This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.
It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.
Marks, notations and other maiginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the
publisher to a library and finally to you.

^^^^'-^ PREFACE
Thb pTOBent book, apart from ite greater extent and certain differ-
ences of statement and arrangement, has, in general, the same plan
as the author's Ortek Orammar ftyr Schools and Colleges. It is a
descriptive, not an historical, nor a oomparatiTe, grammar. Though
it has adopted many of the asaored results of Comparative Liiiguis-
tics, especially in the field of Analogy, it has excluded much of the
more complicated matter that belongs to a purely scientilic treat-
ment of the problems of Morpholep. It has been my purpose to set
forth the essential forms of Attic speech, and of the other dialects,
as &ur as they appear in literature ; to devote greater attention to
the Formation of Words and to the Particles than is usually given to
these subjects except in much more extensive works ; and to supple-
ment the statement of the principles of Syntax with information
that will prove of service to the student as his knowledge widens
and deepens.
As to the extent of all amplification of the bare facts of Mor-
phology and Syntax, probably no two makers of a book of this char-
acter, necessarily restricted by considerations of space, will be of the
same mind. I can only hope that I have attained such a measure of
success as will commend itself to the judgment of those who are
engi^ed in teaching Greek in our colleges and univeraities. I trust,
however, that the extent of the enlarged work may lead no one to
the opinion that I advocate the study of formal grammar as an end
in itself ; though I would have every student come to know, and the
sooner the better, that without an exact knowledge of the language
there can be no thorough appreciation of the literature of Ancient
Greece, or of any other land ancient or modem.
In addition to the authorities mentioned on page 5, 1 have con-
sulted with profit DelbrUck's SyrUaktisiAe Firsckungen, Gilder-
sleeve's numeroas and illuminating papers in the American Journal
of Philology and in the Transactions of the American Philological
Association, Schanz's Beitra^ zitr kiatoriacJien Syntax der griechiachen
Sprache, Biddell's Digest of Platonic Idioms, La Eoche's Oramtaa-
tMGft« Stitdien in the Zeitschrift ftlr oeaterreichische Gymnasien
for 1904, Forman's Sdectiont from I^to, Schulze's Quaestioties
vi PREFACE
Epicae, Hale'e Extended and Remote Deliberatives tn Greek in the
TransactioiiB of the American Philologies Association for 1893,
Harry's two articles, The Omission of lAe Artide with Subitantives
t^ter oStik, ofie, Jkcivos m Prose in the Transactions for 1898, and The
Perfm Subjunctive, Optative, and Imperative in Oreek in the Classi-
cal Beview for 1905, Headlam'a Qreek Prohibitioas in the Classical
Beview for 1906, Marchant's papers on I%e Agent in the Attic Orators
in the same journal for 1889, Miss Meissoer's dissertation on yap
(UniTersity of Chicago), Stahl's Kritisch'iii^orisdie Syntax des
griechischen Verbuma, and Wright's Comparative Orammar of the
Oreek Language. 1 have eiamined many school grammars of Greek
in English, German, and French, among which I would particularize
those of Hadley-Allen, Goodwin, Babbitt, Goodell, Sonnenschein,
Kaegi, Koch, Croiset et Fetitjean. I am much indebted also to
Thompson's Oreek Syntax.
I would finally express my thanks for helpful criticiam from Pro-
fessor Allen B. Bennei of AndoTer Academy, Professor Haven D.
Brackett of Clark College, Professor Hermann Collitz of the Johns
Hopkins UnxTersity, Professor Archibald L. Hodges of the Wadleigh
High School, New York, Dr. Maurice W. Mather, formerly Instructor
in Harvard University, Professor Hanns Oertel of Yale University,
and Professor Frank E. Woodruff of Bowdoin College. Dr. J. W.
H. Walden, formerly Instructor in Harvard, haa lent me invaluable
aid by placing at my service his knowledge and skill in the prepa-
ration of the Indices.

INTRODUCTION
THE GREEK LANQUAQE AND ITS DIALECTS
A. Greek, the language of the inhabitants of Greece, has beep
coDstantlf spoken from the time of Homer to the present day. Th»
inhabitants of ancient Greece and other Greeks dwelling in the
islands ajid on the coasts of the Mediterranean called themselTes (as
do the modern Greeks) by the name HeUenei CGAAnrat), their country
Heilaa CEAAos), and their language the Hellmic (^ ^^XAijvuc^ yAwm).
We call them Greeks from the Latin Graed, the name given tnem by
the Bomans, who applied to the entire people a name pi-operly re-
stricted to the Tpiuat, the first Hellenes of whom the Bomans had
knowledge.
N, I. — Oraeei (older GraUt) contaioa a lAtin mSx -tciu; and the natM

sians(Zend), Armenians, Albanians, Slavonians, Lithuanians, Bomans,
Celts, and Germans. These various languages are all of the same
stock, and together constitute the Indo-European family of langu^es.
An important relation of Greek to English, which is a branch of the
Germanic tongue, is illustrated by Grimm's law of the ' permutatioD
of consonanta ' :
T=/ I T = tt I « = * I p=p I a = t lT=<!(*)| * = 6 I e=d\ x = 9
fathtr I three \ Ktart I thorp \ two 1 acre I hear \ door \ gooM
The above English words are said to be cognate with the Greek
words. Derived words, such as geography, theatre, are borrowed,
directly or indirectly, from the Greek (ytuypa^a, Starpor).

8 INTKODUCTIOK
C. At the earliest known period of its history the Greek language
vraa divided into dialects. Goiregponding to tbe chief divisions of
the Greeks into Aeolians, Dorians, and lonians (a division unknown
to Homer), three groups of dialects are commonly distinguished :
Aeollc, Doric, and Ionic, of which Attic is a sister dialect. Aeolic and
Doric are more nearly related to each other than is either to Ionic.
Aeolic: spoken in Aeolis, Lesbos, and kindred with the dialect
of Tbessaly (except Phthiotis) and of Boeotia (though Boeotian has
many Doric ingredients). In this book 'Aeolio' means Lesbian
Aeolic.
N. 1. — Aeolic letaios primitive 5 (30) ; changes r before i to r (116) ; has
receaaive aoceut (162 D.). and many oUier pecnliaritiea
Doric : spoken in Peloponnesus (except Arcadia and Elis), in seTeral
of the islands of the Aegean (Crete, Melos, Thera, Bhodes, etc.), in
parts of Sicily and in Southern Italy.
N. 8. — Doric retains prituIUve it (30), keeps r before < (115 D.). Almost all
Doric dialects bave -^t for -^ef (4fl2 D.), the InfiolUve In •»!*' for-roi (469 D.),
the future in -{u from verbs in -{u (GIO D.), the fumre in -<rS, -aeOiiai (540 a).
N. 3. — Tbe sub-dialects of Laconia, Cret«, and Southern Italy, and of their
Mvetal colonies, are often called Severer (or Old) Doric ; the others are called
Milder (or New) Doric. Severer Dorio has q and u where HUder Dodo has n
and cv (69 D. 4, S ; 230 D). There are alao ditterencea in verbal forma (664).
Itmic : spoken in Ionia, in most of the islands of the Aegean, in a
few towns of Sicily, etc.
N. 4. — lonio changes primitive i to ij (30) ; changes r before i to r (116) j
has lost digamma, which is still found in Aeolic and Doric ; often refnses to con-
tract vowels ; keeps a mute smooth before tbe rough breathing (124 D.) ; baa «
for T in pronominal fonna (132 D.).
N. G. — The following dialects do not tali nnderlbe above divisions : Aicadlaa
(and the kindred Cyprian, which are often classed with Aeolic), Blean, and the
dialects of if.W. Greece (Locris, Fbocis, Aetoila, Aoarnania, Eplras, etc).
N.W. Qreek resembles Doric.
N. 6. — The dialects that retain a (M) are called A dialects (Aeolto, Dorio,
etc.); Ionic and Attio are the only B dialects. The Eastern dialects (Aeolic,
Ionic) change n to at (115).
N. 7. — Tbe local dlaiects, witb the exception of Tiaoonlan (a Laoonian
Idiom), died out gradually and ceased to eilst by 800 A.n.
D. The chief dialects that occur in literature are as follows (almost
all poetry is composed in a mixture of dialects) :
Aeolic : In the Lesbian lyric poets Alcaeua and Sappho (900 B.C.). NnIne^
ons AeollamH appear bi epic poetiy, and some In tragedy. Theocritna' idylls
28-30 are in Aeolic.
Doric: in many lyric poets, notably In Pindar (bom 622 a.c.) ; In the Iracollo
(pastoral) poetjy of Tbeocrittu (about SlO^bont 245 a.c). Botli of tlieae poets
INTBODUCTION 3
■dopt aome epic and Aeolio lonna. The choral parts of Attlo tragedy also admit
nine Doric lorma. There \a no Doric, as there is no Aeollc, literary proM.
loalc: (1) Old Ionic or Bpie, the chief ingradiaut ol the dialect of Homer
aod of Heslod (before 700 B.C.), Almoat all subeeqneDt poetry admita epio
m»da and fonns. (2) Nete lonte (GOO-400), the dialect of Berodotus (484-425)
tad of the medical writer Hippocrates (born 460). In the period between Old
ind New Ionic : Archilochus, the lyric poet (about 700-060 B.C. ).
Attic : (kindred to Tonic) was used by the great wriLera of Athene in the fltlb
■ad fourth centorias a.c, the period of her political and literary supremac]'. In
it are composed the works of the tragic poeta Aeschylus (&26-460), Sophocles
(49S-40a), Eoripldn (about 480-400), the comic poet Aristopbaneo (about 4&0-
38S), the historians Thucydides (died before 396) and Xenophon (about 434-
aboat856), Uie oraUirs Lyslas (born about 460), Isocratea (430-338), AescbioM
(3ra-S14), Demostbenes (383-322), and the philosopher PUto (437-34T).
E. The Attic dialect was diatingiiislied by its refinement, precision,
and beauty; it occupied an intermediate position between the soft
Ionic and tbe tough Doric, and avoided the prouounced extremes of
other dialects. By reason of its cultivation at the hands of the
greatest writers from 500 b.o. to 300 b.c, it became the standard
literary dialect; though Old Ionic was still occasionally employed
in lat«r epic, and Doric in pastoral poetry.
N. ]. — The dialect of the tragic poets and Thucydides is often called Old AtOe
Id eornnst to New Jttte, that used by most other Attic writen. Plato stands
on the borderline. The dialect of tragedy contains some Homeric, Doric, and
Aeolio forms ; theae are more frequent In the choral than in the dialogue parts.
The choral parts take over forms used in the Aeolic-Dorio lyric ; the dialogue
parts show the influence of the Iambic poetry of the lonians. But the tendency
of Attic speech In literature was to free ilseU from the influence of the dialect
used by the tribe originating any literary type ; and by tbe fourth century pure
Attic was generally used throughout. The normal language of the people
("Standard Attic") la best seen in Aristophanes and the orators. The native
Auic qieech as it appears in iDscriptiona shows no local differences ; the speech
of AtUca was practically uniform. Only the lowest classes, among which were
many foreigners, used forms that do not follow the ordinary phonetic laws. Tbe
language of tbe religious cults is sometimes archaic in character.
N. 2. — Old Attic wrilers use *#■ for tt (78), p^ for pp (79), fiSi. for irit viilh,
htaitlt faio, 0 for n (X^for Xtfn, thou looieU), -^i in the plural of substantives
in -a^ (^ao-iX^T, 277), and oocasionally -artu and -are in the third plural of the
perfect and pluperfect (466 f).
With the Macedonian conquest Athens c«ased to produce great
writers, but Attio culture and the Attic dialect were diffused far and
wide. With this extension of its range, Attic lost its purity ; which
had indeed begun to decline in Aristotle (384^22 b.c).
F. Kolni or Common dialect (^ xotv^ 8u£XcKTof). The Koind took its
rise in the Alexandrian period, bo called from the preeminence of
4 INTRODUCTION
Alexandria in Egypt as a centre of learning until the Roman con-
qneet of the East ; and lasted to the end of ibe ancient world (sixth
century a.d.). It was the language used by persons speaking Greek
from Gaul to Syria, and was marked by numerous varieties. In its
apoken form the Koin& consisted of the spoken form of Attic inter-
naingled with a considerable number of Ionic words ^nd some loans
from other dialects, but with Attic orth(^raphy. The literary form,
a compromise between Attic literary usage and the spoken lai^uage,
was an artificial and almost stationary idiom from which the living
speech drew farther and farther apart.
In the Kolnb are oomposed tLe writings ot the historiuu Polybins (about
906-about 120 b.c), Dlodonu (under Auguatus), Ptuttu«h (about 46-abont
120A.D.), Arrlu (about 96-176 a.d.], CsmIus Dio (about 150-about 236 i.D.),
the rhetoricians IMonjaius of HallcarDBSHoa (under Augustus), Lucian (about
13&-about ISO A.D.), and the geographer Strabo (about 64 b.c.-IO a.v.). Jose-
phns, the Jewish historian (37 A.D.-about 100), also uaed the Kolab.
N. 1.— Tbe name Atticiat is given to tbose reactlomuy writeni in the Eoin6
dialect («.cr. Lucian) who aimed at reproducing the purity of tbe earlier Attic.
Tbe Atticists flourished chiefly in the second centur; a.u.
N. 2. — Some writers distinguish, as a form of tbe Koini, the Bellenistic, a
name restricted by tbem to the language of tlie New Testament and of tbe
Septuagint (the parti; literal, partly tolerably free, Greek translation of the Old
Testament made by Grecized Jews at Alexandria and begun under Ptolemy
Philadelphus 2S6-24T ac.)- The word Hellenittie is derived from 'EXXiiKim}!
(from JUi)rl{w iptak Oreek), a term applied to persons not of Greek biriii
(especially Jews), who bad learned Greek. Tbe New Testament is composed in
the popular langosge of tbe time, which In that work is more or less influenced
by olassical models. No acenrate distinction cau be drawn between the Koin^
and Hellenlatic
G. Modem Oredc appears in literature certainly as early as the
eleventh century, when the literary language, which was still em-
ployed by scholars and churchmen, was no longer understood by the
common people. During the middle ages and until about tbe time of
the Greek Revolution (1821-1S31), the language was called Romaic
CPieiuuK^, from the fact that ttie people claimed the name of
Bomans (IPu^uuk), since the eapital of the Roman Empire had been
transferred to Constantinople. Tbe natural language of the modem
Greeks is the outcome of a continual development of the Koin4 in its
spoken form. At the present day the dialect of a Greek peasant is
still organically the same as that of tbe age of Demosthenes ; while
the written language, and to a less extent the spoken language of
oultiTated Athenians and of those who have been influenced by the
University at Athens, have been largely assimilated to the ancient
idiom. Modem Greek, while retaining in general the orthography
of the classical period, is very different in respect of pronunciation.

2. The Oreelt alphabet aa given above originated In Ionia, and waa adopted
at Athens In 103 b.c. The letters from A to T are derived from Phoenician and
have Semitic names. The signs T to fl irere invented by the Greeks. From the
Greek alphabet are derived the alphabets of most European countries. The
anolonla used onlj the large letters, called tiu^uteult* (capitals as E, uncials as
€}i Uie small letters (minutculei'), which were used as a literary hand In the
ninth century, are cursive lorms of Uie uncials.
a. Before 403 b.o. in the official Attic alphabet E stood for <, i), spurious «

3. In tbe older period there were two other letters: (1) F: paS, oau, oalled
dlgamma (i.f. double-gamma) from its shape. It stood after ■ and was pro-
nounced like u. f was written in Boeotian as late as 200 b.c. (2) 9: ttwira,
k^ppa, which stood after t. Another s, called tan, is fonnd in tbe ^gn -j^
called tamp^, i.e. *an + pi. On these signs as numerals, see 318.
VOWELS AND DIPHTHONQS
4. There are seven vowels : a, *, nf, i, o, v, ut. Of these c and o are
always short, and take about half the time to pronounce as ij and u,
which are always long; <hi,v are short in some syllables, long in
others. In this Grammar, when a, t, v are not marked as long (a, l,
v) they are understood to be short. All vowels with the circumflex
(149) are long. On length by position, see 144.
a. Vowels ore said to be open at dote aoooiding as tbe mooth Is more open

composed, though It is found in no Mrs. o( Homer. Many apparent Irregularities
of epic verse (such as hiatui, 4T D.) can be explained only by supposing that f
was actually sounded. Examples of words containing f are : Ivrti tovm, Amf
lord, kriAm pUOM, cf(u give way (cp. weak), cTicmi twtTUy (cp. vtglntfj, Iko-
rroi each, ixtir willing, fXirofui hope (cp. voIuptEu), foura ant like. It, at, I him, ({

DIPHTHONGS, BREATHINGS
3. A diphthong (8i<^A»yyot having two Bounds) combines two vowele
in one Hylla,ble. The second rowel is i or v. The diphthong are :
at, (t, M, ^, 0, ({I ; au, tv, ou, 1JV, and «. The i of the so-called improper
diphthongs, ^, g, i|i, is written below the line and is called iota S)(&-
aeript. But with capital letters, i is written on the line (adscript),
as THI OIAHI =: r^ ifig or 'lliS^ to the song. All diphthongs are long.
a. In f, p. If the i cewied to be wiittea about 100 b.c. The cnstom ol
writing t under the line is bh l&ta as about the eleventh century.
6. et, ou are either genuine or tpurtout (apparent) diphthongs (25). Genttlne
H, su are a combination of c -i- i, o + v, as In \ilru I leave (cp. XAwra I have left,

miion), may be written over t or u when these do not form a diph-
thotig with the preceding vowel: wpottrnfiu I set before, v^ttoa ship.
BREATHINQS
9. Every initial vowel or diphthong has either the rough (') or
the smooth (') breathing. The rough breathing (apiritus asper) is
pronounced as h, which is sounded before the vowel ; the smooth
ID. A diphthong tnoccuia in New Ionic ((Livrii the lame trout iaiT6t 68 T>.,
/nvvrou of myself = ifuiirrte 329 D., eavna = BaViia wonder). Ionic baa ijv for

later formed dlphthonga: wiu (or riXt) bog or girl, FliiXftlitf ton of Peleus, H
(or Hi) well, 'AlSifi (or 'AIS^) Hadet, yirti to a racr.

