 VERSIFICATION. [1043
a word er.ds before a foot is finished; as in three cases in the following verse: —
jroAAu? | 8' l(f>6(iwvs i/'i'lx"* *Ai'lSi irpoia{ptv.
2. This becomes important only when it coincides with the caesura of the verse (as after i4>0Cpov<;). This caesura is a pause within a foot introduced to make the verse more melodious or to aid in its recital. Iu some verses, as in the iambic trimeter aeataleetic (16.58) and the heroic hexameter (Ki69), it follows definite principles.
1643. When the end of a word coincides with the. end of a foot, the double division is called diaeresis (&cup«Wi division); as after the first foot in the line just quoted. Diaeresis becomes important only when it coincides with a natural pause produced by the ending of a rhythmic series; as iu the trochaic tetrameter (1651) and the dactylic pentameter (1670).
1644. The following vevse of Aristophanes (Nub. 519), in trochaic (|) rhythm, shows the irrational long (1633) in the first, second, and sixth feet; the cyclic dactyl (1034) in the third; syncope (1032) in the fourth; and at the end catalexis and pause (1639; 1010), with syllaba anceps (1030).

A rhythmical series (1C37) ends with the penult of Aiovvcrov. This is a logaoedic verse, called Eupolidean (1082, 7).
VERSES.
1645. Verses are called Trochaic, Iambic, Dactylic, etc., from their fundamental foot.
1646. In most kinds of verse, a mouovieter consists of one foot, a dimeter of two feet, a trimeter, tetrameter, pentameter, or hexameter of three, four, five, or six feet. But in trochaic, iambic, and anapaestic verses, which are measured by dipodies (i.e. pairs of feet), a monomcter consists of one dipody (or two feet), a dimeter of four feet, a trimeter of 6ix feet, and a tetrameter of eight feet.
355 |
1661] TROCHAIC RHYTHMS. 355
1647. When trochaic or iambic verses are measured by single feet, they are called Iripodics, tetvapodies, hexapodies, etc. (as having three, four, six, etc. feet). Here irrational syllables (1033) seldom occur. (See 1G56.)
1648. Rhythms are divided into rising and falling rhythms. In rising rhythms the arsis follows the thesis, as in the iambus and anapaest; in falling rhythms the thesis follows the arsis, as in the trochee and the dactyl.
1649. In Greek poetry, the same kind of verse may be used by the line (kotci
TROCHAIC RHYTHMS.
1650. Trochaic verses are generally measured by dipodies (1646). The irrational trochee jL > (1633) in the form of a spondee can stand in the second place of each trochaic dipody except the last, that is, in the even feet (second, fourth, etc.), so that the dipody has the form ^w-lo. An apparent anapaest (6 w> lor — >) is sometimes used as the equivalent of the irrational trochee. The cyclic dactyl A^w (1634) sometimes stands for the trochee in proper names in both parts of the dipody, except at the end of the verse.
The tribrach (6uu) may stand for the trochee (1631) in every foot except the last.
1651. The chief trochaic verse which is used by the line (1649) is the tethametkk catalectic, consisting of seven feet and a syllable, divided into two rhythmical series (1637) by a diaeresis (1643) after the second dipody. E.g.

1656. In lyric trocliaic and iambic verses, the irrational syllable is found chiefly in comedy, and is avoided in tragedy.
IAMBIC KHYTHMS.
1857. Iambic verses are generally measured by dipodies (1C46). The irrational iambus > + (1633) in the form of a spondee can stand in the. first place of each iambic dipody, that is, in the odd places (first, third, etc.), so that the dipody has the form o — ^ S.. An apparent dactyl (> 6 ^ for >—) is sometimes used as the equivalent ol the irrational iambus; and the cyclic anapaest j ^~ (1G34) is used for the iambus in both parts of the dipody, except in the last foot, especially by the Attic comedians (1658). The tribrach (^ w w) may stand for the iambus in every foot except the last.
1658. The most common of all iambic verses is the teimetek acatalectic, in which most of the dialogue of

