Talk:λύω
I added a conjugation table with all the forms. The source I was using was missing a few forms and I don't know for sure if they don't exist or are simply rare. I must admit that I haven't done any proofreading of it; doing it once was tedious enough. So feel free to add or correct anything in it. I suppose that evenutally all of these forms should be made redirects to this page, but I just don't have the energy for such an task right now. I imagine that, in time, every Greek verb should have such a table and redirect setup. My, we have quite an undertaking ahead of us. Cerealkiller13 01:08, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Conjugation notes (cf. Appendix, Smyth.382) Notes, usually placed at infelction-pages. But especially for λύω, 1st verb for students, perhaps these should be included in the tables as notes or Usage notes, to be seen immediately?