13. In compound words (as in TpoopSr tofortue, from 'jij + A^r) the rough
breathing is not written, though It must often have been pronounced ; cp. iitipa
a hall vith KOtt, Lat. txhedra, exedra, roXvfffrwp serj/ l«am<d, laL. polyhlUor.
On AtUo iQBcHptloQS la the old alphabet (2 a) we find ETHOPEON tM^n>v
faitt\fvl to one'* oath.
13. Every initial p has the rough breathing; ^f/rotp orator (Lat
rhetor). Medial pp is written Pp in some texts : IIii^^ Pyrrkiu.
14. The sign tor the rough breathing is derived from H, which in the Old
Attic alfibabet (2 a) was used to denote A. Thus, HO i the. After H vras used
to denote q, one half ()-) was used for h (about 300 B.C.), and, later, the other
half (H) for the smooth breathing. From I- and -I cone tie forms ' and '.
CONSONANTS
15. The seventeen consonants are divided into stops (or mutes),
spirants, liquids, nasals, and double coDsonaats. They may lie
arranged according to the degree of tension or slackness of the vocal
chords ia sounding them, as follows :
a. Voiced (sonant, i.e. sounding) consonants are produced when the vocal
chorda vibrate. The sounds are represented by the tetters p, I, y (stops), X, p
(liquids), It, r, 'V-Qual (19 a) (nssals), and f. (Alt the vowels are voiced.)
p with the rough breathing is voiceless.
b. Voiceless (surd, I.e. hushed) consonants require no exertion of the vocal
chords. These are r, r, c, ^, 6, x (stops), r (spirant or sibilant), and f and {.
C Arranged according to tlie increasing degree of noise, nearest to the vowels
are the naaals, in sounding which the air escapes without friction through Ibe
nose i next come the oemivowela u and i^ (^0 a), the liquida, and the spirants, in
It was sUtl sounded in the simple word. Horn, sometimes has the smooth where
Attic has the rough breathing in forms tiial are not Attic : 'AfSiji ('AiJiri), the god
Hadei, oXto tprang (SkXo/i'u), iiuiSit togtther (cp. iiia), f/iXm mm (flXwi), liiit
dawn (Jim), fpi7f hawk {lipa^), oiptt bonndary {Spot). But also in d^a leagon
(Attic ftfiofa). In Laconian medial a became ' (A) : iAiiai = irixifat ht con-
quered.
10 D. In Aeolic, u, like all the other vowels (and the dlphthonga), alvrays has
the smooth breathing. The epic forms tmut you, Bii^u, tfifut (32S D.) are Aeolic

next come the stops, which are produced by a remo?al of an ohstruotioii ; and
Snail; the double consonanU.
16. Stops (or mutes). Stopped consonants are bo called because
in sounding them the breath passage is for a moment completely
closed. The stops are dirided into three dasae* (according to the
part of the moutn chiefly actire in sounding them) and into three
orders (according to the degree of foroe in the ezpiratorjr effort).
Labial (Itp eonndi) ■■ ^ ^ I Smooth r r ■
Dental (teeth soonds) r S t \ Middle ply

a. The dentals are Bometimea called linffualt. The rough stops are also
called aipimUt (lit. breathed sounds) becanae the; were sonnded with a strong
emisBion of breath (2S). The smooth stops are thus distiagulahed from the
rough stops by the absence of breathing. ' (A) Is also an aspirate. The middle
stops owe their name to their poeitfon In the above grouping, which Is that of
tlie QreelE grammarians.
17. Spirants. — There is one spirant: a (also called a sibilant).
a. A spirant is heard when the breath passage of the oral oavlt; is ao nar-
rowed that a rubbing noise is produced b; an expiration.
1ft Idqnlds. — There are two liquids : X and p. Initial p always
has the rough breathing (13).
Id. Ifasala. — There are three nasals: p. (labial), v (dental), and
y-nasal (palatal).
a. Gsmma before ■, Ti X< f is called 7-nasal. It had the sound of n In think,
and was represented by n in Latin. Thus, iyinipa (LaL ancora) anohor, dTYiXai
(lAt aapeliu) mfsitiiger, aplyi iphtttx.
b. The name liquids is often need to include both liquids and oaaala.
20. Semivowels. — i,v, the liquids, nasals, and the spirant cr are
often called temivowels. (1 becoming {, and f are also called spirants.)
a. When 1 and u correspond to y and w (cp. minion, persaaie) they are said
tn be nnsyllsblc ; and, witb a following Towel, make one syllable out of two.
St'miTocalic 1 and v are written i and i;. Initial 1 passed into ' (A), as In frai*
llTtT. Lat. jecur,- and into j- in (vyjr yoke, Lat. jugvtn (here It is often called
the spinnt nn^. Initial 11 was written f (3). Medial 1, y before vowels wer»
often lost, as in ^^-(i^V Ihonovr, ^(u)-6% gen. of poU-t ox. cow (48).
b. The form of many words is due to the fact that the llquida, nasals, and r
may fulfil the office of a vowel to form ayllables (cp. bri^e, even, pMi). This is
iiijiiUBWl by X, u, f, f , jr, to be read 'syllabic X,' etc., or ■ sonant \' (seeSSb, c).
ZL Doable Consonants. — These are I, i, and ij/. C >B a combination

ANCIENT QREEK PRONUNCIATION
23. The proQunciation of Ancient Greek varied much according
to time and place, and differed in many important respects from
that of the modern lang^a^. While in general Greek of tlie classical
period was a phonetic language, i.e. its letters represented the sounds,
and no heard sound was unexpressed in writing (but see 108), in course
of time many words were retained in their old form though their pro-
nunciation had changed. The tendency of the language was thus to
become more and more unphonetic. Our current pronunciation of
Ancient Greek is only in part even approximately correct for the
period from the death of Pericles (429 b.c.) to that of Demosthenes
(322) ; and in the case of several sounds, e.g. C, ^, ^i 6, it is certainly
erroneous for that period. But ignorance of the exat^t pronunciation,
as well as long-eatabiished usage, must render any reform pedantical,
if not impossible. In addition to, and in further qualification of, the
list of sound equivalents in 1 we may note the following;
24. Towels. — Short a, i, v differed in eoand from the correaponding long
vowels only in being less prolon^d ; i and a probably differed from q and w also
in being leas open, a diSerence that is imposaibie to panllel in KngllBh aa oar

(onnded as u in prune, but by the flfttk century Lad become Like that of Fr. tu,
Germ, thiir. It never had in Attic the sound of u in mnte. After v had becomo
like Germ, il, the only means to represent the sound of the old u (oo in moon}
was ui (25). Oboerre, however, that, In diphthongs, final u retained the old u
29. DiphtliongB. — The diphtbongB vrere sounded nearly as follows:
(u as in Cairo av as ou in out tpi as eh'-oo
a as in ti«fit cv as e (met)+ oo (moon) orv asdA'-oo
01 as in toU ov as in ourang n as in Fr. huit
In f^ U, V ^^ '°>>S oP'i^ vowela had completely overpowered the i by 100 B.C.,
to that I ceased to be written (6 a). The t Is now generally neglected in pro-
nmiclstloa though it may have still been sounded to some extent in the fourth
century B.C. — The genuine diphthongs « and o» (6) were originally distinct
doable aonnds («A'-i, oh'-oo), and as sach wet« written EI, OT in the Old Attic
alphabet (2a): EPEIAE /rt.ait, TOYTON T«}r«,r. The spurious diphthongs
a and o« (6) are digraphs representing the long sounds of simple i (French e)
and oiiginal u. By 400 b.c. genuine « and ou had become simple single sounds
pronounced as ef in vein and uu in ourang; and spuriouH » and du, which had
been written E and 0 (2 a), were now ofl«n written EI and OT. AfterSOOB.c.
« gradually acquired the sound of ei in eeixe. tu was sounded like eA'-oo, t|u
and « lilie eh'-oo, Oh'-oo, pronounced npidly but smoothly, w is now com-
monly sounded as uf in guff. It occurred only before vowels, and the loss of
the I in Ui ton (43) shows that the diphthongal sound was disliked.
26- Coiuonants. — Most of the consonants were sounded as in English (1).
Before i, k, y, r, a- never had a xA (or eh) sound heard in I^da (Auicia), Atia
('Avis), r was usually like our sharp ■ ; but before voiced consonants (15 a)
it probably was soft, like s; thus we And both thiiuit and K6aiiat on inscriptions.
— \ was probably = zd, whether it arose from an original cS (as in 'A#4"{>i
from *AAira(r)i-9c Athen»-uiar<U'), or from dz, developed from dy (as in Co-li",
from (d)yuyiw, cp. jugum). The i in nf gradually extinguished the if, until in
the Hellenistic period (p. 4) f sank to z (as in zeal), which is the sound in
Modem Greek. — The aspirat(« ^, S, x ^Bre voiceless stops (15 b, 10 a) followed
by a strong expiration : ■-'>, r'>, ('■ as in vpheaval, hothouse, backhand (though
here A Is in a different syllable from the stop). Thus, ifiriyai was r'tiya, SAw
was t'Am, (x" "^ '-''"■ Cp. /*' i} tor iw(t) 'f, etc Probably only one A was
heard when two aspirates came together, as in ix^pit (inr'pit). After 800 a.d.
(probably) ^, 8, and x became spirants, p being sounded as / (aa in ^fXmoi
natp), e tM Ih in theatre, x as cA in German I'cA or loch. The stage between
aspbatesand spirants is sometimes ifpresented by the writing r^ (=fi/), r9, kxi
tt D. Aeolio has at for { in ti^floi ({{m branch). In late Laconian 9 passed
into r (ffiipfoF = 9i)pfBr viild beott). In Laconian and some other dialects p

EUPHONY OF VOWELS
CONTACT OP VOWELS AND HIATD8
46. Attic more than any other dialect disliked the immediate
succeBsion of two vowel sounds in adjoining Bjllablea. To avoid
such succession, which often arose In the formation and inflection of
words, various means were employed : conti-action (48 ff.), when the
vowels collided in the middle of a word ; or, when the succession
occurred betweeu two words (hiattit), by crasia (62 ff.), eltafon (70 ff.),
apluKTMis (76), or by affixing a movable consonant at the ead of
the ft)rmeT word (134).
47. HIatna la usually avoided In prose writ«rB by elision (TO ff.) ; bnt In
oases wbare elirion is not possible, hiatus la allowed to remain by different
writers In different degrees, commonly after short words, sach as u, ti, 4> 'aii
Iti, and the forms of the article.

CONTRACTION
COHTBACTION
Wl Gontraotion unites in a single long vowel or diphthong tro
Towels or a. Towel and a diphthong standing next each other in
snccessire syllables in the same word.
a. Ocoaalan for oontraction la made especially bj the ooncarrence of Towel
•ounda ffhloh wenonoe separated hj <r, g (^), and j,(lT, 20 a).
The following ate the chief rules governing contraction :
49. (I) Two vowels which can form a diphthong (5) unite to
form that diphthong : yivti = yhu, aiSoi = cu&k, Kk^lSpov = xX^dpov.
50. (II) Like Vowels. — Like vowels, whether short or long, unite
in the common long ; a, oa become u, ov (6) : yipaa ^ y*pit <ptXi^€
=: ^cA^rc ; iifiiKu ^ l^nXti, 5>f Aoofuv = 8>j\oi]ficf.
a. I ia nrely contracted with i (j^ + tSu' — iiptliar tmall makt) or v with v
(it ton in InscripUoDS, from A(t)^ = Mt, 43).
51. (Ill) Unlike Vowels. — Unlike vowels are assimilated, either
the second to the first (progresnoe assimilation) or the first to the
second (regretaive assimilation).
a. Ano soond always prevalla over an a or e sound: • or w before or after*,
and before n, forma ■. m and m form au (a spurioua diphthong, 0). Thai,
Tiiii»itir =: ri/iAiur, aiSia = alSii, ^pv = 4^i tI/iJm = tIhQ, tqXAirre = ttfX^c ;
bat ^Maiuf = ^XoCfuv, Siitiirror = 8q\aDrii*.
b. When a and t or i| come together the vowel sound that preced J prevails,
and we have I or i| : Spat = Spi, rtfultrrc = ri/ulrt, Bpia = Spij.
e. « rarely eontiacta : « + 1 = u la (x^ttor from IxMSmt tmall fith ; ■ + *
•tiictly never becomes t> (2TS).
ax. (IV) Vowels and Diphthongs. — A vowel disappears before a
diphthong beginning* with the same sound: /tvwu = fivu^ ^iXtusa
^An, SfXoM = SijAoi.
53, A vowel before a diphthong not beginning with the same
sonnd generally contracts with the first vowel of the diphthong ; the
last vowel, if i, is subscript (5): rviousrifif, ri/ioot^Mr = r^if ^mt,
a. Bnt ■ + ot becomes m: ^iU« = ^iXa<i • + «i, a + i] become m: Ai|Mfis
I = i occurs chiefly in the Ionic, Doric, and Aeolic dative Angular
:i (MS D.}, OS In *iXu = t6)u ; also In the optaUve, as in ^A<i-ra s

EUPHONY OF VOWELS

55. (V) Three Vowels. — When three vowels come together, the
last two unite first, and the resulting diphthong may be contraeted
with the first vowel : thus, rZ/if is from ri/ia-g out of rt^-c(o')a( ; but
Ilc^tKXeDVf from TltpiKXatK.
56. Irragulaiitles. — A short vowel preceding a or any long tow«I or dipb-
tbong, In contracts of the first and second declensions, is apparently abeorbed
(236, 290) : xpt"*^ = Xfwo (not xpi"^), ir\Aa = ir\i (not ixXfi), by analogy
to tbe a which marks tlie neuter plural, xpiff'"" = xp"""'' (So ti/Uat — fittai
to show the -ai of ttie accua. pi.) Only in the singular of the Srst declension
does ttt become ij (or 5 after a Towel or p) ; xpuffWi — XP"^^% ipyupi^ = ipyvpf.
In the third declension tia becomes w (20&) ; us or ita becomes la (ui) or it) (vq).
See 292 d.
Various special cases will be considered nnder their appropriate sectioDS.
57. The contraction of a long vowel with a short vowel sometimes does not
occur by reason of analogy. Thus, n^ (two syllables) follows rt^ii, the older
form of Hiit (276). Sometimes the long vowel was shortened (39) or transfer
of quantity took place (34).
58. Vowels that were once separated by «' or | (20) are often not con-
tracted In dissyllabic forms, but contracted In polysyllabic forma. Thna, tft(v)it
god, but BtunvSiliii Thncydiiiei (Bt6t + euJdi gloiy).

Ga In poetry two vowels, or a vowel and a diphthong, belonging
to Buccessive syllables may unite to focm a single syllable in pronun-
ciation, but not in writing. Thus, fiiXta miaailea, toXi^k city, llTJkffior
&« ton of Peleua, xp"<^<V golden. This is oalled Synvtisii (owi^i^ic
tSttiitg together). ^
fiL Synizesis may occur between two words when the first ends
in a long vowel or diphthong. This is eapeoially the case with 8^
MD. Attic contractB more, Ionic lees, than the other dialects. The laws of
eoatnction often diHer in the different dialects.
1. louic (Old and New) Is distinguished by its absence of contraction. Thus,
rXJM for a-XoSt voyage, fix'^ for rtlx'i walla, iaria for Js-Ta boiut, deiji) for
•fH tong, iMpr/6t for ipyit idle. The Mbs. of Hdt. geuerally leave «, ni nncon-
tncled ; but this 1b probably erroneous in most cases. Itnilc rafely contracta
where Attle doee not : iySiiiorra for tyiviitna, tighty.
S. to, tu, tov generally remain open In all dialects except Attic. In Ionic m
Is anally monoay liable. Ionic (and less often Doric) nuy contract <ii, mv to tut
tti from oio o/ thet, ^iXnVt from ^iXfovrt they lovt.
S. OB, SO, a«, OH contract to d in Doric and Aeolic. Thus, 'Arptlti from
'ixfitii*. Dor. Y'XSm they laugh from ytXiom, x"P^' from x'f^'" ofeomttritt.
Id Aeolic od = « In piBUrri (Ion. ^6tm) ^ Att. ffoifioCm aiding (dative).
4. Dorie contracts w to q ; a<r to ii ; a«, an to ir- "Hiua, rlci) from ritat co*-
tuerl ipi from ipiti and ip.ig ; but u — S (JXwi from iOun, Hom. i)Aiai sun).
fi. The Severer (and earlier) Doric contacte n to ?i, and «, oo to w. Thus,
M^M bom ^tirtt, RitXwrt from Stfliiirt, trra from Iwwo-a (2% D.){ t^e Milder
(and later) Doric and N. W. Qreek contnut to «, and gv. Aeolic agrees with tbe

Where the firat vowel is sbort, t, < were sounded nearly like y ; u nearly like w.
Cp. 44 a. The single syllable produced by synlzeais Is aliooet always long.
42. Crasis {xpatrK mingling) is the contraction of a vowel or
diphthong at the end of a word with a vowel or diphthong begins
ning the following word. Over the syllable reaultiug from contrac-
tion is placed a ' called cormia (Kopaivit hook), as riXXa from ra jAAa
the other things, the rest.
a. The coronls U not written when the rough breathing ataoda on the flisi
word : 6 irepam = irSpuwoi.
b. Crasis does not occur when the first vowel may be elided. (Some editors
write TiWa, etc)
63. Crasis occurs In general only between words that belong togetlker; and
the flrst of the two words uiut«d by oraaia is usually the leas important ; as the
article, relative pronoun (Jl, I), irp6, coi, ii), i. Crasts oocnrs chiefly in poetry.
a. It Is rare In Horn., common In the dialogue parts of the drama (especially
In comedy), and frequent in the orautts.
64. r, T, K become ^, 0, x when the next word begins with the rough breath-
ing (124) 1 TO 1iiiip^== ^Mv t^ <^Vi "ol <■' and the ~ x«' (S8 c).
65. Iota subscript (5) appears in the ayUabte resulting from crasis only when
the first syllable of the second word contains an i : tyii alja = 'yv'' / know
(tmt r^ ipyirif = rdipyirif the irutmmtltt, S8 a).
66. The mlee for cnsis are in general the same as those for oontraction
(48 fl.). Thus, Ti iniia = To6roiia the name, i it - air, & irtp :^ inp oh man,
T^ lx<*' = rpotxur excelling, ri l^riov — iel/iATiot the eloalc(M), i ty<i = ifi.
But the following exceptions are to be noted (OT~09) ;
67. A diphthong may lose its flnal vowel : nl tiul = aliial, rot irrl = ffobrt,
^v UtI = laiCTl. Cp. 43, eS.
68. The flnal vowel or diphthong of the article, and of rol, is dropped, and an
initial a of the next word is lengthened unleaa It Is the first vowel of a diph-
thong. The same rule applies in part to ml.

elision to not expressed, it eeems to have occurred In speaking ; i.e. SU «lr< and
V flr« were spoken ajiiie. The Mm. are of tittle value In sncb cases.
71. Elision affects only anlmportant nords or syllables, snch as particles,
adverbs, prepodtions, and conjunctions of tno syllables (except rtpl, Ixf,
fixfiL, Sri 73 b, c), and the final syllables of nouns, pronoans, and verbs.

1«L A syllable ending in a vowel is said to be open; one ending

open, tbe second closed.
QUANTITr OP 8YLLABLBS
142. A syllable is sbort when it contains a short vowel followed
by a vowel or a single consonant : 6t-6i god, i-v6-far<Ta I thought.
14a A syllable is long by nature when it contains a long vowel
or a diphthong : x^P°- ^"■'"^i So^Aot dave.
144. A syllable is long by position when its vowel precedes two
consonants or a double consonant : iinm horse, H out of.
a. One or both of the two consonanle lengthening a final eyllalile by position
Diay belong to the next word : IXXoi riMrr)t, dXXa iT^fu.
b. Length by position does not aSect the natural quantity of a vowel. Tbna,
both U-{w / »haU say and X^-fw I shall ceaie have the first syUabU long b7
posiUcn ; but tbe fliat ooimI is short In X^fu, long in Xff"-
145. A stop with a liquid after a short vowel need not make
the preceding syllable long by position. A syllable containing a
short vowel before a stop and a liquid is amimon (either short
er long). When short, such syllables are said to have weak position.
Thus, in Bdtpv, Tatpit, SirXDr, rAcnr, rl Spi the fltst syllable Is either long or
■hon as the verse requires. In Homer the syllable before a stop with a liquid
is usually long ) in Attic it is usually short.

division. Thus, in rrnur, the first syllable is closed (T/ic-t«r); while in t^kkiv
tbe firat syllable U open (t/-ic»f). Cp. 141.
146. The quantity of most gyliablea is uauall; apparent. Thus, syllables

N. — Bnt syllables with ; 0, or s, 1, u before a stop and a liqntd may be
diort (14g). Cp. also 147 c.
147. llie quantity of syllables containing a, t, v before a vowel or a single
oonsonant must be learned by observation, especially in poetry. Note, however,
that a, I, V are always long
a. when they have the circumflex accent ; rSi, biiiv.
b. when they arise from contraction (50) or crasis (62): yipa from yipaa,
ipyit idle from i-tpyot (but ipyh bright), xiyii from nl iyii.
c ( and V are generally short before { (except as initial Hounda in augmented
forms, 436) and a, 1, v before f. Thus, it^paf, itipOia, x>^, iprifu, f\rtiii.
d. BI, II, and m are long when rorrr has dropped out before t (90, 100).
a. The accent often ahowa the qoantity (ISS, 104, ITO).
148. A Towel standing before another vowel in a Greek word is not neces-
■arily short (aa it usually la in classical Latin).
146 D. In Hom. an fnlUal liquid, nsaal, and digamma (3) was probably
doubled in pronnnciatiOD when it followed a short syllable carrying the