the Attic drama is composed. It never allows any substitution in the last foot. With this exception it may have the tribrach in any place. The irrational iambus >—in the form of a spondee can stand in the first place of every dipody. The tragedians allow the (apparent) dactyl > C ^ only in the first and third places, and the cyclic anapaest only in the first place; but in proper names they allow the anapaest in every place except the last. The comedians allow the dactyl >wv in all the odd places, and the cyclic anapaest in every place except the last (1657). The most common caesura is that after the thesis of the third foot.
1659. The following scheme shows the tragic and the comic iambic trimeter compared, — the forms peculiar to comedy being enclosed in [ ].

1660. When the tragic trimeter ends in a word forming a cretic

monosyllable.1 In general the tragedians avoid the feet of three syllables, even where they are allowed.

DACTYLIC RHYTHMS.
1668. The only regular substitute for the dactyl is the spondee, which arises by contraction of the two short syllables of the dactyl (S. _ from jL j ^).
1669. The most cominon of all Greek verses is the heroic hexameter, the Homeric verse. It always has a spondee in the last place, often in the first four places, seldom in the fifth (the verse being then called spondaic). There is commonly a caesura in the third foot, either after the arsis or (rather more frequently) dividing the thesis. There is sometimes a caesura after the arsis of the fourth foot, and rarely one in the thesis. The caesura after the arsis is called masculine, that in the thesis feminine or trochaic. A diaeresis after the fourth foot, common in bucolic poetry, is called bucolic. E.g.

Tine verse probably arose from a repetition of the first pentliemim (7W#->7/zi-^epfive half-feet) of the hexameter. Hut syllaha anceps and hiatus are not allowed after the first trimeter, but only at the end of the verse (1638). The last two complete feet are always dactyls. A diaeresis (1643) divides the two parts of the verse. The pentameter is never used by itself.

1673. When a short vowel stands in Homer where a long one is required by the verse, it may be explained in various ways.
1. By supposing A, fi, v, p, or
of certain words; as n-oAAa Awo-o/xtVu) (______vj v _), 1L22,91
(we have c'AAiWero in II. 6,45).
2. By the original presence of f making position (see 3; 90; 91);
as rotov fot irvp (________), 11.5,7. So before Sti'Su), fear, and
other derivatives of the stem 8f€i-, and before Brjv (for Bfrjv).
3. By a pause in the verse (1042,2) prolonging the time; as in
1674. The following are some of the chief lyric dactylic verses: -f-

ANAPAESTIC KHYTHMS.
1675. Anapaestic verses are generally measured by dipo-dies (1646). The spondee and the dactyl (—— and —6^) may stand for the anapaest.
The long syllable of an anapaest is rarely resolved into two short, making ^ w 6 w for kj w —.

1677. An anapaestic system consists of a series of anapaestic dimeters acatalectic, with occasionally a niono-metcr, ending always with the paroemiac (or dimeter catalectic). These arc very frequently employed in both tragedy and comedy. E.g.

1678. Anapaestic systems are especially common in march
movements in tragedy, where they were probably chanted by the leader of the chorus, as in the S
LOGAOEDIC BHYTHMS.
1679. Logaoedic rhythm is a rhythm in $ time, having the trochee as its foundation, but admitting great freedom of construction. Besides the trochee _ w, it admits the irrational trochee _ >, the tribrach www, the cyclic dactyl -w w, and the triseme (1632, 1) or syncopated trochee i_ These are all equivalent feet, of three times (= w w w).
1680. The first foot of a logaoedic verse allows special freedom.
It may be a trochee or an irrational trochee__>, and sometimes
a tribrach www An apparent iambus (probably with ictus O__) sometimes occurs (1GS2, 7). Great license is here permitted in using different forms in strophe and antistrophe, even in verses which otherwise correspond precisely: see 1682, 7.
When a logaoedic verse has move than one rhythmical series (1037), the first foot of eacli series lias this freedom of form (see 1682, 7).
1681. An anacrusis (1035) may introduce any logaoedic verse.
1682. The following are some of the most important logaoedic verses which have special names: —

