The aorist and future passives will be formed from a different stem and learned later. Note that this aorist paradigm is deponent. Middles are “I brought (for myself).”
Augments
Aorist Augments = Imperfect Augments
The augment is added in four ways:
1. Before consonants it is e.
2. Before vowels the augment contracts with the vowel according to the following rules:
-
Vowels
|
Diphthongs
|
e + a = h
|
e + ai = ^
|
e + e = h
|
e + ei = ^
|
e + h = h
|
e + oi = &
|
e + i = i
|
e + au = hu
|
e + o = w
|
e + eu = hu
|
e + u = u
|
|
Four patterns:
(1) a and e lengthen to h.
(2) o lengthens to w.
(3) i ending becomes a diphthong subscript.
(4) u ending of a diphthong stays strong.
3. Compound verbs with prepositions ending in a consonant: insert the augment between the prepositional prefix and the verb stem. e]kba4. Compound verbs with prepositions ending in a vowel: The final vowel of the preposition is dropped and the e augment is inserted in its place. a]poktei
Aorist augments work the same way as these imperfects you have already learned. When you see an augment, think secondary tense (aorist or imperfect).
Here is a list of second aorist forms of verbs already learned. Master these forms.