2. This shortening does not occur when the rhythmic accent falls upon the
floal syllable: iTitt^'OSi^i (^^>j ^J^^^ ^j^^),4ln(^yj^).
ACCENT
149. There are three accents in Greek. No Greek accent can
■tand farther back than the antepenult.
1. Acnt«('): over short or long vowels and diphthongs. It may
stand on ultima, penult, or antepenult : xoXot, Sot^um', 3.v6pmrK.
2. Qrcnmflez (~) : over vowels long by nature and dipfathangs. It
m^ stand on ultima or penult : y^, Ban, SStpov, rmro.
3. OraYe('); over short or long vowels and diphthongs. It stands
on the ultima only i riy StSpa, rifv tv)(i)v, oi &t6i t^s 'EAAoSof.
isa The acute marks syllables pronounced in a raised tone.
The grave is a low-pitched tone as contraated with the acute. The
circumflex combines acute and grave.
151. Accented sjllables in Ancient Greek had a higher pUeh (rint) than
nokccented aylUbles, and it was the rising and faiUiiig of the pitch that made
Ancient Greek a musical language. The Greek word for accent is TpovySIS
(IM. aeeenCvt: from ad-eano), i.e. 'Boug accompanying words.' Musical
accent (elevation and depression of tone) la to be dUtingoished from quantity
(duration of tone), and from rhythmic accent (streaa of voice at fixed intervals
when there ia a regular aeqaence of long and short ayllables).
N. — The accent heard in Modern Greek and English is a Hreu-atxent.
Stress is produced by strong and weak expiration, and takes account of accented
Billables to the neglect of the quantity of unaccented syllables. Thus, shortly
alter Christ, SrSptnot was often pronounced like a dactyl, ^IXat like a trochee ;
and Tpdrvrer, Irrin, were even written wp^emr, hrfyi.
152. The marks of accent are placed over Clie vowel of the accented syllable.
A diphthong has the accent over Its second vowel (jovro), except in the case of
capital 9, g, v (as 'Aiiiti, 5), where the accent stands before the first vowel
153. A breathing is written before the acuta and gt&ve (or, Jf), but under
the circumflex (w, ovtot). Accents and breathings ate placed before capitals;
'Qit^pat, 'Ofitu. The accent stands over a mark of diaeresis (8); icXqfji.
IM. The grave is written in place of a final acute on a word that
U followed immediately by another word in the sentence. Thus,
fUTa T^ I'^Xf i/^ '^ baXtle (for fixra rqv ftajcp')' It is also some-
times placed on ris, tI (334), to distinguish these indefinite pronouns
from tne interrt^atives rt's, tL
a. An oxytone (167) changes its acute to the gt&vewhen followed by another
word, except: (1) whentheoxytoueisfollowedby an enclitic(I83a); (2) in rft,
rl Eolarrogative, as rlt •jItdi ; who's thlt f (3) when an elided ayllable follows
3. The shortening rarely occurs in the interior of a word. Thus, Horn. 4pwot
(_wvj), Mr {.yj^\ In the Attic drama airift <_w_), to«B™» (u_v),
rwd (u _), often written nS in inscriptions (cp. 43).
S8 ACCENT [155
th« accented syllable: rix^ tKi,r (124), not t^x^' IX^r (lT4a); (4) wlien a
colon or period followa. (Usage varies before a ooioma.)
155. Tbe ancienU reganlfd the grave originally as belongiog to every ajrlla-
ble not accented wlilt tbe acute or circumflex ; and soma Mbs. abow thia in
practice, e.g. Tkyicpitiit. LaUr it was restricted lo iu use as a substitute for a
final acut«.
156. The clTCumflex is formed froiu the uninn of the acute and the grave
^r\ _ ~)^ never from ^'. Thus, raU = rilt, eB = li. Similar!;, since every long
Towel may be reBoIved into two short units (morae), rQr may be regarded as
= T-Mr. The clrcumfiex was thus spoken with a rising tone followed by one of
lower pitch. fuOsa, iijiiai are Ihus =: liiian, Sii/iot ; iMianit, S^iav are ^ fiii^o-igt,
SU/iau. In SiSaSca (f.e. SitHiaa) compared with SiSaSt the accent hu receded
(169) one mora.
a, "Rie whole vowel recBtves the acuie when the second short unit of a Towd
long by nature is accented : M = Alf.
157. Words are named according to their accent as follows ;
Oxytone (acute on the ultima) : Ojp, xakoi, XcXvkws.
Paroxytone (acute on tlie penult) : Afu, AuVui, XtXvHorot.
Proparoxytone (acute on the antepenult) : ivSpanm, n
PenspomenoQ (circumSex on the ultimii) : y^, 6tmi.
ProperiBpomenon (circumflex on the penult) ; upo^K, iiaaaa.
Barytone (when the ultima ia unaccented, 158) : lunxm, iLJfnfp, toXc^uk.
196. A word is called haiytone (^opf-ront dtfp-toned, low-lonrd) when it
haa no accent on the nltiiua. All paraiytonea, proparoiy tones, and properi-
i^mena are also barytones.
159. An accent is called rectMive when it moves back as far from the end
of the word as the quantity of the ultima permiis (106). The quantity of the
penult Ea here disregarded (r/i^u/Mr). Cp. 1TB.
160. OxyUiJie {iiit, akarp + T6m) means ' sharp-toned,' ptrl^omenoa (rtpir
mifunt) ' tiinied-around ' (_circutnflectuM, 156). Parozj/Ione and pTi^roxytune
are derived from t(6Tarat with the prepositions wapi and rpi respectively. Acute
corresponds to Lat. ocuttu (Jfcia, $cil. Tpa^vtli).
161. The invention of tbe marks of accent ia attributed to Aristophanes of
Byzantiam, librarian at Alexandria about 200 b. c. The use of signs served to
fix the correct accentuation, which waa becoming uncertain in the third century
B.C.; marked the variation of dialect usage; and rendered the acquisition of
Oreek easier for foreigners. The signs for the accents (and the breathings)
were not regularly employed [a Mss. till after 600 a.d.
163. The position of the accent has to be learned by oheervation. But the
Und of accent is determined by the following rules.
m D. 1. Aeolic has recessive (159) accent In all words except prepoaltions
and conjunctions. Tlnin, vi^t, ZtOt, i.t. Ziit, aSr«t, \lxtir (s Xirerr), UrvrrM
(= XtrJrrof), i^itt (= flutU^.
itg] ACCENT 89
163. The antepenult, if acoented, can have the aonte only {Mp^
mt, fiaaiXMia qtieen, olKo^itXawK of a houM^aard). If the ultima is
long, either h; natuce or b; position (144), tlie antepenult cannot
tabe an accent: heuce dt^pwrm (176a), ffatriXcia kingdmn, ouco^uXof.
a. Some nouns in -tun and -tvr admit the scaU on tlie antepenulL Thoi,
the genitivB of nouna in -it and -vt {xiXtat, rdXiuv, itrrtut), the forma of the
Mie declension, as IXtun (280'). Bo the lonlo ganlUve in -*u (roMrm) ; also
lomfl compound adjectiTea in -an, as Sirtpan vnhappv in loot, it/ilKtput loft)
aMtrtd. On Jmrot see 186.
IH. The penult, if accented and lon^, takes the circumflex when
the ultima is short by nature (v^trot, Tuura). In all other cases it has
the acute (^u^Sot, XtXvKortK, ravTov).
a. Apparent excepUons are fi^n, oCrit, ^St (proper!? ^St). See 186.
b. A flnal Billable containing a vowel short hy nature followed by { or ^ does
not pennit tbe acute to eland on tho antepenult (olca^tfXat) ; but the circumflex
ma; stand on the penult (n^puf).
169. The ultima, if accented and short, has the acute {^rom^) ;
if accented and long, has either the acute (AtXiwiof ), or the oircnaflez
(DfpucAT*).
166. When the ultima is long, the acute cannot stand on the
antepenult, nor the circumflex on the penult Thus, ivdpvrmi and
bpoti are impossible.
IE7. When the ultima is short, a word, if accented
a. on the ultima, has the acute : iro^m.
b. on a short penult, has the acute : vo/uk-
C on a long penult, has the circumflex : Swpor.
d. on the antepenult, haa the acute : SvBfMwot.
16B. When the ultima is long, a Tord, if accented
a. on the ultima, has the acute or the circumflex : iyii, tro^wc-
b. on the penult, has the acute : Xiav, Soifuuv.
169. Final -ai and 41 are regarded as short: /naOtat, ^Xs/ui, rpiraXst,
ip^fwai. But in the optative -oi and -« are long (Xtroi, ^uXcAh), bs fn con-
tractad syllables. So also in the locative afm at hotne (but olm hou$M).
a. The difference In tbe qaantitaUve treatment of '04 and -w dependa on an
original difference of accentuation that may have vanished in Greek, -ai and
2. Doric regarded Snal-ai(I69}aslong(di'#)iiir«), and probabi; ^at in nouna
(Xiipu); made paroijtonee the E pi. act. of the past teusea (^i^pur, AArsr) and
uch words aa vaiin, yvnlKn, rriirai ; made perinpomena the gen. masc. pi. of
proooons (javrl^t, iXt-at) and the gen. fern. pi. of adj. In -ot (dufore^r). Tbe
MbMitation, in the accus. pi., of -4i and -at tot -dt and -out, caused no change
in tb« aooMit (rdrb, AfirAM).
-w, wheD short, were prODonnced with a clipped, or limple, tone; when long,
irith a dnwl«d, or compound, lone.
170. The qo&ntlty of a, t, u (IIT) may ofl«u be learned from the accent.
Thus, In MXarrs, i}>uvt>i, r^xvii J^ra^ut, ftQni, the Tovel of the last syllable
maM be abort; In ^IXm the t mnel be short (otherwise ^iXm). Cp. 163.
ACCENT AS AFFECTED BY CONTBACTIOK, CBASIS, AUD ELI810X
171. Contraction. — If either of the syllables to be contracted had
an acceat, the coutracted syllable has an accent. Thus :
a. A contracted antepenult has the acute : fi\*iiutet = ^Xoii/ufDi.
b. A contracted penult has the circumflex when the nltima is ihoit ; the
acal^ when the ultinia Is long : ^tXfauri = ^iXtSci, ^Xi6fTur = ^^airrttr.
c. A contracted nltima lias the acute when the nncontracted form was
oxytone : farsiit = irriit ; otherwise, the circnmfiex : ^\4u = ^XA.
N. 1. — A contracted syllable has the circumflex only when, la the nncon-
tracted form, an acut« was followed by the (unwritten) grave (156, 156).
Thus, IIfp»X^t = n(ptiX$i, Tliiiia = rliui. In all other cases we have the acute :
^Mirruw = ^Xotfrrwv, ptfii-it = fitfiiii.
N. 2. — Exceptions to 171 are often due to the analogy of other forms (236 a,
2M e, 279 a, 290 c, 309 a).
172. If neither of the syllables to be contracted had an accent,
the contracted syllable has no accent : ^'Xm = iftiXxt, ytvti = ytva,
v^hVAooc = -mpiirXoav. For exceptions, see 236 b.
173. Craals. — In crasis, the first Tord (as less important) loses
its accent : riyadi for ra ii)>aAi, rav for ri. tv, K&ya for ko! jyw.
a. If the second word la a dissyllabic paroiytone with short ultima, It is uncer-
tain whether, in craHis, the parozylone remajns or changes to properispomenon.
In this book ratprfOT, rdWa are written for rh (pYor, rd AXXa ; but many scholars
write TaBp-ror, raXXa.
174. Eliiion. — In elision, ozytone prepositions and conjnactions
lose their accent: irap'(fori™pi)ffwi),(UX'(f*'''^*^)'Y"- In other oxy-
tones the accent is thrown back to the penult : iroAA' (for iroAAa) hroBw.
a. Obaerre that In riXX' fwaSot the acute is not changed to the grave (154 a,
S). A circumflex does not result from the recession of the accent. Thus, #4^'
(not ^li) iyii for ^/d tyii. riri and rori, after a word which cannot reorave
their accent (183 d), drop their accent : ovrw wrr ijr.
anastkAphe
175. Anastrophe (Ayatrrpin^ turning-back) occurs in the case of
oxytone prepositions of two syllables, which throw the accent back
on the first syllable.

CHAKGB OF ACCENT IN DBOLEysrON, INFLECTION, AND
COMPOSITION
17& When a short ultima of the ooniinative is lengthened in an
oblique case
a. a proparoxf tone becomes paroxytone : fioAarm OtOidmii, ivSpanrot
b. a properiepomenonbecoines paroxytone: ^unicra^ii(ri;i,SupovS(0pov.
C an oxytone becomes perispomenon in the genitive and dative of
the sectmd declenaion : Otot $toi 0t^ fieSiv Btott.
177. When, for a long ultima, a short ultima is substituted in
inflection
a a dissyllabic paroxytone (with penult long by nature) becomes
properiapomenon : kim Xut.
b. a polysyllabic paroxytone (vith penult either long or short) be-
comes proparoxytone : mahtvio muSrut, rktKw vXittOfuv.
178. In composition the accent is usually recessive (159) in the
case of substantives and adjectives, regularly in the case of verbs ;
a. Proper names having the form of a substantive, adjective, or participle,
Dfoally change the accent ; 'EXrii (Arif), rXaCirai (^XavjcJt), TAwr (vcXSr).

MARKS OF PUNCTUATION
188. Greek has four marks of punctuation. The cnmma and period have
the same forms as in GnKlish. For the colon and semicolon Greek has only one

INFLECTION
109. Putt of Speaeh. — Greek ha^ the foUowiag parts of speech:
substantives, adjectives, pi'oaouns, verbs, adverbs, prepositions, con^
iaiictloiis, and particles. lu this Crrainmar noun is oaed to include
both the substantive and the adjective.
190: Inflection is the change in the form of nouns, pronouns, and
verbs which indicates their relation to other words in the sentence.
Zkdeneion is the inflection of substantives, adjectives (including par-
ticiples), and pronouns; conjugation is the innectioa (^ verbs.
191. Stems, —Inflection I« Bhowa by the addition of endingg to the »tem,
which is that part of sword which sets forth the Mm,' the endings 6t the word
to stand In various relations to oUier words In the sentence. The «iidings
originally had distinct meaningB, which are now seldom qtpuenL In Tsrba they
represent the force of the personal pronouns in English ; in nonns they often
oonespond to the Ideas expressed by of, to, for, eta. Thus, die stem \07a-
becomes Xfryo-i tDord, the stem Xryo- becomes ifya-iur tM (oy. Whether a stem
le nsed ss a noua or a verb depends solely on ila signification ; many stems are
used botb tor nouns and for verbs, as rifid- in ri>i4 honour, rlpa- in ri/i^-u
/ Aonottr; Arif- in i\vl(^S)-t hopr, Arl^n Ihope (ArtS-jM). The pure stem,
that is, the stem without any ending, may serve as a word ; as x<^ land, X^
■peoifc / XAy* oh word I
192. The stem often changes in form, but not in meaning, in nouns and
Tertie. Thus, the stem of XAyo-' word la Xirvii- or Xdyi-, of rari)^ father is rartp-
(strong stem) or warp- (weak stem) ; of \tlrt-iur tee Uav is X(in-, of f.XI«o-
lur we Uft is Xiro-. The verbal stem Is also modified to Indicate change in time :
Tlii.lt<9-iur tee thail honour.
193. Eoota. — The fundamental part of a word, which remains after the
word has been analyzed inio alt its component parts, is called a not. When
a stam agrees in form with a root (as in raS-it, gen. of wtii foot) It is oalled a
root-»tem. A root contains the mere Idea of a word in the vaguest and moet
abstract form possible. Thus, the root Xo*. and in another form iay, contains
the idea of mginif simply. By the addition of a formative element a we arrive
at the stems Xttd- and Xbyo- in tJyo-/ui ve Mjr, )Jn»-* word ((.<. what la aald).
189-197] DECLENSION 46
Words are bnllt hj adding to tiie root certain formatiTe sofflxea by vhleb the
■tern and then the woid, ready for use, is constructed. Thus, from the root Xu
■re formed X^4i-i lootitig, y^-rpa-t ran»on, Xu-n-ii-i able to looie, Xu-^m to
have looted. The formation of the stem by the addition of suffixes to the root
is treated in Pan HI. llie root itself may asBume various forms irithoat chati^
of meaoing, as \ty in \iy-B-iur we saj/, Xoy in Xir-o-i word.
N. ^Since Greek is connected with the other Indo-European languages, the
roolA whioh we establish In Greek by analysis of a word into its simplest form .
often reappear in the connected languages (p. 1, A). Thus, the root i>tp dl ^pu
f bear is seen in Sanskrit bhirami, LaL fero, Oerm. ffe^baren. The assomption
of roots is merely a grammatical convenience in the analysis of word-forme, and
their determination is part of comparative grammar. Koots and suffixes as soch
□ever existed as independent words in Greek, or Indeed in any known period of
the p«rent language from which Greek and the other Indo-European tongues
are derived. The theory that all roots am monoHyUables Is ill supported. As
far back as we can follow the history ol the Indo-European languages we find
only compleU words; hence their analysis Into component morphological ele-
ments is merely a soienliflc device for purposes of arrangement and clasuficaUon.
DECLENSION
IM. Declension deals with variations of number, gender, and case.
195. HimibeT. — There are three numbers: singular, dual, and
pluraL The dual speaks of ttoo or a pair, as rta o^6kiA^a) the two
"pea; but it is not often used, and the plural (which denotes more
than one) is frequently substituted for it (m 6^6iiXfUji the eyes).
196. Qoider. — There ate three genders : masculine, feminine, and
a. Q«nder strictly marks sex-distinction. Bat in Greek, as in German and
French, many Inanimate objects are regarded as masculine or feminine. Such
nordfl are said to have > grammatical ' gender, which is determined only by their
form. Words denoting objects without natural gender usually show their gram-
matical gender by the form of the adjective, as itaxpii fJiyat a long tpeeeh,
^oxfA rfrvt a long island, iiatpAi Tcixef a long mall.
b. ^te gender of Greek words is usually Indicated by means of the article ;
t tor maacnUne, 4 for feminine, ri for uenter.
197. Rule of Natural Gender. — Nouns denoting male persons are
masculine, nouns denoting female persons are feminine. Thus,
o vavrtp sattaan, 6 trTpaTttinp soldier, ^ yw^ woman, ^ xoptj maiden.
a. A whole class is designated by the masculine : ol iiSpuroi men, i.e. men
and teamen.

199. Gender of Sezlesa Objwta. — The gender of most nouns denot-
. ing sexless objects lias to be learned by the endings (211, 228, 255)
and by observation. The following general rules should be noted.
a. Maaciillne are the names of windi, months, and most tivert. Tbns, 6 Bep^it

N. — Tbe gender of these proper names la made (o correspond to j dn/wt wind,
6 /i^f numth, i waTaiiM river. In the case of winds and rivers tlie gender may
be due in part to peiHoniflcatioii.
b. Feminine are the names of almost all countries, aia-nda, cHiet, treea,
and plaiOa. Tlius, 4 'Arnicf AUiea, i) A^Xot Dtlos, 17 KApiiAit Corinth, 4 ittrn

oak (t6 iiripar Is the ordinary word for tree').
c. Feminine are most abstract iivords, that is, words denoting aguali'iyoracoii-
dUUin. Thus, 4 itp^li tirtue, * tSraia good-ieill, ^ raxirtii tvHflneM, ^ ftrrd hope,
A. Neuter are diminutives (197 b), words and expressions quoted, letters of
tbe alphabet, infinitives, and indeclinable nouns. Thiu, ri biitU the word 'yoti,'
t4 yrQSt fffouri* the eaying ' learn to know thyself,' ri SXifia alpha, ri roiltte*

N. — But some names of women end in -mip (IBTb): i TXvKipier Glyeerium.
200. KematicB. — a. Moat of the exceptions to IW a-b are due to
tbe endings j e.g. ^| Aiiftj Letlte, i) Zritf Styx (rivers of the Lower World), r4
'Apyot Argos, 6 KaXoiiir Calydon, ri 'IXior ilium, dI AfX^I Delphi, 6 Xvr&i lotus.

4 Ucura ihe-molf, t roiip-^t poet, ij ni-firpm poetest, i ffivrot and ^ pmrii life,
4 Tpirot manner, 4 ^P^irii TOM.
c. Tlie gender of one word may influence that of another word of like mean-
ing. Thus 4 i^ot island and 4 ^lAit stoiut are feminine probably because of
4 V4 ^'^ ^"<1 4 rirfi rock.
201. CaHS. — There are five cases ■ nominative, genitive, dative,
accusative, and vocative. The genitive denotes from aa well as of,
the dative denotes to or for and also by, with, on, in, at, etc. The
other cases are used as in Latin.
a. The genitive, dative, and accusative are called oblique cases to distin-
guiah them from the nominative and vocative.
202. The vocative is often like the nominative in the singular ; in
the plural it is always the same. Nominative, vocative, and accussr
tive have the same form in neuter words, and always have « ia the

plaial. In the dual there are two forms, one for nomioatiTe, accusor
tive, and Tocative, the other for genitive and dative.
203. Lott Caaea. — Greek has generally lost the formt of tbe inatnuneDtat
and locaUve cases (nbicb have become fused with tbe dative) and of tbe ablative.
The Greek dative is used to express by, as in pUf, Lat. vl; with, as in Ufcii vUh
itontt; and in, on, ae in yg on the earth. From may be exprrased by the geni-
tive : rtfpu ZwipTVf far fivm Sparta. Wlien the genitive snd dative do duty
for tti« ablative, prepositions are often used. InstanoeB of the forms of tbe
lost cases are given in 341.
3(M. Dedeniioaa. — There are three declensions, which are named
from the stems to which the case endings are attached.
1. Blest or A-declensioD, with stems in S 1 v„„„i tw.1ot.o;™
2. Second or Odeclension, with stems in o f ^°^°' i«cien8ion.
3. Third or Consonant declension, with stems in a consonant or in i

253. TuiKtion of Stem Foinutlon. — Maaj words of the third declension
■tiow tt«ceB of an original variation of stem that is due to the influence of a
shifting accent whlob IB aeen in some of the cognate languages. Id Greek this
varlatioD has often been obaoured by the analogy of other forms. Thos warfpur,
in conpariBon with Horn, rarp^r, Lat patrum, gets its < from raripii.
a. Variation of stem is seen in ar, er {269} ; i)p, cp, pa (262) ; qi, «r- (204) ;
in stems in •., « (2T0) ; u, n> (2T0) ; rv, i,ii (278) ; ot, u (279), etc. Words in uw,
^r show a middle form or, er, and a weak form in v (260 N.).
b. Several words ending in p show a parallel stem in r ; tbns, iisp wattr
(lar-M, ^TBp livtr frar-ot, ^p^ap (amt ippiiT-ot (but poet. M/iop le^^s Jd>u^-oi).
The reason for this change is nnceitain, but ar is derived from vt after a con-
sonant (36 b) : Afrroj, ^i-rot, cp. Lat. jecitiorU, nom. jtcur. fjrap fs prohably
derived from itrofrr (138).
c -arn was transferred from sacb genitives as driparat, Ifrarot to other nonter
words : yirarot from yin knee, instead ot yntf-ni, whence Horn. 'iovw6%. pQt
Ugkt, for 4An (stem ^aw-}, has token on the t inflection (0vr-jt, etc.).
d. Neuter stems in -<t show -at in tbe nominative. Cp. (rot gear (stem trta-')
with LMt. vtttu, veter-it (for cete*-f>).
394. Tariation of Qnantitr. —a- In poetry the qoantttf of i in words In
•a may differ from tJiat of prose ; as in tragedy Sptli bird, iMt dust, 9fii terpenf
(in proae 6pr!i, eirfj, K^It) ; so in Find. /xBEt (prose (xS*>) fi«h.
\>. ic^V herald, *oif!i Phoenician, pdrrli whip have long u and i in the

ritut occurs in Ionic). wOp fire has rfipji, wSpl, etc. (28S, 26).
259. Oender. — The gender of substantives of the third declension
is frequently known by the last letters of the stem.

