Notes Appendix:Greek verbs |
1. Passive forms with -θην- are very formal, as in the ancient aorist ἐτέθην from the conjugation of τίθημι. In Modern Greek, found in the 3rd persons (all persons included here, for reference). • Learned forms, especially if missing, used from the ancient conjugation of τίθημι. • (…) optional or informal. […] rare. {…} learned, archaic. • Multiple forms are shown in order of reducing frequency. • Periphrastic imperative forms may be produced using the subjunctive. | |||
