Pure verbs with the characteristic a, e, or o, suffer contraction in the Present and Imperfect tenses. They are divided into three classes, according as the characteristic is a, e, or o. 253. The tenses are formed in the manner already described (223 and 224), but the short characteristic vowel of the Present and Imperfect is generally lengthened in the other tenses-a and e into n and o into w thus the Futures Act. of tiμăw, piλéw, and μισθόω, are τιμήσω, φιλήσω, and μισθώσω. η REM.-Verbs in io and vw do not suffer contraction, but they lengthen the characteristic in all the tenses except the Present and Imperfect, e. g. : μηνίω, μηνίσω, to be angry ; κωλύω, κωλύσω, to hinder (225). 254. CONTRACTIONS IN VERBS IN άw. 1) The characteristic a uniting with any o-sound produces w, or, if an occurs in the first syllable of the ending, w, e.g.: tiμáw= τιμῶ; τιμαοίην=τιμῴην. 2) In other cases the result of contraction is a, or, if an occurs, a, e. g.: Típаe=Tíμa; τιμάεις=τιμᾷς. |