Mcond century b.c. The flm nioe letteis stand tor unitB, the mcond niue for
lens, .the tiiird nine for hundreds (27 letters). In addition to the 24 letters of
the alphstiet, three obsolete signs are employed : r, a form Identical with ttie

a. In the classical period the following system was used according to the
Inscriptions: 1 = 1, [III = 4, f (Wrr.) = 6. Tl =6, A (i^«) = 10, AA = 20.
H iinarir) = 100, H H = 200, X = 1000, M = 10,000, [^ {rtrrim tfai)- = SO,
C'X (jtrriKa xtXtoi + X^t") = 6000.

356. ValCM.— There are three voices: active, middle, and pasBive.
a. nie middle naually denotes tbal the subject acta on hinuelf or for Aiot-
c. Deponent verba have an active meaning but odIj middle (or middle and
pmive) forvu. If Its aorist has the middle form, a deponent is called a mid-
dle deponent (x'P'itVUK gratif)/, ix^pviinit); If Its aorist has ttte passive form,
a deponent is called a psasive deponent {itKiulcpai rtjteet on, /MffilfiitATp).
DapoDenCa omallj prefer Uie paaslve to the middle forma of the aorisL
357. Mooda. — Four moods, the indicative, subjunctive, optative,
imperative, are called jlnfle, because the.person is defined by tJie end-
ii^ (366). The infinitive, atriotly a verbal noun (358), is sometimes
classed as a mood.
358. TertMl Hoona. — Verbal forms that share certain propertim
of Qoana are called verbal nouna. There are two kinds of verbal
noons.
1. Substantival: the infinitive.
N. — The infinitive Is propetlj a case form (chiefly dative, rarely looatlve),
hateiD being like a mbstantlve,
2. Adjectival (inflected like adjectives):
a. Participles : active, middle, and passive.
b. Verbal adjectives :
In -T^, denoting possibility, as ^tXtpoi lovable, or with the
force of a perfect passive participle, as -ypmrTos written.
Id -rent, denoting necessity, as yparrioi that must be written.
399. Tmsrs — There are seven tenses in t^e indicative: present,
Imperfect, future, aorist, perfect, pluperfect, and future perfect.
The future perfect commonly has a passive force, but it may bt.
active or middle in meaning (see 681).
The subjunctive has three tenses : present, aoiist, and perfect.
The optative aad inflnitive have five tenses : present, futuie, aorist,
perfect, and future perfect
The imperative has three tenses : present, aorist, and perfect.
3G0. Primary and Secondary Tenses. — There are two olasses of
tenses in the indicative : (1) Primary (or Principal) tenses, the pres.
ent and perfect expressing present time, the future and future per*
feet expressing future time; (2) Secondary (or Historical) tenses,
the imperfect, pluperfect, and aorist expresaing past time. The
sectndary tenses have an augment (428) prefixed.

108 VERBS: PRELIMINARY REMARKS [301
361. Second Aorlsta, etc. — Some verbs have tenses called »econd
aoristB (active, middle, ajid passive), second perfects and pluperfects
(active only), and second futures (passive). The meaning of these
tenses ordinarily corresponds to that of the first aorist, etc. ; but
when a verb has both forms in any tense (which is rarely the case),
the two forms usually differ in meaning. Sometimes one form is
poetical, the other used in prose.
362. No single Qreek verb shows all the tenses mentioned in
S59 and 361; and the paradigms are therefore taken from differ-
ent verbs.
363. Hnmber. — There are three numbers: the singular, dual, and
pluraL
364. Fersmi.' — There are three persons (first, second, and third)
in the indicative, subjunctive, and optative. The imperative has
only the second and third persons.
a. Except in » tett caBM Id poetry (406 c) the first person plural U used for
the fint peiBon dual.
365. Inflection. — The inflection of a verb consists in the addition
of certain endings to the different stems.
366. Endings. — The endings in the £nite moods (357) show
whether the subject is first, second, or third person; and indicate
number and voice. See 462 S.
a. The middle hu & dlOereDt set of endings from the active. Hie paaslTe
has th« endlnp ol the middle except In the aoriirt, which has the active eudlngi.
b. The indicative Iiaa two sets ol endings in the setlve and In the middle :
one for primary tenaes, the other for Beoondary tenses.
c. The BubjuDctive uses the same endings as the primary tenses of the Indica-
tive i the optative uses the same as those of the secondary tenses.
367. A Greek verb has two kinds of stems: (1) the tenae-atem, to
which the endings are attached, and (2) a common verfr-ateta
(^80 called theme) from which all the tense-stems are derived.
The tense-stem is usually made from the verb-stem by prefixixkg
a reduplication-ayUable ^439), and by aflixing signs for mood (457,
469) and tenae (455). k tens&^tem may be identical with a verb-
stem.
368. The Tenae^tcms. — The tenses fall into nine classes called
ten»*ytt«ma. Each tense-system has its own separate tenBe-fltem.

371. Teib-stem (or Theme). — The tense-stems are made from one
fundamental stem called the verb-stem (or tbeme).
lUs vecfo-atem may be a root (103) as in t1-» honour, or a root to which a
derivative aofllx has been appended, as in ri-iHi-u Aonour.
372. A verb forming its tense-Btems directly from a root is called
B.pTinitive verb. A dentyminative verb farms its tense-stems from a
longer Terb-atem, ori^nally a noun-atem ; as StniXow enslave from
IniAvt tHave. Verbs in ^u (379), and verbs in w of two syllables

373. The verb-Btem may show numerous modifications in fonn.
Thus, correBponding to Uib gmdations In ting, tang, tuny (SS), the verb
XcfT-w Uate showa the stems X«i^, Xoir- (2 perf. XZ-Xoir-s), Xir- (i tar. f-X(T-o-*};
tike verb ^f^-ujleeshovs^cvy- and pvy-(2tior. 1-^vy-a-r). lufi^miu brtak'we
And the three stanu^i^wY (2 perf. WifVa)! ^07(3 aor. pass, ippiyiir). otAA-w
•and haa the Menu ^tX- and traX- (perf. t-rrak-xa, 2 fut. pass, rrat^eiiai').
a. When the fandamental stem shows modiflcaUoiiH, it is ouatomary lot
convenience to call tts sborter (or shorteet) form the Terh-stem, and lo derive
tiie other fonna from it. Tbs student must, however, beware of aHBuming that
the short forma are older than the other forma.
374. The verb-atem may also show modifications in quantity, as
present XSt* loose, perfect Xi-Kv-xa.
N. — Various causes produce this vaiiation. \iu has v from analogjr to
Xfr^-u, (-Xv4a where tbe verb-etem \e has been regularly lengthened (6S4, 643).
For Attic ^Biru anticipate Horn, haa ^Mm for iptanfu (2B, 147 D.).
375. II Inflection and y* Inflection. — There are two slightly djf-
fereut methods of inflecting verbs, the first according to the common,
the second according to the )u system. The names at-verba and fu-
ver&A (a small class) refer to the ending of the first person singular
active of the present tense indicative only : Xv-u loose, rCBtj-fu place.
a. In the I* inflection the tense-stem ends in the tliema^c vowel. To this
form belong all futures, and the presents, imperfecta, and second aorists ihowtitg
the Utematie eowet.
376. According to the ending of the verb^tem, ov-verbs are termed :
1. Vowel (or pure) verbs ;
a. Xot contracted : those that end in v or 1, as \6tii loose, -wmUi^
educate, -jfjit-iai anoint. Such verbs retain the final vowel
of the stem unchanged in all their forms.
b. Contracted: those that end in a, c, o, as Tl/ii>> honour from
Tifia-<a, Toua make from itom-oi, &t]X5> manifest from S^XiT-ai.
2. Consonant verbs, as:
Liquid or nasal verbs : ^p-ajtay, /w-u remam.
Verbs ending in a stop (or mute), as ay-<a lead, m^ persuade.
N. — Verba ending in a stop consonant are called labial, dental, or palabd
verba. Consonant verbs do not retain the final consonant of the stem un-
changed in all their forms, Tbe final ccnaonant may be assltnllated to a td-
lowlng ooneonant, or may form with it a double consonant
377. Thematic VoveL — Some tense-stems end in a vowel which
varies between o and c (or » and ri) in certain forms. This is called
the thematic (or variaMe) vowel. Thus \6oim¥ Xit^n, Miwfur XAttc,
1= Coo^^lc

AiWficF AjWtc. The thematic vowel is written °/( <^^ Vn ^ '^/e'r
7pa^"/T- See 456.
378. • is used before ji or * in the indicative, and in the optative,
• before jt or * in the subjunctive, elsewhere i is used in the indica-
tive (i) in the subjunctive).
379l In the /u infiection no thematic vowel is employed, and the
eudii^ are attached directly to the tense-stem. The fu form is used
only in the present, imperfect, and second aorist. In the other
tenses, verbs in pi generally show the same inflection as o^verbs.
For further explanation of the u and the >u infiectiousee602fF., 717ff.
380. HeanlafB of the Tensu and Uooda. — In the synopsis (382)
meanings are given wherever these are not dependent on the use of
the various forma in the sentence. The meanings of the subjunctive
and optative forms and the difference between the tenses can be
learned satisfactorily only from the syntax. Some of these meanings
may here be given :
a. SabjancUve : Uw;wr OF Uru^f let Ui loo$e, (tin) Xtu or \tvu (if) / looft,
(Fm) ypi^ (ttist) Imag torfM.
b. Oirtative ; (OSt) XA«i^ or \iraiiu (would) that I may Jook I ^tl) Mo^r

PBRFBOT AND PLUPBRFBCT MIDDLE (AND PASSIVE)
403. In the perfect and pluperfect middle (and passive) of stems
eodiiig in a, consonant certain euphonic changes (409) occur upon
the addition of the personal endings.
404. Several verbs with stems ending in a short vowel retain
that vowel in the perfect (and in other tenses) ; such stems originally
ended in 17; as rtXi-at Jiniah, from rcXof end (rcXnr-). This tr appears
in the perfect middle stem (nrcXc-ir-fuu, rcrtXc-a-nu). In the second
Eirson singular and plural but one a is found : rtrikc-aai, rcriXt-irfft.
y analogy some other verbs have a cr at the end of the verbal stem.
405. In the perfect and pluperfect middle the third person plaral
of stems ending in a consouanl or of stems adding <r consists of the
perfect middle participle with turi are (in the perfect) and ^<nw were
(in the pluperfect).
406. Perfect and pluperfect middle and passive of Keiwat (Xa/w-')

CONJUGATION OF Ml-VEEBS
CONJUGATION OF |U-VERBS
CL3. The conjugation of /u-verba difEers from that of <»-verbs
only in the present, imperfect, and second aorist active and middle;
and (rarely) in the second perfect. The ^u forms are made by
adding the endings directly to the tense-stem without any thematic
vowel, except in the subjunctive of all verbs, aod in the optative of
verl» ending in -vu>u,
413. Verbs having second aorieta and second perfects of the
fu form are, aa a rule, u-verbs, not fii-verbs, in the present. Thus,
the second aorists : J^Sijv [Paiva go), iyvtav (yiyvaa-Kio ktlOV)); the
second perfect : riSvtLfLtv {Bv^vkui die).
414. There are two main classes of /u-verbs.
A. The root class. This class commonly ends in -ij-nu or -to-fiL
(from stems in «, o, or o). The present stem is usually reduplicated,
but may be the same as the verb-stem, which is a root.

ACCENT OF VEEBS
ACCENT
423. Simple or «ompound verbs usually throv the accent as far
back as the quautity of ^e last syllable permits (recessive accent, 169).
froMM, ivAiiar ; Irtt^, /rintr/iMr, aiiupitiu, rd^ffri.
<24. To this general rule there are exoeptioos.
■- ■acUtlc*. — All the fonuB of ^id lay, and ti/d am, except ^it and <t
b. ImperstlTM. — (1) Tha aecond person sing, of the aecond aorist uUve
imperative of five verba is ozytone : tlwi tay, AM come, tlipt find. Hi see, X^M
take. Their plorala sre accented tiairt, JXMti, etc.; compounds have reoeesive
accent : i^tiitc, drcMf, t^npi, wofiXafit.
(S) The second aorist middle (2 sing.) is peiispomeDon, as \apoO, rafioflaSaO,
C. Contracted Terba are only apparent exceptions : thus, e.g., rtfif for Ti/Uti,
I^Stfi for IiiXloMi, 0iXc?v for ^iX^ir So the subjunctive of the firat and sec-
oad aoriat passive \utii for \v6im, ^nriS for ^Ww ; the optatives XvBtinfw from
hM-i-iur, 3iJat;wrfrom Iii6-i-iiir; the futures ^ti3 for ipariii, ^nivifu for ^arioiiu,
turtir for ^wtttr, ^arSt for 4>ariar ; \iTtir for \aritr ; and the present and sec-
ond aorist active and middle aubjunctive of most /u-verbs, aa riffO for Ti$iit,
trr-u^oi, eO/iai, perf. uiriS^wi. On iiioiwi, Tiffeiiri, see 463 d.
N. 1. — In aUiematic optatives the accent does not recede beyond the diph-
thong containing -i-, the sign of the optative mood : Irrata, laTaliur, b^olro, Sc-
l*frg ; and ao In XvOttt^r, Xv0<hf.
N. 2. — Mmiuu am aUt, hrUrafuu understand, Kpt/ia/uu Jiang, iArtau profit,
and ^pu^F bought (749 b, 750 b, 757 a) have receaalve accent In the sabjunc-
live and optative ({(lovuu, Hiaraiiat, liratro, KpliiaiTii).
d. Poetic forms sometimes fail to follow the rule, aa iir being.
435. Inflnitivea, participles, and verbal adjectives are verbal nonns (S68),
and hence do not regolftrly show recea^ve acceut.
a. InflnltiTes. — The following inflnicivee accent the pennlt: all inflnlUvea
in -«, as XeXuWhi, Xvffqmi, lo-Tiimi, rrr^m (except Epic -ftnu, as rr^^umi) ;
ill verba in w the first aorist active, as \vriu, ruScuiru, the second aorist middle,
H XirArAu, the perfect (middle) passive, as 'KtMaBiu, rn-stlcGirAu, wttm^ffm.
N. — The present inf. of contracted verbs and the second aorist active Inf,
of H-verba h»ve the perispomenon b; 424 c.
b. PartictplM. — (I) Oxytone : the maacnline and neuter sing, of the second
aorist active, as Xii-iit, Xirir ; and of all participles of the third declension end-
ing in -« In the masculine (except the first aorist active), aa Xufcd XvSir, XtXiwth
XiXiFiJt, irrAi isTit, rtSefi rMr, SiBBit SiS6w, larii Irrir, ttucrtt BtutwCr (but
Urfit, roi^a-af). Also liir going from tl|u.
144 ACCENT OF VERBS [4*6
(S) F«roxjtone ; the perfect middle (passive) : \i\vpJm.
N. — Participles are accented like tuljectives, not like verbs. The fem.
and neuter noiti. accent the same ayllsble as the maac nam. if Ibe quantity of
the ultima permits, thus raiSriuy, raUMovra, raiifOot (not ralSniot) ; rw^ai,
*oilfff(iff>, roi^ac (not roliiaar) ; ^iXu*», ^tXaOfa, ^iXoOr (from ^iXfct).
c. Verbal Adjectives. — The verbal adjective in -rat is accented on the ultima
(\vt6i); that in -rcot on tlie penult (Xirr^t).
N. — Prepositional compounds in -tot denoting possibility generally aooeot
the last syllable and have thri« endings (2M), as iaiXurit dittolitbU, ittiprri-
removafile. Such compounds as have the force of a perfect passive participle
accent the antepenult and have two endings, as tidXwTti dimolved, i(alptT«t
choten. All other compounds la -rsf accent the antepenult and have two end.
ings, as ipam (mpatiobU, x'tf»^V^ arttfieial.
426. Ezceptlons to tlie recessive accent of compound rerta. — a. The accent
cannot precede the augment or reduplication ; St«i|u ant n&>rn(, iw^r uos abtna,
*Jr-9XMr the]/ tnUred, dr-^at they were abunt; i^-inrtu nrrlvrd (cp. rcroi).
N. — A long vowel or diphthong not changed by the augment receivea the
accent : vr~ttKt vxtt yielding (indlc. vr-clm, imper. ur-cm).
b. The accent cannot precede the last syllable of the prepoeittnn before the
simple verb nor move back to the first of two prepositions : rtpltct pul around,
cvriiOtt gite up together (not drtxam), (rir^jtiiflft put d"vni topeUmr (not g6y-
KoStt). Compounds of the second aorist active imperatives S61, h. Sit, and ex**
are thus paiozytone : tiriStt $et on, rtplStt put around, iwtaxtt hold on.
c. When compounded with a monosyllabic preposition, monosyllabic aecoDd
aorlat middle imperatives in -oi) from fu-verbs retain the circumflei: r^oStS
ittray, irfieO put in. Bat the accent recedes when these Imperatives pr^Bx a
dlssyUabto preposition ; drUou sell, EordAiu put down. The open forma alw^s

AUGMENT
43a The augment (increase) denotes past time. It appears only
ID the seoondary or past tenses of the indicative mood, namely, im-
perfect, aorist, and pluperfect. The augment has two forms, the
syllabic and the temporaL
429. SylUblc Augment. — Verbs beginning with a oonsonant pre-
fix < as the augment, which thus increases the word by one syllable.
In the pluperfect c is prefixed to the reduplication.

be due to transference of quantity (34) irom^-fiyvr, ^feiyar, ^foput (cp, 43S).
435. Temporal Augment. — Verbs begmning with a vowel take the
temporal augment hy lengthening the initial vowel. The temporal
augment is so called because it usually increases the time required
to pronoimce the initial syllable. Diphthongs lengthen their first
vowel.

438. OmlMlon of the Angmant. — k. In Attic ti>gedy the Angroent fs some-
times omitted In cboiul poEaages, rarely ia Uie dialogue piirta (nieaseDgeiB'
apeeclieH), wliich are uearer akin to prose.
b. In xp^' (trom xp^ + 4') the augment is strictly annoceBBary, but is often
idAeA (tx^*) since tlie compoeieion of xp^' ^^■^ forgotten.
c In Homer and the lyric poets either the syllabic or the temporal augment
is oflen absent ; as ^ro and l^mro, p^r and fSiir, Ixor and tlxor. IterativeB
(496) in Horn, usually have no augment (^Ix'skow).
N. — In Homer the absence of the augment represents the usage of the parent
language, in which the augment was not necessarily added to mark past, time.
It is therefore erroneous, historically, to apeak of the omiatlon of the augment
in Homer.
i. In Herodotus tbe syllabic augment is omitted only in the case of pluper-
fects and itemtlves in axoF ; the temporal augment is generally preserved, but it
la always omitted In verba beginning with oi, au, », », oi, and in iyir^w, ite>Ju,
iRf7», (f>Ja>, iia, ipfUw, etc. ; in others it is omitted only in some forms (as d7B-
ftiu, lya, fXiu, ifpdai), and in Others it is variable (dry^Xu, irrw, ipx"- '■'-
tToiiai, it^ofuu} ; in cases of Attic rednplication the augment is never added.
HdL omits the augment for the reduplication in the above verlM.
REDUPLICATION
439. Beduplication ia the doubUng of the sound standing at the
beginning of & word. It is used in the perfect, pluperfect, and future
perfect tenses in all the moods, to denote completed action. It ia
sometimes found also in the present and second aorist.

