So, admittedly this conjugation table is a bit sketchy to begin with. I have found an example of every form that is not bold in a Greek text or cited as such in a reputable source. I'd prefer to have a messy looking table than mislead people. The bold forms I inferred based on paradigms, and I'm reasonably confident that they're close, although the accentuation might be off, and there might be contractions I'm not aware of. Additionally, the possibility of irregular forms should not be discounted. If anyone can substantiate any of the bold forms, then please unbold them, or correct and unbold them. Thanks.

¨"For most later writers, the fourth sense is the primary one, and εἶπον is used for all tenses except present and imperfect, a situation similar to English go and be."

Shouldn't the future also be included? --78.60.103.193 19:47, 29 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Two verb sections

[edit]

Posting a question by Ser be etre shi on Discord: why does this (very essential) entry have two "verb" subentries? do they have different etymologies? I notice they share the "say, speak" sense too

And my response, edited: The verb section was split in this edit. The "say" sense was only in the third verb section at that time, not the second. I guess the split of the last two verb sections was intended to clarify which senses have which inflected forms (perfect active εἴλοχᾰ versus λέλεχᾰ for instance). They have the same etymology, so they can be merged if someone figures out how to clearly link inflected forms to senses. — Eru·tuon 23:47, 8 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
