After this post I'll switch back to art for a few posts before more verbs

Class 1 C – ίω

These verbs follow the same pattern as υω with future and aorist adding sigma.

ἰδίω whose prose equivalent is ἱδρόω has Future ἰσω Aorist ἴδῑσα

κίω *κυλίω (root of κυλίνδω) μαλκίω μηνίω πρῑω χρίω

Epic δίω κηκίω

αίω 

Mixed 

καίω καυσω ἔκαυσα, likewise κλαίω and δαίω or ίσω ίσα

ναίω παίω πταίω, but κναίω changes αι to η and ῥαίω changes to ῥαίσω and ἔῥραίσα

είω

κλείω σείω and Epic κείω τελείω follow the αίω pattern

D – 6 verbs ending in εω whose forms show that they were originally - υω final verbs ?

θέω νέω πλέω πνέω ῥέω χέω

All except χέω have future middles – ευσομαι and ἔCευσα Aorist.

C = Consonant 

Antiphanes on the Muses and Skill

Antiphanes on the Muses and Reason and Criticism

Antiphanes is one of several dramatists we know only by name and quotes in other works.

This quote comes from Athenaeus 1.3.b

ἀεὶ δὲ πρὸς Μουσαισι καὶ λόγοις πάρει,

ὅπου τι σοφίας ἔργον ἐξετάζεται.

Always the Muses and Reason(ings) are together / present

whenever any skilled work is tested

The Epiphany of *PHA

The Epiphany of Pha.

Have you ever considered just how productive the * pha stem has been in creating words in Greek, Latin, English, French, Spanish, and many other language, Indo-European and beyond?

Epiphany means Appearance and is a reference to the "showing" of Christ to the Gentiles. Its pronounced  epiphania in ancient Greek but modern Greek and English changes the ph to an F .

Phania comes from the verb phainoo which in term comes from *pha *phoo the stem or radical of PHWS Shining visible light.  Energy appearing.

This gives us Phaethoon the son of Apollo and is the source of Fantasy and Fantasia, Phantasm  and Fantastic.