441. An Initial aspirate is reduplicated by the correxponding smooth stop :
^»nj<* murder, rt-^Muxa ; Sta $acr(/tee, ri-eva. ; x'P*^" dawWi «-x*i»™«.
442. In all other cases the reduplication la formed like the augment
a. Verbs beginning with a short vuwel lengthen tiie vowel, as (701 lead, i)x" !

b. Verba beginning with two or more consonants (except a stop with a
llqiiid). a double consonant, and p simply prefix t. p ia here dnubled (op. 42(1 a).
4M D. RedupHcation (or the augment for the rednplication) Is generally
retained in Horn. Exceptions ate tpx^riu and (px«ta from (pyv shut, Aruya

444. Pluperfect — The pluperfect prefixes the syllabic augmeat c
to the leduplicated perfect beginning with a consonant; when the
perfect stem begins with a vowel the pluperfect retains the prefix of
the perfect

Ion. uid poet, trria) (rare in Att. prose). taiKa am like forms tific^.
445. Some verba beginning with a liquid or ;i take n instead of the redaplt-
cation; Xafi^nt (H^-) '"*«■ rf-^iJ**. rf-XijWwi, e^X^*i) ; ^yX^i* (^X") «Ma("

(rarely W-Xry/iai) ; |u(fw|uw receive a share, tUiiaptai it it fated, tt-napra with
rough breathing ; also the stems ip, pi| tay, rt-ptita, tl-^ini.
a. a\-i)t^ is from (r«-«X)j^a by 37 (cp. Hom. fWa^t for i-a\apar), dimprai
is from fft-ffiiapTm (cp. Hom. Iii/iopt). The other forms are probably atialuguea
of «nq^a.
446. Attic Kednpliutloa. — Some verba whose themes begin with
a, (, or o, followed bj a single consonant, reduplicate by repeating
the initial vowel and the consonant and by lengthening a and c to i},
D to <a. Thus iytipa collect, iyqytpiai, iy-^ytpfiai ; iytipm awaken,
444 b. D. Hdt has ttn (for Ihm), f-Sa, itiOia. ; Hom. has luBt, and ttufft.
445 D. Hom. i«Uw /ear stands for St-Bfu from i»-Sfo(j)a (cp. ifiot'). So
t»lS»un for J«-Jfou(a. For StlSitrt greeted we should read 3i)j«cTa with -f-reda-
pllcallon. Hdt has bXi^ijia and -XcXb^ivi. XAi)w<a> occurs in tragedy.
446 D. — In Hom. ' Attic ' reduplication Is even more frequent than In Attic ;
thus, Mt)J4it from tin eat, <pi)^*« have /alien, iptp^ino (without lengthening)
from iptlwa overthrow, ipupixarui from ip^u reach. Fur other poetical forma

POSITION OF AUGMENT AND REDUPLICATION IN OOMPOUND
449. In verbs compounded with a preposition, augment and redu-
plicatioQ stand between the prepositiou and the verb.
Thua, ivipfiilpti pa»» over, liwtp4fiamt, bTipp4prixa ; ilrpiWu Ihroa fnto, tlt^
a. Before i of the augment ix regains ita fuller form ^f (133 a), and tr and
rj' reappear in Iheii proper fonna which were modified in the present. Thus
lipiXkm throvi out, jf^^Uov, ixfiipXiiica ; iiifiiWu throw into, MpaWor; rvX-
X/yw collect, iriir^Xo'Bi', ffunlXoxB ; •fvpptrTu throiB together, ffuripptifia, tvrip-
fi^ ; «-iwnvii{)d pack together, irui^mia{Bt, irvrtirnnid^STir,
b. PrepodtloQS (except -ripi and tpi) drop their final vowel : dre^XXw throw
iiHiijr, ir-^PaWsr ; but rtpi^dXXu throw around, jTtpiipaWer, w/nfialru Utp for-
ward, rpoifi^r. But rpi maj contract with the augment (w/Htptiv).
490. But some verbs, which are not often used except as compounds, are
tnaled like nncompound verbs and tahe the augment before the preposition, as
JoffitfiiT' tat from tiihuuu, iiti9ipir set, eat from «in{U, ■i/i^ltira clothed from
i^ifptiriifU, itiStvSor (and (o^SJar) elepC from raStiSu, ^riffTd^iqr, V^^^'
from twlrrai'ai undertlaiid. hiiu forms 4*f«i and ij^lei. The simple verba occur
nuatly in poetry. But iroTmiu enjoy makes droXAauca, ^(rrdfid review ^raia.
441 D. Hom. has many reduplicated second aorists, as ri-rtStr from rtlSti
(ri#-) pertuade, HiXi/iiiv, Kt-K\iium from iVXn/iai command, X(-Xa0to0cu from
XaiMiH (Xo^) eteape the nottee of, n-^ij^o-Sai from 0cl3s/iiu (^3-) ipare, ip-ap»r
from ipaplcKa (ifi-) join, &p-opi>r from Spruiu aroute. The indicative forms may
take the syllabic aogmeat, as in i-rt-^paitr from ^piiu {tppaS-) tell. From
iritTu chUle and iptiat cheek come iji^sra* and Mnnt, and ipiKiutar.

TENSE-SUFFIXES, THEMATIC VOWEL, MOOD-SUFFIXES
455. Tense-Sufflxes. — The tense-sufBxea, which are added to the verb-stem
to form the teiise-steuis, consist of the thematic vowel and certain other letters.
No tense-snffixes arc added Co the verb-stem (I) in the second aorjat active

475. Variation In Quantity. — Many verbs of the first class (498 ff.)

aorist and second passive systems ; the corresponding strong grades,
a (oi), (V (ov), i; (cd), appear usually in the other systems (ot, ov, to, in
the second perfect).

VERB-STEM AND PRESENT STEM
496. From the verb-stem (or theme) the present atem is formed
in several ways. Alt verbs are arranged in the present system
acoording to the method of forming the present stem from the verb-
stem. Verba are named according to the last letter of the verb-stem
(376) : 1. Vowel Verbs, 2. Liquid Verbs (including liquids and
nasals), 3. Stop Verbs.
I. PRESENT SYSTEM
(PBE8&MT AMD IMPBBFECT ACTIVE AMD HEDDIiB)
497. The present stem is formed from the verb-stem in five dif-
ferent ways. There are, therefore, five classes of present stems.
The verb^tem is sometimes the present stem, but usually it is
strengthened in different ways. A sixth class consists of irregular
verbs, the present stem of which is not connected with the stem or
stems of other tenses.
FIRST OB SIMPLE CLASS
490. Presents of the Simple Glass are formed from the verb-stem
with or without the thematic vowel.
499. (I) Presents with the thematic vowel (<o-verb8). The pres-
ent stem is made by adding the thematic vowel %- to the verb-stem,
as Av-o, raihti-tii, vaii-fu, /liy-io, ■wtiB-w, iptvy-ai, and the denominative
verbs rifAa-ai, ^iXi-ta, ^aatkciio. For the personal endings, see 463 ff.
For the derivation of many of these verbs, see 522.
500. The final vowel ot the verb-etem is long in the present indicative, but
either long or short in the oUief tense-stems, of the followitiji verbs In -va or -ut,

sot. (II) Presents without the thematic vowel (ju-verbs). The
personal ending is added directly to the verb-stem, which is often
reduplicated. The verb-stem shows different vowel grades, strong
forms 17, 0) in the singular, weak forms < (a), o in the dual and plural.
Thus Ti-$jf-ni, Ti-$e-iuv; t-imj-iu for iri-imj-iu (^ ot-irro-fu), T-ara-iicv ;
81-Jtu-fu, Si-OO-fl*!'.

of the verbs in -ttu can be derived from -yua or -iiui. Since the future and
aorlM of verbs in -{iii might often seem to be derived from litems in i, x, ^^ i") '•
unoeitatnty arose as to these tenses: thus the future v^dfu (jii^y-att) from
Hpio ai^itu tlay (aipay-ua) was coufusad tn formation with ^vXd{w (^uXoc-fv),
and a present ff^rru was constructed like ^vXdrrtf. Similarly, Attic i^rdfm

ititinu was constructed.
III. LIQUID AND NASAL STEMS
517. (I) Presenta in -XXa are formed from verb-stems in X, to
which 1 is assimilated (110). Thus, AyyMMi aiinoujux (Ayytk-i/t),
ariXXm send (artX-iot).
ns. (It) Presents ia -ouho and -aipat are formed from rerb^tems
in tw and -op, the t, being thrown back to unite with the vowel of the
verb-stem (111). Thus, ^oivu sAow (ipav-tio), Avofuuva name {ivotmy-iflt),
X!^i(x» rejoice (jfop-jfii).

<fitT<u, IddIc inscriptioos toiVo-
533. The future stem is formed by adding the tense-siifftx -<t%- (tir%-

second aorists.
547. (I) Q-Vetba. — d-verbsmake the second aorist by adding ?£-to
the verl>6tem, which regularly ends in a consonant Verbs showing
rowel gradations (476) use the weak stem (otherwise there would b«

SM. (II) Hi-Verba. — The stem of the second aorist of /u-verbs is
the rerb^tem without any thematic vowel. In the indicative active
the strong form of the stem, which ends in a vowel, is regularly em-
ployed. The middle uses the weak stem form.
HC D. Horn, baa more second aorista than Attic, which favoured the fiist
aorisL Some derivative verbs have Homeric second aorists classed nnder Uiem
for convenience only, as mtr/u eound fiTuror; iwKdoiuu roar l/umr; ttTtr</4it
hate laroyor. These forms are derived from the pure verb-stem (48G d, 6G3).
547 D. Hom. often has no thematic vowel in the middle voice of u-verbs
{MiyMi* from i^ofui reneive). See 634, <tB8.

NOTB ON THS SECOND AORIBT AND SECOND PERFECT
554. a. The second aorist and the second perfect are nsually formed only
from primitive verbs (372). These tenses are formed by adding the peiBOnlLl
ending (Inclusive of tiie thematic or tense vowel) to the verb-stem without any
consonant lense-sulfix. Cp. (\ira-r with IXv-a-t, trpAwiir with tTpi^-d-i/r {rptwit
(Mrs), yt^fo^i-K with UXv-jc-a.
b. The second perfect and second aoilst passive are hiatorically older than
the corrBspondlng first perfect and first aorist.
c Tptrv turn is the only verb that has three first aorlsts and three seccmd
aorists (606).
d. Very few verba have both the second aorist active and the second aorist
panive. in cases where both occur, one form is rare, as Uvm* (once In poetry),
'r^r (r^rrw itrfite).
e. In the aame voice both ^)e first and the second aorist (or perfect) are rare,
■s l^faffB, f^AfF (^n> anlieipaU). When both occur, the first aorist (or
perfect) in often transitive, the second aoriat (or perfect) is InlranHitive (810);
u far^ffB I erected, i.e. made ttand, tarift I atood. In otlier cases one aorist
is used in prose, the other in poetry ; frttra, poet. triSar {wtl9u persuade); or

556. The first perfect is fonned from verb-stema endiiig in a
Towel, a liquid, or a dental stop (t, 8, 6).
557. Vowel Vertw. — Vowel verbs lengthen the final vowel (if
short) before -ku, as ri/ia-u honour Tt-rlfiij-Ka, ia-ai permit ad-m, irmi-ia
make wttniti-Ka, riAj/u {$t-, Oif) place Tt-Oij-Ko, Si.'&ufu (So-.&n-) give St-Sto-xo.
558. Thia appliea to verbs that add i (485). For verbs that retain a abort
final vowel, see 488. (Eicept a^ivn^ ("?«-) extinguUk, wliich has fir^^ca.)
559. Uqoid Vertw. — Many liquid verbs have no perfect or employ
the second perfect. Examples of t!ie regular formation are ^otW
(^v-) show, ire<ttayKa, iyyiXXat {AyyiK-) announce, ^yytA™.
a. Some liquid verbe drop » ; as titpma, titXum from Kplne (npir-') Judge,

VI. SECOND PERFECT SYSTEM
(second PERITECT AND PLCPEEITECT ACTIVE)
SO. The stem of the second perfect is formed by adding a to the
reduplicated verb-stem ; yi-yp^ift^ I haue uiritten (ypoi^).
562. The second perfect is almost always formed from stems end-
it^ in a liquid or a stop consonant, and not from rowel stems.
a. it^ma (iteiui hear) is for iKtiKo(_f)-a (dis^- = dni^, 48).
963. Verb-HtemH ahowing variation between short and long vowels (478)

iri^wa have appeared (bat r/^yta have ahovin), pt/yri/u (fiay-, ji'Tt-i tify-i 4'^'' c)
hrrtUc Ippt/yoL.
a- rfutfa em arcuttoned (^— rt-vfuS-a) has the Mrong form w (cp. ^fct
evftom, 123) ; Horn. ISw (Attic iSl^ aeObstom).
964. The second perfect has a, « when Uie verb-stem variea between a, «,
0 (4TS, 479) or i, «, « (477 a) : rpi^i-ta (rpt^, rpo^-, Tpa<^) nourish rirpoipa, Xefvw
(Xir-, JWiir-, Xaiir-) leave \i\am, rtlBu {rtS-, t«9-, iriii0-) persuade r4ratH IrtMt.
969. Similarly verbs with the variation u, at, av (470) should have su ; trot
this occuiB only in Epic efX^Xai/Ba (=Att. A^Xuffa); cp. A«i»(«)-7(>l«u. Other
verbs hare tu, as ^c^u JUe ri^irya.
566. After Attic reduplication (44A) the Bt«m of the eecond perfect bas Oio
weak form ; <iX«I^ (dXei^, dXi^) anoint dXiJXt^.
967. Apart from the variationB in 563-666 the vowel of the verlj-stem re-
mains onchanged: asY^^^o (,ypi^ write), k^kv^ (jcfrrru sloop, ajp-).
966. The meaning of the second perfect may differ from tliat of Che present ;
aa tfiriyopa am aieake from lytlfa wake up, aiainia grin from snlpa mBeep.
The Mcond perfect often has the force of a present ; as r^oiAi trutt (v/rtun
have persuaded). See 819.
969. Aspirated Second Perfects. — In many stems a final t oc ^
changes to ^ : a final k or y changes to x. (^ and x here imitate
verb-stems in <^ and ^i as rpt^, jpiWdi.)
MID. Horn, has several fortliH unknown to Attic : SiSeinra ISovr-i-u sound),

573. Second Perfects of the |u-fonn. — Some verbs add the endir^

the singular of the indicative.
Irrq/u («Ta-, (tti)-) »et, 2 perf. stem iifra- ; Ivra-iur, Irra-rt, irr&-vt, lat.

as Imjai. Tbese second perfects are enumerated in 704.
573. Stem Gradation. — Originally the second perfect was Inflected througb-
ont witbout any thematic vowel (cp. the perfect middle), but with stam-grv
dation : strong tormti in the singular, weak forms elsewbere. -a (1 singular) was
Introduced In part from the aorist and spread to the other persons. Corre-
sponding to the infiection of elSa (704) we expect ir/irgi0a, niirtifBa, rirntt,
irtritTtr, trtriBiKr, ■rtwrt, rerWan (from wiriSfri), Tracea of this mode of
inflection appear in Horn. yFyiTtir (from ycyjTttr, 35 b) yiyaiar from yiyam ;
ri'irroi>, ttKTiir, Umii from laum ; triwiBiut ; ni)uiiitt from i/J/uira ; rtrtuSt (for
rn-aPre = xftgert) from rixafBa (other examples 704, 705). So the maac. and
neut. participles have Che strong forms, the feminine bas the weak forms (fw/iv-
Kifa, iixiMtiiia, as tlSiiit, iSula).
VII. PERFECT MIDDLE SYSTEM
(PERFECT AND PLXJPBRPBCT MIDDLE AND PA88IVB, rUTUBK

STS. The stem of the perfect middle is in general the same as
that of the first perfect active as r^ards its vowel (557), the reten-
tion or expulsion of v (559 a), and metathesis (559 d).

rtiSH (»iS-, Til*-, irmfl-) perauads rirtia/iai irtirtla;i^r.
576. The vowel of the perfect middle sl«iii should show the weah form when
there is variation between t (ei, <i>) : o (oi, su) : a (i, v). The weak form In k

rvrMrafui {rvB-, wmt-) learn, poet. Irrv/tM hasten from vftu (iru-, tev-) urge.
977. The vowel of the present has often displaced the weak form, a* hi
TfrXc7;u' (,r\it-u wravK), XAci/i/ui (XcIt-w leOW), rirturiiai (wild-ti perSMOde),
ffnrvftw {^ty-m-ia yoke).
378. A final short vowel of the verb-stem is not lengthened in the verbs
given In 488 a. e is added (4S5) In many verbs. For metathesis see 492 \ for
Attic reduplication see 446.
S79. f is retained in endings not beginning with n, aa ^m (0ai^) sAote,
rl^rrtu, wilmtit. Before -^i, we have n in &i,Mii.iiai from i^tra (i^vr-) tharpen,
but OBoallj V is replaced b; r. On the iiiseiiion of r, see 48S.
sea Fotore Perfect — The stem of the future perfect is formed
by adding -a%- to the stem of the perfect middle. A vowel imme-
diately preceding -a%- is always long, though it may have been short
in the perfect middle.
\t-ti loote, X«X*-ffo>Mi / shall have been loosed (pert. mid. XAC-fioi), ti-m

581. The future perfect nmisJIj' has a passive force. The active meaning is
found where llie perfect middle or active has an active meaning (1046, 1947).
«<TVof«u thall poism (^nfirrviiat possess), MupdEotiai shall cry out (^nfxpiya

ber (fi^finr/iu remember), rrro^ofiai shall have ceased (r^av/ioi have ceased).
582- Not all verbs can form a fature perfect ; and few forms of tliis tense
occur outside of the indicative; Btauere\tHTir6utyvf Thuo. 7. 26 is the only sure
example of the participle in classical Greek. The infinitive iie)iriiataSai occun
in Horn, and Attic prose.
583. The periphraBtic conslruolion (601) of the perfect middle (passive)
participle with Iwiuu may be used for the future perfect, as t^tutiiint f<roiuu I

VIII. FIRST PASSIVE SYSTEM (OH PASSIVE)
(first AORIST and FIEST KUTaRB PASSIVE)
PIKBT AORIBT PA8SIVB
585. The stem of the first aorist passive is formed by adding -Ap
(or-tfi-) directly to the verb-atem: l-kv^w I was loosed, i-<ftdf^^ I
«HW shown ('paiyia, ^i^), i-&6-$7)-v I was given (fii^iofu. So-, Sto-).
L -9^ appears lii the indicative, imperative (except the third plunU), and
Intinitive ; -$€- itppears in the other moode. -0q- is found before a aingle oonso^
nant, -fit- before two consonants or a vowel except in tlie nom. neuter of tbe
participle.
SS6. The verb-stem agrees with that of the perfect middle herein:
a. Vowel verbs lengtlien tlie final vowel of the verb-atem, aa t(-tJ>ijj-^i,
^i»M|-#ij», On verbs whicli do not lengthen their final vowel, see 488.
b. Liquid stems of one syllable change « to a, as r^-ra-^iai, tri-ftir (rtlww

d. Primitive verbs showing in their stems a variation between r : ir and » : h
have, in the first aorUt passive, the short vowel. Thus, rlA^fu (ft-, A)-) irt^n,
m<4iu. (So-, S<a-) MWqr.
•. Final v is dropped in some verbs : Ki-tpi-imi, inplSriii. See 4S1.
f. The verb-stem may suffer metathesis : ffi-ffX^riiiai, i-^^Biir. See 492.
g. Sigma is often added : le-n/Xcixr-^uu, i-ti\tia-e^r. See 48».
587. Before & of the suffix, >■ and 0 become iff, k and y become
X (82 c) i T, &,$ become <t (83). i^ and x remain unaltered.

