Class 1 A - ύω Verbs

These verbs take sigma in the Future and Aorist.

Note that this is not a full list of every – ύω verb

I keep adding to it however I think I have many if not most of them and you now have alternatives to λύω to use!

Additions are invited! I hope to do another version later this year !

Yes I have heard of that Italian book but I hope this list will be useful for students teachers and scholars who do not have a copy.

ἀκούω ἀλύω βύω δακρύω δεύω ἐρύω θύω

ἰθύω ἰσχύω κλύω κρούω κύω λούω λύω

μηνύω μύω ξύω παύω τανύω τιτύω φύω ψαύω ὕω 

Next list is -  εύω verbs 

GREEK VERBS and the MST KEY

January is Back to Basics Month on  #metousia so something to help you learn #classicalgreek verb endings thats' also useful for NT and Koine Greek

GREEK VERB KEY

Greek verbs originally had endings

 very similar to this pattern 

μαι σαι ται

Μ Σ Τ

Mu Sigma Tau 

M S T 

Its No MYSTERY!

For most verbs

Μαι becomes ω or plural μεν or μεθα

S becomes ες or Vowel plus ς or ς to τ

so we have ετε or εται in plurals

T becomes ε or ον or plural ονται or ουσι(ν)

If you think of middle and "irregular" forms as simply variants of an older pattern the variety of endings becomes less confusing.