DACTYLO-EPITRITIC RHYTHMS.
1684. 1. About half of the odes of Pindar are composed in a measure called dactylo-epilritic, which consists of dactyls, with their equivalent spondees and syncopated forms (i_j), and epitritos. The epitrite (i_ w-----) is composed of a long (or Doric) trochee (i_ w, see 1632, 2) and a spondee. The dactylic parts of the verse generally have the form —vv—^^ — — or (catalectic) -uu- ww^A. The epitrite also may be catalectic, i— w_ A. The verse may have an anacrusis.
2. It will be noticed that in this verse the long trochee (i_ w) has the same length as the dactyl and the dactyl has its full time, while in logaoedic verse the trochee has its ordinary time and the dactyl is cyclic (equivalent in time to the trochee).
1685. The first strophe of Pindar's third Olympic ode is an example of this measure : —

RHYTHMS WITH FEET OF FIVE OR SIX TIMES.
1686. Some of the more important rhythms with feet of five or six times (1027, 3 and 4) are the following: —
1687. 1. Choriambic rhythms, with the choriambus _ w ^ _ as the fundamental foot: —
ircuSu fiiv av^Hs voaiv av a
Sava fiiv ovv, Suva, rapaaau ao
2. Choriambic verses of this class are rare. Most verses formerly called choriambic are here explained as logaoedic (1082).
1688. 1. Ionic rhythms, with the ionic a minore w w-----
as the fundamental foot, admitting also the equivalent yj ^ u_i (162(5, 2): —
o-rpuTos £is ivWiiropov yetJTOva cr^eSt'a vop fwy a
2. A double, trochee__w__w often takes the place of the two
long syllables and the two following shorts. This is called anaclasis (draxAacris, breaking up), as it breaks up the feet. E.g.

DOCHMIACS.
1691. Dochmiac verses, which are used chiefly in tragedy to express great excitement, are based upon a foot called the dochmius, compounded of an iambus and a cretic (or a
bacchius and an iambus) w_ I _ w_ (or w___I w_). This
peculiar foot appears in nineteen different forms, by resolving the long syllables and admitting irrational longs in place'of the two shorts. Its most common forms are o_I_w_and w w j I_w__As examples may be given

1692. CATALOGUE OF VERBS.
Note. — This catalogue professes to contain all verbs in ordinary use in classic Greek which have any such peculiarities as to present difficulties to a student. No verb is introduced which does not occur in some form before Aristotle; and no forms are given which are not found in writers earlier than the Alexandrian period, except sometimes the present indicative of a verb which is classic in other tenses, and occasionally a form which is given for completeness and marked as later. Tenses which are not used by Attic writers, in either prose or poetry, or which occur only in lyrical parts of the drama, are enclosed in [ ], except occasionally the present indicative of a verb which is Attic in other tenses.
The verb stem, with any other important forms of the stem, is given in ( ) directly after the present indicative, unless the verb belongs to the first class (500). The class of each verb in a is given by an Arabic numeral in ( ) at the end, unless it is of the first class. Verbs in iu of the Seventh Class (019), enumerated in 794, are marked with (I.) ; those of the Fifth Class in vim (008), enumerated in 797, 1, with (II.) ; and the poetic verbs in cijM' or ra/xai (009), enumerated in 797, 2, which add m to the stem in the present, with (III). A few epic peculiarities are sometimes disregarded in the classification.
The modification of the stem made by adding i in certain tenses (053) is marked by prefixing (t-) to the first form in which this occurs, unless this is the present. Presents in -(Spar) indicates that it is found only in composition. This is omitted, however, if the simple form occurs even in later Greek ; and it is often omitted when the occurrence of cognate forms, or any other reason, makes it probable that the simple form was in use. It would be extremely difficult to point out an example of every tense of even the best English verbs in a writer of established authority within a fixed period.
The imperfect or pluperfect is generally omitted when the present or perfect is given. Second perfects which are given among the principal parts of a verb (402, 1) are not specially designated (see jSXdirrui).