591. The second aorist passive agrees In form with the second aorist active
of fu-verbs ; cp. Intraositive tx^p^r rtjolced with larifr stood. The passive nse
WIS developed from the intransitive nse.
392. Primitive verbs showing In their stems t^ grades ■ : d : a have a.
Tbiu an I of a monoe;llabio verb-stem becomes a, as in rUn-w weaee twMtnit,

SECOND FUTURE PAS31VB
597. The stem of the second future passive is fonoed by adding

But many of the second futures appear only In poetry or In late Qreek, and some
Are found only in composition.
PERIPHRASTIC FORMS
899. Perfect — For the simple perfect and pluperfect periphrastic
forms are often used.
a. For the perfect or pluperfect active indicative the forms of the perfect
active participle and ilnl or ^r may be used : as XiXumii il/u for X/Xuno, JwXunit
<|r tor iXiXtKit. Ho /Se^^cdrcT ^aar for iffiffotfi^iturat {^Sia come to aid) ;
tC/d Tt^ijKi^i for t49j)kb I have plai-fil ; ytypa^iii 4*' tor Jytypdipf) I had written;
tiii<iy6t!it lir I had suffered. Such forms are more common In the pluperfect
and in general denote state rather than adion.
b. For the perfect active a perlpbraais of the aorist participle and tx^ I*
Hometimes used, CHpecially when a perfect active form vrith tnnsltlve meaning
is lacking ; as ffTifirfit lj£u / have placed (^ItrtiKa, intransitiva, etand). ipaaMt
tx" I have loved. So often because tlie aspirated {>erfect is not used, a« fxta
rapHai thou hait itirred up. Cp, kabeo with tiie perfect participle.

fect middle participle with iltl (Vi") ie used when a stem ending In a conBouant
would come In direct contact with the endloga -ptu, -pro. Bee 408,
f. The perfect subJunctiTe and optative middle are formed by the perfect
middle p*iticiple with iS or tXtir : XiXu^mi S, lliir,

FIRST CONJUQATION OR VERBS IN (1
608. Verba in -u have the thematic vowel -% (""/if-) between the
tense-stem and the personal eudiugs iti tlie present system. The
name " (o-conjugation," or "thematic conjugation," is applied to all
verbs which form the present and imperfect with the thematic vowel.
603. Inflected according to the lo-conjugation are all thematic
presents and imperfects ; those second aorists active and middle in
which the tense-stem ends with the thematic vowel ; all futures, all
first aorists active and middle ; and most perfects and pluperfects
active.
604. Certain tenses of verbs ending in -<u in the first person
present indicative active, or of deponent verba in which the personal
endings are preceded by the thematic vowel, are inflected without
the thematic vowel, herein agreeing with ^-verbs. These tenses
are: all aorists passive; all perfects and pluperfects middle and
passive; a few second perfects and pluperfects active; and those
second aorists active and middle in which the tense-stem does not
end with tbe thematic vowel. But all subjunctives are thematic.
184 O-CONJUGATION: VOWEL VERBS [605
MS. Verbs in -«> fall into two main classes, distinguished hy the
last letter of the rerb-atem :
1. Vowel verbs : a. Uncontracted verbs, b. Contracted verbs.
2. Consonant verbs : a. Liquid verbs, b. Stop (or mute) verbs.
K. Uitder 2 fall also (c) those verba whose Bteros ended in a- or ^ (^S^)-
606. Vowel Verba. — Vowel verbs UBually do not form second
aorists, second perfects, and second futures in the passive. A vowel
short in the present is commonly lengthened in the other tenses.
Vowel verba belong to the fii-st class of present stems (498-504 ; but
see 612).
607. Vowel VertM not contracted. — Vowel verbs not contracted have
verb-stems ending in f, v, or in a diphthong (at, a, av, tv, m).
(l) ieeiia eat, wptu tme, xpt" anoint, poet. Slw fear, rtu honour (600. 8);

are either denominaiivea, as part\t6w from ffafi\f6t ; or are due lo the analogy
of such denominattvefl, as ruStiw. tt<niuu taste is a primitive. Ma> run, riu

608. Some primitive vowel verbs In -lu, -uu (622) formed their present atein
by the aid of the sufBz i(_ji), which has been lost. DenominaUves In -<», ^k,
•o/ui regularly added the suffix, as puet, fiijtl-u am viroth from >ii]h-jh (ji^n-s
wrath), poet Saxpiu weep (idxpu tear), poet, ^iri-u beget from ^Iru-ju, fwAiu
am drwik, puriKtOu am king. Poet. SripUiiai, paarlu, li^la/iai, mjiclu, dxA^,
609. The stem of some of the uncontracted vowel verbs originally ended
to * or f (624).
610. Some verba with verb-stems In vowels form pteaeutB in -m (523), as
■Ik* drink, *«™ perish ; and in -ff.w (526).
611. Vowel Verba contracted. — Vowel verbs that contract have
verb-steras ending in u, c, o, nith some in S., -q, «>.
612. All contracted verba form their preiient stem by the help of the anfflx
j(»). and properly belong to llie ThinI Clasfl (622).
613. Some contracted verbs have verb-stems which orleinally ended In v
or f (624).

On the eliange of «, a of the verb-atem to d, >i In the second perfect, see 47S, 484.
Liquid verbs niih futures in -w do not form future perfects.
617. Monosyllabic verb-Htems containing t have a in tbe first perfect active,

621. Stop Verbs. — Many verb stems end ia a stop (or route) con-
Bonant.
The present is formed either from the simple verb-stem, as in rX^-« veave,
or by the addition of r or i (y) to the verb^tem, as in (SXirru (^Xo^) tnjure,
4iv\iTTiii (^uXan-ju) gwird. All lenses except tbe present and imperfect are
formed without the addition of t or ( to the verb^tem ; thus, /SXd^w from
p\afi-r-ai, ^Xdfui from ^uXai-ff-u.

INFLECTION OF ft-VERBS
635. Verbs vhich end in <u in the first person present indicative ao-
tive, and deponent verbs in which the personal endings are preceded by
the thematic vowel, have the following peculiarities of inflection :
a. The thematic vowel usnall; appears in all tenses except the perfect and
pluperfect middle (passive) and the aorist pasalTe (except in the sabjonctive).
These three tenses are inflected tike /u-verbs.
b. The present and future singular active end in -w, -cu, -« (403). The ending
-fu appears onlj in the optative.
C. The thematic vowel o unites in the Indicative with the ending -rrt, and
forms -cvirc (4a3d).
d. The third plnral active of past tenses ends tn -t.
e. The Imperative active has no personal ending In the second person aingn-
1^ except -4-1 In the first aorist.
f. Except in the perfect and pluperfect the middle endinga -av and -«o loM
r and contract with the final vowel of the tense-stem (486 a, b). In the (^>t«live
contraction cannot take place (Xil9i-(r)D, k6rai~{f)t).
g. The Infinitive active has -tit (for -t-tf) in the present, future, and second
aorist ; -c-rot in the perfect ; and -u in the aorist.
h. Active participles with stems in -otr- have the nominative maacnlino in -h>.
626. In 627-716 the method of inflection of all tu-verbs, both vowel
and consonant, is described. The examples are generally taken from
vowel verbs, but the statements hold true of oonsonant verbs.
Forms of oi-verba which are inflected according to the non-tbematdo
conjugation are included under the a>-rerb8.

707. IndicatiTS. — The perfect middle ie lafleotad ^y adding the primuy
middlo endings directly to the tense-stem, herein agreeing with the /u^ODJaga-
tion. The pluperfect adds the secondary middle endings. In vonel verbs the
brmulon Ib aimple, oh in XAi^;iu, tKt\6-iit)r. But in consonant verbs, the con-
sonant U the end of Che stem comes into collision with the consonant at the
1)^nning of the ending ; hence certain eaphonic changes described in 409.
The peiipbiastio form occurs in t^ 8 pi. and sometimes in the 3 dng, (690 d, e).

SECOND CONJUQATION OR VERBS IN HI
717. Verbs in -/u usually have do thematic vowel between the
teuse-Btem and the pereonai endingB in the present system (except
in the subjunctive). The name " fu-oon juration," or " non-thematic "
conjugation," is applied to all verbs which form the present and
imperfect without the thematic vowel.
71S. Of verbs ending in- -/u the following tenses are inflected
according to the ^u-conjugiition (except in the subjunctive) : all
non-thematic presents and imperfects ; all aorista passive ; all per-
fects and pluperfects middle; those second aorists active and middle
in which the tens&^tem does not end with the thematic vowel ; one
verb (jlimjiu) in the second perfect and pluperfect active.
719. Certain tenses of verbs ending in -/u in the first person pres-
ent indicative active, or in -pai in the present middle (and passive)
when not preceded by the thematic vowel, are inflected according
to the grconjugation. These tenses are : all futures, all first aorists
active and middle, most perfects and pluperfects active, and all sub-
junctives. Verbs in -vvut regularly inflect the subjunctive and the
optative according to tne at-conjugation. Furtberraore, the 2 sing.
ill the present and 2 and 3 sing, in the imperfect active of certain
verbs, and some other forma, follow the lo-conjugation (746).
72a Verbs in -fu add the endings directly either to the verb-stem
(here a root) or after the suffixes yvoi r^ Hence three classes are
to be distinguished.

generally used In Uie dual and plural and in the other moods.
a. The form in k rarely appears outside of the singular, chiefly In tlie 3 pL,
as (iwmr (— ftoraf), less froqueDtly In the 1 and 2 pi., as ISAtatur, -ar*.
b. That K was not a suffix but a part of an alternative root appears from *

to contr&ctioii of the thematic yonel with the weak Hiem-vonel. Thus 9&, etc,
from Wh, Mgi, Btji, Btufitr, etc. ; &, etc., from fu, hQt, luat ; Sa, etc., from iliu,
J*Bt, S^ ; «T(5, etc., from ^tAij, arfjii, etc., with e from ^ before a Towel. Cp. 882.
a. ^puljiqi' has ir^fuu with "/, In place of the final vowel of Qte stem

758. Second Aorlat Optative. — The forms o{ the optative of the second

don. Thus, hi the active i M^r (fc-Ii|-»)i cJ-"iii» (irTo-lif-i-), Seijuw (_ii-i-iur},
tour (S6-ie-r). The shorter forms are preferred in the dnal and pinral, and
poetry has only these ; prose admits either the longer or the shorter forms.
a. In the 2 pL cases of -of^t ( Mirrt) are more nnmerous than -ere ; but Qt^
usually lack metilcal warrant
b. Second aorists of stems in u lack the optative fn Attic.

the middle only, as oXXofuu Uap, 0ov>kOfMU with, koBt^/uu Bit, xct/uu tie.
eta.. Outside of the present some active verba show middle forms
especially in the future, as p^<muu, thaU go, ixovvofuu ah/xU hear (803) ;
and some verba exclusively or chiefly deponent show active forms
especially in the perfect, as yiyvofua become yiyova, fiaivopai rage
fUliipn, SUpKO/uu poet., 2 aor. I^kov, perf. StSupKo.
803. For the passive voice the middle forms sufiBced in most

PART III
FORMATION OF WORDS
822. Inflected words generally consist of two distinct parts : a
stem KQd an inflectional ending (191) :
iSiptur gift, stem Supo-, inflectional ending v;
Xvofttv we loose, stem \to-, jnflectionaL ending fuy.
a. The inflectional endinp of nouna and Terhs, and the lormation of Terb*]
tlems, have been treated under Inflection. Tbe formation of words, sadUcnaed
here, deals primBTily with the formation of noan-etems, of Terbal Btems derived
from nonns, and of compound words. Uninfected words (odverba, prepoai-
tiona, conjanctions, and particles) are mostlj of pronominal origin and obacore ;
(och adverbs as show case forma are mentioned In 341 fl.
823. Some Btems are identical with roots (root-ttems, 193) to which
only an inflectioim] ending, or no ending at all, has been added.
^«v-t ox, cow ^iS-i mouse £-> hog, toa
lU ome (stem it-) vai-i ihip 0U{ JIame (<f\ty-u bum)
Up wtid &ea>t(gen. frip-ii) &(• voice (stem 5t-) x'¥ Aand (gen. x'^p-i')
i\i^ thi^(_t^fw-T-atteal) ra6i foot (tteva rot-) x^<^'' frth (slem x*)'-)
BM. Most fitems are derived from roots by the addition of one oi
more formative aufQxes.
ii-fa-T gifl, stem iupa-, root Sw (^Si-tu-m ffivt), gniflx po-,
'ipaii-lta.T-ed-t KTibt, Item ^rpo/ifiarcv-, root ffio^, suffizee /mt and n.
a. Moot words are therefore built up from root, aoffli, and inflectional end-
ing by a ptooeaa of compoeitJon analogous to that seen In compounds (869 D.),
in irtitch tbe ouioB of the various elements yields an Idea ditlereut from that seen
in each of the parts.
825. A stem is primary if only one suffix is added to the root
(SvpcM') ; secondary, when more than one suffix is added to the root
{ypofir/iarw^).
826. There are two kinds of stems : nonn-stems (substantive and
adjective) and verb-stems.
837. Words containing a single stem are called simple words, aa
Avyv^ ^peecft; words containing two or more stems are called com-
pound words, aa Aoyo-y/xl^o-f ^eech-writer.

838. According to the chantoter of the suffix words are called:
a. PrimitiTe (or PrinMry) ; formed 1^ the addition of a suffix either
to a root or to a verb-stem to which a vowel, usually t, has been
added (486, 486).
Boot ypa^ ; ypi^-u turlte, tfa4^ wrOtitg, -rpa^-ti^ wrlUr, yfitH^
sonttthing teriUtn, yp^irinii line.
yeth-OMaytr-tlaftfi-ffBaibeeomt {iytriimr, yi^t^iMi.'): yht-rir* gat*-
tU, origin ; np-t (r/fHf bore^ : ript-^po-t gimlet, inttrununt for baring.
b, Deaomlnative (or Secondary) ; formed from a noun-stem (substan-
tire or adjective) or adverb.
ffoiiriMT-^ writer (stem ypaitiimr-, DOm. ypimid) ; tittup»*-Sft Aoppt-
lUM (stem tMovwr-, nom. •MaW') i imaa-rini jui^ee, itna^tn-t jitM (Ilcf
right); ^(X-Mi-i fliendlTi (^iXa-i dear); iouXi-w etwJam (J*SX«-i tlave);
ToXw^i ancient, of old date, from the adverb riXm long ago.
829. Suffixes forming primitive words are called primary suffixes }
suffixes forming denominative words are called secondary suffixes.
■. The distinction between primary and aecondarr snfBzes la not original
and is often neglecl«d. Thus, in Snrit terrible (^iti- fear), k la a primary mf-
fix i In ^nrnrit dark ("irot, 866. 11), It la aecondary. go Engllah -able Is both
primary (readable) and aecoDdary (companionable).
b. It is often difflcQlt to determine wbeUier a suffix is added to a Terty«tem «r
to a nonn-atem : Iaxu-p6t Uroag (l^x^' strength, laxi-u am Urong).
c. A primltiTe woid may be termed from a verty-stem which la ilaelf denoml-
natlve: rofiu-riff bowman from t^i6-u tkoot with the bow, derived from rif>-r
bow. A primitive may be formed with a aufflx derived from a denominative :
^Xey-upt-i burning (,t\fy-u bunt) with vpe from \iyo-p6-t (Xt7*-t) MhrOl.
i. A denominative often has no oorreepondlng prlmlUve ; someUmc* tha
latter has been lost, HOmetimea it was prMumed for the purpose of woid-forma-
tiOD by the imitative prooess always at work in the making of language, Tbos,
S4ii-r-*a-r bed, from Sc/i-n-r (lin-u buHd, eomtntet).
830. To determine the root all suffixes must be removed from the
stem until only that part remains which contains the fundamental
idea.
a. Hoet roots are soon-rDots or verb-roots ; bat originally a root waa nelthw
noun or verb (198). Soroe roots are pronominal, and exprete direction or poai-
tlon. Greek has many words whoee roots cannot be discovered. Hie form of
a root in Greek is not necessarily tiiat which Comparative Grammar sbowi ww
common to the cognate langnages.
b. Since the origin of many words, even with the help of the cognate lan>
goagea, is uncertain, we are often at a loes where to make the dividing ibia
between root and snfflz. Suffixes are often preceded by a vowel which may be
regarded as a part of the aofflx or aa an ezpanalon of the root (b; some soholan
re^rded aa a part of the root Itself).

8331 SnffizM. — A anffiz is a formatiTe element added to a root
(or to a stem) and standing between tlie root and the ending.
Saffixes limit or particularize the general meaning of the root; but
only in a few cases is the distinct meaning of the suffix known to us.
^ The origin of the Qreek mfflzes Is often obscore ; of those Inherited
from the parent language only Mone were employed to make new words ; otben
were formed by Greek Itself (productive saSxeE), From the analogy of the
modem languages we Inter that some saSxes were once Independent woida,
whicli, on beooming a part of a compound, lost their algniflcation. Thns 'hood,
•head in tMldhood, godhead are deriTed from Old Eng. 'hid,' Gothic 'haldns'
ekaraeter, nature; -ehip In tnenenhip, covrtthtp, comes from a lost word meaning
' sh^M ' ; -4 In friendly from Old Eng. ' lie ' body. So -AS^ meaning tmellia^
(Site) , as in iMtqt fragrant, acquired a range of meaning originally Inappropriate
to It by passing Into the general Idea of ' full of,' ■ like,' as in rMiiiqi grang
(nla), XoifuM^ peMtaential (Xai/iif), r^nidJirt iea^p4ike (v^). This sufOx la
distinct from -«Iifi having the form of, like (898 a).
CoDTRsely, many solBzea, themselven insignificant, acquired a definite meaiw
Ing by reaaou of the root with which they were associated. — Irrespective of Iti
meaning, <n« word may serve as a model for the creation of another word ; aa
tiarvatton, eonttellation, etc., are modelled on eontemplation, etc
b. Many dt«y11ahio safBxes, due to a combination of the Snal letter or
lettoia of the itam and an original monooyllablc suffix, adapt themselves to Inde-
pendent use. Cp. eoo-tinafore^o-inn because ot patrlot-im, -able In laughabls

834. OungM In ttans. — Various changes occur when a suffix is
added to a stem.
ju The flnal tdwbI of a stem Is contracted witb the initial vowel of a soffix :
i^lSur tmall tnake (D^i- + i>u>r from f^i-i). 80 when a consonant is dropped at
the end of a stem : aUa-io-i vtntrable (oJdiit reverence, stem uSiw-), ^a«iX«-i5
kingdom (fi<uri\ri-t king, stem piuriXef tor ^wrihcv, 43), drrc-ib-i rained (Avrv
cBj, stem d^f/r- for ivriu-, 43). Cp. 868. 2.
b. A long final vowel of a stem m^ be shortened before the Initial vowel of
a Buffli : Slxi-io-t jvtl, ifcir right, stem Sua-. (Properly SUoi is an old ca«e
form, 833 o, to which -0-1 is added.)
C A flnal Towel or diphthong may be dropped before the initial vowel of a
mUBx : amp-li uitdom (r*^> w(«e), rtfi-io-t honoured, coMtlji (riiii honour, stem
T(fu-), /3u'iX-M^ royal (/SiwiXed-f king), nUr-icA-f civic (voXfriri c((i«en, stem
<L The flnal letter or letteis of a consonant stem may be dropped : viat^po-aini
teapwanet, moderation (aii^pur temperate, stem iru^por-'), /uX-ijJpiar little aong
(fil\-at aong, /aXeff-), i\iie-iri-t genuine (dXijff^i -^1 trae). So apparently in tlie
case of a vowel st«m in ItarS-rvroi belonging to the matler (SeirxATiji),
e. The finai consonant of a etem undergoes regular euphonic change before
tbe initial consonant of a suffix ; p\in-iui glance (p\hr-w look), Juiw-riic a judge
()m5-T^, from Saii;u}udge, stem lucat-), rla^i-i faith (= iri0^t-i, from r(itf-«
perauade, stem n*-), WJii stgle (= \ty-irt-t, from X^-u gpeai).
(. Stems In * have an alternative in t (cp. trro-t, voc. Jm ; 220 b). This
t ofl«n appears in denominatives: alui-w dwell, oUi-Tip houte-tervant, oln-io-i
domesUe (aIio-i hotiie).
g. Derivatives of a stems may apparently show u in place of S ; as arpiirui-Tiit
Moldier (fTpariA army),'lra\iii-Tiit an Ilaliote, Greek inhabitant of Italy ('iroXia
Italg). See 843 a, M. Stems in a have i) in rl/iii-dt honoured (rifii), stem rlfii-).

POBMATION OP SDBSTANTIVEfl
83& Some enffixee have a special sigDificance ; of these the most
important are given in 839-856. But suffixes commonly used with
a special function (such as to denote agency, action, instrument, etc.)
are not restricted to this function. Only a few have one function,
as Ttpo to denote comparison.
a. The instrument may be viewed as the agent, as in ^(u-v-rifp hammer, lit.
tmaiher, fram fiai~a tmash. rpo (8(13. IS) may express the agent, iDSlmment,
or place. Suffixes Dsed to denote actions or abstract ideas often make concrete
words, as rpa^ nurture and nouriihrnent, iyyt\-la mettage (cp. Eng. dwell-
ing, elothlng). rapStttMt means ferry, ferri/-boal, ferryman'* fee. Words
originally denoting an agent have lost that meaning, as ro-r^p father (orig.
protector), and in many cases the original force is changed.
839. AOBNCV
a. The primary suffixes to, njp, rop, rpo, ev, denoting the agent or
doer of an action, are mascnliiie.

FORMATION OF WORDS i ADJECTIVES
FOBMATION OF ADJECTIVES
857, Adjectives are formed by the same sufBxes as are used in
substantives, the same formation producing in one case a substantive,
in another an adjective. Many words formed with certain suffixes
(lo, /Id, vo, pa, to) are used as adjectives or as abstract substantives
(usually feminine or neuter). Thus ^iXta friendly or friend»hip; so
trri^vo-^ croton {irri^ut encirde^ was originally an adjective. Many
sufiixes have no characteristic signification.
Adjectives are either primitive (from roots or verb-stems) or
denominative (from substantives or other adjectives). But this
distinction is often obliterated and difiScult to determine.
89a. The following are the chief adjectival suffixes:
1. o, K (nom. -o-t, -If or -a, -o-») : primary ; X#i»-i-j remaittinff (\ilr-a leow,
XiT-, \ttir-, Xoi»-), >tuK-6-1 bright (\i6trtru ihine, Xmic-jw).
S. la, iS : a common aufflz expressing that which pertains or belong* in any
way to a peraou or thing. By union with a preceding stem Towel we
have aw, (ID, out, 410, vu>.
Primary (rare) ; 47-10-* sacred (4701 eipiatlon) ; with a eomparatlre
force: AXXot other (dX-w-t alitit), itlrat middle (iLcS-io-t mediut, 113).
Secondary In riit^io-i toorthy, coitlj/ (ti^ii) honour) ; ^IX-um frimdlf
(^IXo-i dear) ; ipSso-i ste'p (ipSb^ ttraight) ; r\a6a'ur-i rich (rXoSrin
rieha, 116) ; a(«wo-i jutt (iJn-jj right, 834 h) ; oht-io-t domettic (oIjw-i
house, 834 f) ; rirp-io-j hereditary (war^p father, rarp-, 202) j piwftt-
i»-f roj/al (^BiriXc^ hlng) ; 0ipt-ui-t of gwnmtr (Sfpoi, Oeta 8tptr-) ;
a»o-w-[ venerable (cJJiii Ouime, Btem aJJ«c-, 260) ; 4p{ot hcroU («pifi
Aero, iipaf-, 267) ; iri)xi^-w-i a cubit lonff (_wflxv-t, 268). The femininee
are often abstract aubatantlves, aa ^iX-(d frieitdthlp.
a. The ending -au» has been transferred from 5 stems, as in xV^->»-'
of or from dry land (x*!"-"')- "^^ 'o"n i-OHit occurs ; S/nx^iuo-i
worth a drachma (trMx/ri). -<idi has become independent In drip-titi
manly (if^p)- On gentiles la -lai, see 844. 3,
b. Ionic ^io (nom, -iji'oi), properly from ateois In tu (iv), as Rom. ^^^'4-1*-*
brazen (pertaining to a ;^aXiKi^i brazier ■ Attic x<iX«oi, -oOi, see 6fi8. 4),
jSaffiXi^-to-t royal ; and trannferred in Ionic to other stenia, as In wAi/t-
iio-t warlike, dj^Bpui-^io-i human (Attic irBpiircio-t), drip-^i'a-f manlf.
8. fvr lor ^tvr (nom. -ex) forms denominative adjectives denoting /ulne** or
abundance (mostly poetic).
Ti/Lii-tii (Ti*i5») honoured, and by analogy SerSp-ittt woody (tirtpe-r
tree) ; x"*"'-*" graceful (xdpi-t), 8oX4<if urflj (i*Xo-t), and by analogy
ol/uT-^ii bloody {aXm, -ot-oi ftlood, 884 j), ix9v-i-tit full of fi*k.
«pu-i-tn chilling (<:p«-gt cfti'ii). Also In tipi-ta moiJdy (>dp<St, -tJrct).
4. m (nom. -co-t , -aCi, 290) forms denominative adjectives denoting moMriOI :
xptvtn, x/iOvaOi yolden (xpv'^' gold).

866. Denominative verbs &re formed tiom the st«m3 of noims
(substantives or adjectives). Verbs lacking such a noun-stem are
made on the model of the ordinary denominative verb. The prin-
cipal terminations are as follows :
1. -mm : derived chiefly from words with d BtemH (a few from worda of the aeoond
declenaon). Verbs In ->u denote to do, to be, or to have, that which ts
Bzpraned by the stem.
rZ^id-u lumovr (ri^i), stem Ti>u-), ifitfri-u brealefoM (ipwra-r brtak-

a Some cu-verbs from iir-Btems have older forms in -tlu (624 a).
S. ••• : chiefly derived from o-stems. Verbs in -du are usually f acUttve, denot-

868. Deaideratives express desire. Such verbs end in -mw, -wm, and
larely in -oh. Thus, nXc^iTia-iiui detire to wage war (rsX<;i^<d), draXXo^du wUh
to get rtd of (iXXdrrw exchange), ye\aartu leish to laugh (yt\du) ; rTpanrr^iu
vith to be general (ijTpariTViJi) ; ^riu wish to shed blood (^*oi murder).
a. Verbs In -uui and -aw are formed from substantives. Those In -veiu may
come from the future stem.
b. -law and -aw may denote a bodily affection : i^AiX/udw suffer from oph-
thalmia (6^a\iM), ffpvYx^'* ""t hoarse (fipayx^ hoarse). Some verbs io
-tjTTOJ (■.«*»■«) have a. similar meaning; tu^XiIt™ am blind (rw^Xii), and even
Xi»uiffffu am hungry (Xi^i hunger).
■7*1 FOEMATION OF WORDS: COMPOUND WORDS
COMPOUND WORDS
8G9. A compound Tord is formed by the union of two or more
parts ; as Aoyo-ypa^ot tgaeechFtoriler, St-ef-ojio^ outlet (lit. way out
through).
M. Compouikb of tliTee or more parts nsuolly foil into two aeparMe unlta ; u
^T;pax«-/ivo— fuxli battle of the froge-and-miee. Such compouuds are oommon
iDGomedyi aarrpri'e-Stm—riir-mrpyliratcalltfpenertioaofjuttiee.
b. In a compound word two or more membere are united under one accent ;
M in bliekbeny contratted witli blaclc berry. Mo«t compounds in Greek, an
inflected language, are genuine compounds, not mere nord^roups such as are
common In Englieli, nhlch ia for the most part devoid of Inflections.
c. Every compound contains a deflning part and a defined part The defining
part nsually }n«cedea : ri-Tux'}i fortunate, as opposed to iur-rtx^J unfiirturuUt.
Ttie parts of a compound stand In various syntactical relations lo each other, aa
that of adjective or attrihiitive genitive to a Rulmtantive, or that of adverb or
object to a verb, etc. Compounds may iLus be regarded as abbreviated forms of
syntax. Cp. 895 a, 897 N. 1.
FIHST PAHT OF A COMPOUND
87Q. The first part of a compound may be a noun-stem, a verb-
stem, a numeral, a preposition or adverb, or an inseparable prefix.
a. 'Hie DM ol stems in composition is a survival of a period in tlie history
of language in which inflections were not fully developed.
FIRST PART A H0UN-8TBH
Bn. Hiat Declension (H-stems).— The firat part may

h. end in a: Sus-^pd^o-t vriler of lavi-tpefchet (Slnr juttiee). Here a is
■nbetitnted for 5 of tbe stem by analogy to o-stems.
N. — Compounds of 7fl earth have ytu- (for ytit- by 34); as ytw-iiirp^t
sureejror (Innd-meamrer,* lurptu nwosure). Doric has liriUrni. Cp. 224 a.

B7B. Words one* begliiiiliig with p O' v. — When the second pan conslsia
of a word beginnini; with digamma, a preceding vowel is often not alided:
KOMo-tfrila (Epic) doing ill (lawr faxaiir,oi) from fipyo-r mork; lairt-tAlfl err»-
cent-ehaped (fiiii^ moon, fttSot shape) ; riiii-opn (later Tifwi^) avenging (ri^

cixui, -"x^) contract : iXitpnuxof holding an allotment of land («X4p*4 lot),
ToXi-oixoi protecting a rity (for roXi-o-oxoi)-
879. FlecUonal Compouida. — A compound whoae 8rat part la a caae
form, not a stem, is called a flectional compound (cp. iporltinan. kin^oli):
(1) nominative: Tptur-tal'BiKa thirteen; (2) genitive: Ai4ir-«oupot Diotntri
(tons of Zeus), 'BXXf)a"rorrai Hell«'» sea, Tlt\orir-w7)iroi (for ITiXMTor-rqtfat,

FIRST PART A VBRB4TEM
880. Some compounds have as their first part a verb-stem (cp.
brealcwater, pick-pocket, catch-penn;/). Such compoimds are usually
«5] FORMATION OF WOEDS: COMPCUITD WORDS 249
poedo adjectiTeB. The rerb^tem is usually trauBitive and bas the
Eonu that appears in the present or aorist.
881. Before a vowel the vurb-stem remains micbanged or drops a final
towel ; before a conuunant it adds i, o, ar i : ipift-avris eMeld-bearinfff iua-4.rBpi»-
m watt-AatiNf {juri~a), U-t-xt^ptS. (12Gd) holding of bands, Iruce, Xir-o-rrpnrli

(1 (r) : nr^I.-reXit saving the state (o^^), ^tf--ajrwu Craven, lit. throwing away
a ihieU (^tir-r-w), eiift^fwt (and SaK-i-evtioi) heartr^ating (^Sin-iMa'), VXc-c-o-l-
raXof leitk long train, lit. trailing tlie robe (cp. Ax-e-xiruv)
A. Th'» t Is the Towel added in many Terb-stemB (4&5).
FIRST PART A NUMERAL
8831 The first part of a compound is often a numeral: SiWom
biped, rpi-rcvt tripod {having three feet), TiBp^mrov /our-horse chariot,
tot-^Am' contest in Jive events.
FIRST PART A PREPOSITION OR ADVERB
884. A prepoaitioD or adverb is often the first part of a com-
pound : dotiSoi entrance, dn-o-^iTyoi Jtee from, €v^rv}(^ Aappy, &u-
iirtfTTos euer to be remembered.
». Except when the sabstantive is treated as a verbal (as In rfr-olM m-
tniiee,cp.*ta-iirai enter), prepositions are rarely compounded with subslaniivea.
Hob, rir-Sev\oi /tllaw-slave, ivo^iSavtoMt (= 4 Irri nn S.) under-teaeher ; also
iwi-\mnt tehitith.
b. The ordinary euphonic changes occur. Obserre that »p4 before may
«atnct witbaoretoau; rpotxii or rpoBxii hold be/ore (cp. 449 b). See 184 a.
c q ■ometimes is inserted after a preposition or talces the place of a final

I,A8T PART OF A COMPOUND
8Ml Componnd SsbtUntivM and AdJecdTea. — The last part of a
noun-compouud consists of a noun-stem or of a verb-stem with a
noun-Buffix.
8S7. Nouns beginniRft with I, <, 0 lengthen these vowels (1 and * to it, • to
w) imleas they are long by position. ffTpar-iiyit armg'leading, general (orparit,
Ayw), t6~-^rtfiatiiiUh fair wind (cv well, dvt^t), iir^^Xaali driving out of foreigner*
(ffvaii Aa4m), dr-dnifui nameletM (<i»-( Sniui), dr-iiifuiX« Uneiwn (dr-, i^Ut).
■. Some compounds of Atw Irad show a : Xox-dT^ captafn (Xix"' conipan|i).
b. By analogy to the compound the simple form sometimes asaumee » long
TDwel : 4Kfii«r<ra windy. Cp, 28 D.
c Lengthening rarely occurs when a preposition or riit precedes : »ur-Mf»rli
etMUpiraq/ (Sfinifu saiar), rar-'iyvpti general atBembly (^iyvpu = iyopi),
d. llie lengdiening In B8T is properly the result ol early contraction (rrpars

when the fiiM part at the compound ends in a oonaona&t, as Siw-^Xrr^ (for
l*#-aXfY^) en«I from dX^w care for.

891. Campcrand Verba. — Verbs can be compounded directly only by pretlz-
Ing a prepoaltion, as iriifi->idze^«i fight along toith.
M. A prepoaltloii (wp6-$Ma) derived Its name from this use as a preflz. Origl-
naOy all prepoaltlons were adverfas modifying the verb, and in Homer are partly
so naod. See 1888, 1639. Cp. upheave atfd heave «fi.

ACCENT OF COMPOUNDS
893. Compounds generally have recessive accent, as <t>*^A^iim
hving-honour (ri^ij). But there are many exceptions, e.g. —

894. Compounds in -oi (not •rsi or 'Koi) lonncd by tbe union of a noun 01
adverb and the Bt«ni of H tr&nidtive verb are :
«. oxytone, when they have a long penult and an active meaning: rr/»r-irTlt

MEAKINQ OF COMPOUNDS
895. Compound nouns (substantives and adjectives) are divided,
according to their meaning, into three main classeB : determtnatioe,
posaeesive, and prepoaitional-pkrase, compounds.
a. Tbe logical relation of the parts of compounds varies so greatly that boun-
dary-lines between the different classes are difficult to set up, and a complete
formal division is Imposaible. The poeU show a much wider range of usage
than the prose-wrltets.
896. Determinative Compounds. — In mostdeterminatirecompoands
the first part modifies or determines the second part: the modifier
stands first, the principal word second.
Thus by hand-work a particular kind of work is meant, as contrasted with
maehine-viork ; cp. apeech^wrHer and letUr-writer, race-horse and horte-raee.
a. The fli^t part may be an adjective, an adverb, a preposition, an inseparable
prefix, or, in a few cases, a substantive.
897. There are two kinds of determinative compounds.
(1) Descriptive dstermliuttve componnds. — The first part defines or ez>
plains the second part in the sense of an adjective or adverb. (This class U
less numerous than the second class.)
■Up^^toXh t^tptr eiCy, citadel (i'pi riXif), i^iMtouXai felloio-tlave (AfuO Sair-
\t6m, cp. S85. 4 a), d^f-Yont late-bom (i^ri ytwiiurM), xpa-ptv^-i forethoufkt.

nviot roty-fingered, xp"""*-***"!' goldtn-haired.
(2) Dependent deteTmlnatiTe compounds. — A substantive forming either
the flret or the second part stands in the sense of an oblique case (with or with'
□at a prepoBitioa) U> the other part.
Accusative: >ayo-^pi^Mi epeeeh-WTtter (Xfrvovt tpd^r), <rTpaT-^6i army-

Genitive ; aTpa.T6-rcSot camp {arpaTou -riiat ground on lehith an army U
encamped'). In dfii-Xiryai worthy of mention (Afwt X£7eu) the derinlng part
stauda second (869 c) and Is governed by ibe adjective part like a preposition
(cp. 899). Cp. ringnxitter, law-offlcer, jeet-book.
(Ablative): irriio-rinr^ thellering frum llf wind; cp. land-breeze, sea-breeze.
Dative: i»-4-*ot godlike (trot fcv) ; cp. churchgoer, blood-thirsty.

(tXKiative) : aUo-^riii born In the house (^tr oliy yrwiturtis'), iiot-ripot ieay-
fartr (879) ; cp. heart-sick.
5. 1. — The Greeks did not think of any actual case relation as existing In these
componods, and the case relation that exists ia purely logical. The same form
may be analysed in different ways, as <)yi\dy6piiir<ii ~ ipAini irSpiiwovi or = ^Xm
K. 2. — finch compounds may oEten be analysed by a preposition and a de-
pendent noon ; &4-)|i^TBt god-built (Jxi Tur BtQr ifDfrii).
898. PoaseMive Coropoands, — lu possessive compounds the first
part defines the second as in determinatives; but the whole com-
pound ia an adjective expressing a quality, with the idea of pos-
session understood. In most possessive compounds the idea of
having (Ix"*) ia to be supplied.
So, In English, redbreast is a bird having a red breast, tlie first part being an
attribute of the second.

DEFINITIONS
900. A aentence expresses a thought. Syntax (mWo^ arranging
together) shows how the different parts of speech and their different
iufleotional forms are employed to form sentences.
901. Sentences are either complete or incomplete (904).
902. EvetT complete sentence mnst contain two members ;
1. The Subject : the person or thing about which something is said.
2. The Predicate : what is sud about the subject.
Tbna, ri B4pet (Bob}.) frtXt^a (pred.) the tufitmer | came to an end T. S. 109,
fXfc (pred.) K^pvi (mbj.) a herald \ came 3. IIS.
903. Complete sentences are simple, compound, or complex. In
the timple sentence subject and predicate occur only once. A com-
pound sentence (2162) consists of two or more simple sentences coor-
dinated : ry S* vmpauf imptvorro Sti rav irf&bu, Kai Turtra^ipviTf ttwen
but on the next day they marched through the plain and Tiaaaphemet
iept/olknoing them X. A. 3. 4 18. A complex sentence (2173) consists
of a main sentence and one or more subordinate sentences r tnrar* 8«m
yi^pav BtafinXrttv, linrtaStv ivatfTot ivheneoer it mat necessary to croM a
bridge, every one made haste 3. 4. 20.
90t. Incomplete sentences consist of a single member only. Such
Kntences stand outside the structure of the sentence. The chief
classes of incomplete sentenoea are
k. luteijecUons, mch u d, ^, aiar, offui.
b. Anerentloufi which oerre sa a predicate to a aenUnoe spoken by another :

256 SYNTAX OF THE SIMPLE SENTENCE [905
903. True impersoaal verbs (932) have a grammalical subject in tbe petMoal
CDdlog ; but the real subject is properly an idea more or lens vogue thai in present
to the mind of the speaker. Similar in nature are inflaitivea used Id command*
(8013).
SYNTAX OF THE SIMPLE SENTENCE
906. The most simple form of seatence is the finite verb : hr^
he-ia, Xtya-fLcy we-aay, hrt-<r$t you-folloui.
Hare the subject is in tbe persoaal ending, tbe predicate in tbe verbal Btem.
No otber single word than a verb can of itaelf form a complete sentence.
907. The subject of a seoteDce is & substaiitive or oue of its
equivalents.
908. Bqairalents of the Substantive. —Tbe function of the substantive
ma; be assumed b; a pronoun, adjective (in masculine and feminine more fn>-
qnentlj with the article), numeral, participle, relative clause (ot tXif^&iicKT rir
roKittluw ra^i 4fTY<^^' tho^e of the erttmy aho were captured made (Ke aam
report X. A. 1. 7. 13) ; b; tbe article with an adverb (ol rjrt the men nf that dag),
or with the genitive (ni rfli rixvt the (nci"denM 0/ fortune, fortune (1299)); l^
a prepositional phrase (oI i/ufil rir Suipdrtr Socrates and hit foiloweri ; twl tUy*
a great port), a preposition with a numeral (t^iuyor ttpt dn-anwlovr abotU tight
hundred look to flight X. H. 6. 5. 10) ; by an Infinitive with or without the article
(1QS4, 2026); and by an; word or phrase viewed merely ss a thing (tA l/nU
Ih-ar -Kiyw, ri/w w&Xir Myw ithtn I Sag Fnu, / mean the State D. 18. SS). Cp.
ll&3g. (Farthermore, by a clause in a complex sentence, 21S9. 1.)
909. The predicate of a sentence is always a verb. The verb
may either stand alone, as in IIcptKX^ AiniXBc Perides departed; or
it may have certain modifiers, called comjAementa to the pivdieate
(nouns, participles, adverbs), as ItepiKX^v Ssr^XSt irpwroii Jlrat (ipyii,6-
fMKK in anger; ron then). Cp. 9M.
910. Predicate Nouna. — Kouns (substantival nr adjectival) are
often used as complements to the predicate. Thus,
■. A predicate substantive is a substantive forming part of the
predicate and asserting something of its substantive : IIcpiKX^ SP^
orpaTtjyoi Pericles was elected general, tlKta^ tuMvov vpttr^evr^ you
elected Aim envoy L. 13, 10.
b. A predicate adjective is an adjective forming part of the predicate
and asserting something of its substantive : u iyiip &iKai6t irm the man
i» juat, ivifiurav GtpiKkia tirro)^ they thmight I'ericles fortunate.
911. A predicate substantive or adjective may often be distinguished from
an attributive (012) in that tbe former implies some form of ctnu be. Thia.
rpwfifirrir and lirvx^ In 910. After verbs signifying to name or call, dru
is sometimes expressed (1016).
912. Attributive Adjecdve. — An attributive adjective is an adjec-
tive simply added to a noun to describe it, and not forming any part
of an assertion made about it : i Stkoiot dvijp the just^man.
im] appositivk, copula, object 257
913. All adjectivea that are not attributive are predicate. So irptfroi i^-
nrro lA«y loere lAt first to arrive (1042 b), roirif ^iXif xpSifuu I treat thi» man
lu a frltnd (= tlrm, ^ xfiviiai, ^l\oi /btI),
914. Uoder ndjecUves are included partlciplea: 6 lUSXur (atu-ib.) rAXifm
Iht future war, TaCra droit (pred.) dTtin* Maying tkit he went off, ipm »t
tftwrnrrt (pred.) 1 lee gou hiding.
915. Fredicate substantivea, adjectives, and participles, in agreement eitlier
with subject or object, are mora common in Greek ilian in Bnglish, and often
call for special sbifta in trnnelatiim : /uriiipoui iitubiuaar rat i^ulfai they lifted
the waffoM and carried them out X. A. 1. G. 8. Cp. 1S70.
OT6. Apposltive. — An appositive ia a noun added to another noun
or to a pronoun to describe or define it r MiArwSij; 5 crrporTyos Mil-
Uades, the general, J/uTs oi Icpcts you, the prieMx, touto, 5 aii etxts, iti
rafitari, "x^V '^''^< tohicti you visiilioned, ia alivaya i>reaeiit, (1 mean)
Ititttrt P. Th. 172 d.
817. CopnlA. — An indeterminate verb that serves simply to couple
a predicate substantive or adjective to the subject is called a cojnda:
Sov^f ^y 'A0tjyauri Xetiophon was an Athenian.
a. The moHt common copulative verbs are tint be and yl-iMir$M becnme.
Man; other verba serve as copulas; KaalvravBai bn-'ine, n^ui/m, irdpxuy, wtt^r
(poetical) be, iatiir seem, ^Ixtr^ai appear, rnXfiv-Sai, iraiiijlt^at, iimitit, rX^tr
(poetical) be en I/fd, rvyxitir, Kvpttr (poet.) hoppen, turn out, alpitrBat be chosen,
ro/iiitaSai be regarded, uptrareai be judged, and the Utie.
918. a. TTie copula is strictly the predicate or la a part of the predicate with
its Bupplemeota.
b. The above verbs may also be complete predicates : tari Btit there is a god.
C. For the oraission of the copula, see 944.
d. A predicate substantive or adjective stands in the same case as the subject
when coupled U> It by a copulative verb (ffS^).
e. For (li«i added to a copulative verb, see 1615.
9EL9. Object — A verb may have an object on which its action is
exerted. The object ia a substantive (or its equivalent, 908) in an
oblique case. An object may be direct (in the accusative) or indirea
(in the genitive or dative) : Kupw &ocr<i <f /ivSs (direct) rffl 8nii\^ (in-
direct) Cyrua will give six minae to the ^ve, IXapoy rrj^ (mvrp (iudirect)
Toy 'Opoyrav (direct) they took hold of Orontaa by the girdle X. A. 1.
6.10.
92a Transitive and Intransitive Verbs. — Verbs capable of taking
a direct object are called transitive because their action passes over
to an object Other verbs are called intransitive.
a. But many intransitive verba, as in English, ate used transitively (1658,
1559), and verbs usually transitive often take an indirect object (I34I S., 1460 ff.,
MTl fL).

tiODS, Comm&ndB, Wishes ; QuestiouB ; and Exclamations. Of these,
Assumptioiis, Commands, and Wishes express wUl. See 2163 S.
EXPANSION OF THE SIMPLE SENTENCE
922. The subject and the predicate may be expanded hy amplifi-
oation or qualifioatioa :
933. Expansion of Ute Snbjsct. — Tbe aubjact in»7 be expanded : A. Bj
tn^ificatiaa : E«rfii lal nSiriwr dr^^^ua-ai Xenioi and Paaion tailed aieof.
B. By qualification : 1. By an attributive adjective, i iyaSii iriip tht good man,
an attributive subatantive denoting occupation, amdition, or age, d>H)p rrparvtii
a captain (U66), an adjective pronoun or nanieral : ii/Jripet ^ot a fiiend of
ovri, Sit ToEiif tiBo children, 2. By tbe genitive of a noun or BUbdtiuitive pro-
noun (adnominal or attributive genitive): vTt^m xp^oS a ermaa of gold, t
wKT^p ifUir ovr father. 3. By a prepositional pbrase: iJAi utiI toC Y^Xi^w
a teaf down the hill. 4. By an adverb; ol tSr itSpwroi tbe men of the praent
day. 6. By an appositive (910). A subsUntive in any case may be qualified
like the mibjecl.
924. Sxpuulon of the Predicate. — The predicate may be expanded : A. By
ampHfieation .■ ol \axiyol di-^Xtfef (ol /rsfouf aurui the raptairts tUpaned and did
to. B. By q«alificatiiin .• 1. By the oblique case of a noun, a Hutwtanlive pro-
noun, or a numeral. Thia la called tbe object (9 IS, 9-JO). Thus : ipa rbr irtpa
I aet the man, ^yur^ iKniiMi I hear a voice, ilrcro t^ ^-fiiiin h/: fallmntd tht
guide, iy»r$ i^hsi he love* u», /^■^t tj)> iiixv he v>on the battle (ct^naie
accusative, 1687), tlw*a Sira I gave fen. The oblique case may be fulloved by
an adnominal genitive or a dative : ApS -woWoiit rSr voXItuIt / see mang of the
citiient. 2. By a preposition with its appropriate caae : jJXAot ^1 rat ffnrrdi
theywent to their tentt. 8. By an infinitive ; m\ri iri\8tir he wishe* to depart.
4. By a participle : Ap^fisi X^ur / will bi-gin mn tpeech. G. By an adverb or
adverbial expreaalon : rf Caru let him know leell, r^i fvirrii iXSt he tame during
the n{ght, ir^iiBt Tpiraiet he departed on the third dag (1012). Un <M>mplemenl*
to the predicate, see 000.
AQREEMENTi THE CONCORDS
925. There are three concords in simple setitences:
1. A finite verb threes with its subject in number and person
(949>
2. A word in apposition with another word agrees with it in case
(976).
3. An adjective agrees witli its substantive in gender, number, and
case (1020).
(For tbe concord of relative pronouns, see 2501.)
.oogic
ni] THE SUBJECT 259
926. Apparentviolationof the concords is to be explained either by
A. Conttnation according to sense, where the agreement is with the
n»i gender or number (e.g. 94tfa, 950-963, 958, 996, 997, 1013, 1044,
1050, 1055 a, 1058 b) ; or by
b. AUraclioa, when a word does not have its natural construction
because of the influence of some other word or words in its clause
{e.g. 1060 ff., 1239, 1978, 2465, 2502, 2522 ff.)- This principle
extends to moods and tenses (2183 ff.).
THE SUBJECT
927. The subject of a finite verb is in the nominative : Ki^ ifiaS
Ognu aiUed out.
928. The subject nominative may be replaced
a. By a prepoakional phrase in the accusative ; iii^iitUi* ta»' intarwit r< xai
t^arrn eoiuider individucUly and all togethtr T. T. &L

XH.1.2.20.
OMISSION OF THE SUBJECT
929. An unemphatio pronoun of the first or second person is
generally omitted : Xiyt tov vo/mv read the lato (spoken to the clerk
uf the court) D. 21. 8.
930. An empbUlc pronoun is generally expressed, as In eontraeie; ai pit
BiVi. M^Dv, iyi) t iwtiiu do thou vrait for him, biU I will depart S. Ph. 128.
Bnt often in poetry and Mmetlnies in prose tha pronoun Is expreHsed when no

ADJECTIVES
ICOB. Adjectives modify substantives (inclnding words need suh-
Btantively, d08), and substantive pronouns. Adjectives are either
attra>utive (912) or predicate (910).
1019. The eqaivftlents of an adjective are : a participle (ol rapiwra rgXiru
the tUiiem ako are present); a noun In appoHition (A^fiwrMnrf i fr^up Demot-
thene* the orator, i.e. not AtiimaSir^j i irrf»Ttrvii, ifuii nl 'ABifTaiai fou Mhe-

coinplez aentenoe : ri rtlxtvm, t 4' nh-Mi, olpabri (A«y captured the forirrts
which HNU there; cp. 2642.)
loao. Concorl — An adjective agrees with its substantive in
gender, number, and case. This holds true also of the article, ad-
jective pronouns, and participles : thus, A. Attributive: & Sucotat ir^

AOBEBUENT OF ATTBIBDTIVE ADJECTIVES
1030. An attributive adjective belonging to more than one sub-
stantive agrees with the nearest : r6v kojU)' itdyafav ^S^ Kot yvnum
ei&uuova etvai ^iffu the perfect man and woman are happy I maintain
P. G. 470e. In some cases it is repeated with each substantive
(often for emphasis) : tv aiofi.' i)^av koI ijiuxh" f*"' having one body and
one aout D. 19. 227.
1031. But occasionally the adjective agrees with the more Important mibetan-

Mwn and a half AttU obolt X. A. 1. G. 6.
1033. Of two adjectives with one substantive, one may stand in
closer relation to the substantive, while the other qualifies the ex-
pression thus formed : roAtt ipvhV f^r^'? ^ large deaerted-eity X. A.
1.6.4.
1033. If one substantive has several attributive adjectives, these
are sometimes added without a conjunction (by Asyndeton) : xpii
ipraa, ipi^aa, ypipva flesh of lambs, kids, sioine JC. A. 4. S. 31. This
is commoner in poetry, especially when the adjectives are descrip-
tive : lyxpi fipl$ii luya. tmPapor a spear heavy, huge, stoiU H 141,
1034. Two adjectives joined by nm' may form one combined notion
in English, which omits the conjunction. .So often with n>\ut to

COMPARATIVE
1066. The comparative expresses coatraet or oomparison. Thus,
itiircpot is riglu in coatrast to its opposite, Spurrtpot left. Cp. 1082 b.
Usually comparison is expressed, as d re nu ^ipov icell or ill T. 2. 35.
a. When the poaitive precedes, uaXKor alone may staud for the comparative ;

othenof the same class; ii/iSir i ytpalripot the elder {= eldest) o/tu X. C. 6. 1.6.
1097. The comparative is sometimes iised merely as an intensive
and does not differ essentially from the positive: toittiov KaTa&tarrtfiot
at a disadvantage with (inferior to) theae men D. 27. 2.
10G& For the use otftaXXoy instead of the comparative, and iiaXurra
iostead of the superlative, see 323. When either form can be used,
that 'with /loAAoi' or fiaXurra is more emphatic. Thucydides some-
times uses vXiov (tl), ro ■xkcov instead of /mAXot.
1069. The comparative degree may be followed by the genitive
(1431) or by rj than .* tro^iorcpot ifim or (ro^urcpM jj iyat wiser than I.
The genitive may precede or follow the comparative. With jj, the
persons or things compared usually stand in the same case, and
always so when they are connected by the same verb : ^tAu yap oi
ai paWor $ iopovi jftovs for I do not loee thee more than my own houae
E. Med. 327.

THE ARTICLE-ORIQIN AND DEVELOPMENT
1099. The article o, ij, to, was origiDally a demonstrative pronoun,
and as such supplied the place of the persona! pronoun of tne third
person. By gradual weakening it became the definite article. It
also served as a relative pronoun {1105}. (Cp. Germ, der, demonstra-
tive article and relative ; French le from tile.) o as a demon strati v*^
is still retained in part in Attic prose (1106), while the beginnings
of its use as the article are seen even in Homer (1102).
i, ^ T< IN HOMER
1100. In Homer i, ^, rd is nsually a demonstrative pronoun and
is used sulistantively or adjectively ; it also serves as the personal
pronoun of the third person: i)M to ^u/iofai but I marvel at this
S 655, Tov kaifi^pa iwurPoXav this proting brawler B 275, r^ S jyw

1101. In its tvbttantival use i either mnika a controst or recaUa the subject
(ilie ^uuphoric uiK). But with dWd, Si, a^ip the subject Is generalljr changed.
It »ft«n precedes aii explanalor; relative clause : rSn gl rvr ppvral ilai of tkose

1102. i, T], t6 olteu approaches to its later nee as the definite article or ia

1103. In Horn, i contragta two ohjects, indicates a change of person, or a
change of acUon on the part of the sane person. Attic i dfflnet.
1104. The transition from the demonstrative to the article la so gradual that
it is often impot«ible to distinguish between the two. Ordinarily Homer does
not use the article where it is required in Attic prose. The Epic use is adopted
in general by the lyric poets and in the lyric parts of tragedy. Even in tra^o
ilialogue the article Is less common than in prose. IldL has i Si and ht, 6 yip
forht.
6, ■^. t6 as a relative
1105. The denionstratire o, ^, to is used as a. relative pronoun in
}{omer only whon the antecedent ia definite (C]). that) : ro^ta 8" i^tva-
piit, ri oi vopt xo^Kiof 'Api;« he stripped off the arms that brazen Area

SYNTAX OF THE SIMPLE SENTENCE
THE ARTICLE AND A PREDICATE NOUN

from the subject ; nxAcLrat ij axporoAtt In inr 'AOipniwv xoXis the acrofo-

eUBSTANlIVE-MAKING POWBB OF THE ARTICLE
1153. The article has the pow^er to make substantival any vord
or words to which it is prefixed.
a. Adjaotivea : i <ro^ the wige man, ri tUowv jtufi'ce.
b. Participles (with indefinite force) : i ^uUucnt whoever un7Ja, the first

N. 1. — Such participial nouns appear in active, middle, and passive forms.
andadnutthedistinctionBof lense; ol ietXivntrit /alriiii those who ahall beteHliifj

H. 2. — Thncydides often substantivizea the neuter participle to form abetract
expressions : t^ r6\tui ri riitii^rot the dignity of the State 2. 63. Such parti-
cipial nouns denote an action regulated by time and circumstance. Contrast t6
Stit6t fear (in actual operation) 1.36 with tJ iAii (simply /eor In the abstract).
C. Preposition and case: ol iriT Hi T/Ay^T-aw thoM in potter, the goBernment

POSITION OF THE ARTICLE
jiUr^utive Position of the Article
IIM. A word or group of words standing between the article and
its noun, or immediately after the article if the noun, with or without
the article, precedes, is an attributive. IhuS, o <ro^o^ dvijp, o ivr]p 6
<ro^, or ^fi o aoifiot (cp. 1168).
11S9. Tbifl holds true eicept la the case of Buch poat-poaltive words as yi^r,
•If. yi, Ti, yip, 34, dI/uu, oSr, rolni* ; and Tit in Hdt. : rUt ni Mtprtiiit one of the
Prrsi'iiu 1. 8I>. In Attic, tIt intervenea only when an atlributWe followa the
article : tw> fiappipuw nrit Irwtur some of the barbarian caralri/ X. A. 2. 5. 32.
US6. Adjectives, participles, adverbs, and (generally) prepoaitions with
their cases, if preceded by the article, have attributiix pogition.
1137. (1) Commonly, aa in English, the article and the attributive precede
the noun : 6 tofiln irfjp the viae man. In this arrangement the emphnsia is on
the attributive. Thus, rg rpibrti itiiip^ on the Jlrtt day T. 3, 96, tr ry rpi toB
Xpirv in former timet B. 53. 12, rir ix rSlr 'EW^tunlt raii fiappipovt >I^Pay IS^r
aeeiag the terror int^red by the Oreela in the barbarians X. A. 1, 2. 18.
IISB. (2) Less often, the article and the attributive follow the nonn preceded
bj the article ; i ir>ip i s-o^t the wise man. Thus, ri sTpdrcu/ui tA tSp 'ABTiralur
the army of the Athenian* T, 8. 50, ir ti roptlf t% iiAxpt *rJ MXottof on the
jitumey at far as the sea X. A. 5. 1. 1. In this arrangement the emphasis is on
the DDon, as something definite or previously mentioned, and the attributive ia
added by way of explanation. So to^i xina -tBit xb>"«^ JtS^uri they tie up the
dog*, the tallage ones (I mean) X. A. 6. 8. 24.
1159. (3) Least often, the noun takes no article before it, when it would
have none if the attributive were dropped ; dwijp i a»<p6t the wise man (lit. a
vtan, I mean Me wite one). Thus, /uixo" raif rXiWi in the greater nvmber
ofbaUlet-T. 7. 11, vimiu iiit 8teis, ritaiu It itSpiiwoii roil d^aftiii I associate
jeich gi>d», I associate with good men X. M. 2. 1, 32. In this arrangement the
atiribotive is added by way of explanation ; as in the laat example : with men,
the good (I mean).
1160. A proper name, defining a preceding noun with the article, may itself
have the article : i lUcX^ i'A^ttfoAruit (his) brother Arethvsius D. 53. 10. Cp.
1142 c. Ad appositjve to a proper name has the article when it designates a
characleristic or something well known ; i Ti\uriira\a^i^n/H\iS7uun Solon of
ancient times mat a lover of the people Ar. Nnb. 1187, Jiafffwi- 4 M«7"p«*t Fasten,

when they refer to the chief word (usually the subject) of the sen-
tonoe or claase in which they atand.

1219. The direct refleiiveB are reguUr in prose If, In the same clause, the
pronoun refers emphatically to the subject and Is the direct object of the main verb :
iiiavrir (not i/ii) traiva I praise myielf. The usage of poetry is freer; rWm
ri iiiSMtaf 4 W i' mourn thee rather than myweV B. Hipp. 1409.
1220. The refieiivaB may retain or abandon their differentiating force.
Contrast the third Example in 1218 with wapiiogar a^t attain they turrcndered

1224. The use In 1222, 1228 generally occurs when there is a ccwtrau
between two persons, or when the speaker is not Chinking of himself to the
azclnaion of oUiers. Cp. 1974.
1335. Indirect Reflexives. — The reflexive pronouns are used indi-
rtdly when, in a dependent clause, they refer to the subject of the

SYNTAX OF THE SIMPLE SENTENCE
THE CASES
1279. Of the cases belon^ng to the Indo-European lacguage, Grreek
has lost the free use of three : instrumental, locative, and ablative.
A few of the forms of these cases have been preserved (341, 1449,
1535) ; the syntactical /wntrfioiis of the instrumental and locative
were taken over by the dative ; those of the ablative by the genitive.
The genitive and dative cases are therefore composite or mixed cases.
N. ^Tbe renBODB tbat led to the foruiatiou uf composUe caaas are either
(1) formal or (2) fanctional. Thus (!) x'^Pf '» '"'"' ila'- *n(i locj \iv«i
repreaenia the instr. \iyoit and tJie Inc. X^im ; in oonsonaatal Htenu both Abla-
tive and genitive ended in -at ; (2) verbs of ruling may take eilhur the dat. or
the loc, hence the latter case would be absorbed b; Uie formet ; furthermore
the use of prepositions especially wilb loo. and instr. naa atteadeu by a certain
indiflerence as regards the fonn of the case.
1280. Through the iufluence of one construction upon another it
often becomes impossible to mark off the later from the original
use of the genitive and dative. It must be remembered that since lan-
guid is a natural growth and Greek was spoken and written before
formal categories were set up by (iraminar, all the uses of the cases
cannot be apportioned with definitenesa.
1281. The cases fall into two main divisions. Gases of the Sub-
ject: nominative (and vocative). Cases of the Predicate: accusa-
tive, dative. The genitive may define either the subject (with nouns)
or the predicate (with verbs). On the nominative, see 938 £f,
1282. The content of a thought may b« expressed in different ways in dif-
ferent languages, Thux, rtlBm n, but persuadeo tibi (in classical Latin); and
even In the same language, the same verb may have varying consirucUons W
express difCerent shades of meaning.
VOCATIVE
1283. The vocative is used in exclamations and in direct address:
iZcv Kot 6toi oh Zeus and ye gods P. Pr. 310d, avOpiovt ray good fellow
X, C. 2. 2. 7, The vocative forms an incomplete sentence (904 d).
a. The vocative is never followed immediately by ti or yif.
1284. In ordinary conversation and public speeches, the polity w is uisaslly
added. Without w the vocative may express astonishment, juy, contempt, a
threat, or a warning, etc 1'hus duofeit A^xW i ^'v hear, Aachine»T D. 18.
lai. But this distinction is not always observed, though In general & has a
familiar tone which was unsuilcd to elevated poetry.
1385. The vocative is usually found in the interior of a sentence. At the
beginning it la emphatic. In prose 1^, in poetry u, may stand between the voca-
tive and an attributive or between an attributive and the vocative ; in i>ovtr)- ^
may be repeated for emphaais.
I9M] THE GENITIVE 318
1286. In bite poetiy a predicate adjective may be attracted into the vocatlv«:
SkfSM icdpt yinu bleited, oh boy, mayi»t (Aou bt Theocr. IT. 60. Cp. Uatutine

GENITIVE
1389. Tbe genitive most commODly limits the in»aiiing of sub-
Btantives, adjectives, and adverbs, less commonly that of verba.
Since the genitive has absorbed the ablative it includeB (1) th«
genitive proper, denoting the class to which a person or thing be-
longs, and (2) the ablatival genitive.
a. Tbe name genitive Is derived from ciuue genitivut, the eate of ortfftn,
tbe insdeqoate Latin translation ot yttucii wrOtit oate denoting the clatt.
THE GENITIVE PROPER WITH NOUNS
(ADNOMINAL GENITIVE)
1390: A substantive in the genitive limits the meaning of a sub-
stantive on which it depends.
1391. Tbe genitive limits for the time being the scope of tbe substantive on
which it depends by referring It to a particular class or description, or by regard-
ing tt as a part ot a whole. The genitive is akin in meaning to tlie adjective and
tn»y otten be translal«d by an epithet. Cp. rT/^aiot xp"'^'"' with xpwrouf ari-
^m, ^ipn raXti^u with i-aX^/iuit ^i0<it, tA (Spot rXiSfiou with t^ rSpoi T\t9pio.hr
(1035). But tbe use of the adjective Is not everywhere parallel to that ot tbe
genitive.
1393. In poetry a genitive is often used with ffia, litni, aSim might, etc,
intfead of the corresponding adjective : ^Iq Aio>i4S(at mighty Diomede E 781.
1293. In poetry Si/iaf form, tipa and rt^aX^ head, etc. , are used with a geni-
tive to expreas majestic or loved persons or objects : 'Ivfi^nit tipi S. Ant. 1.
1394. xp4f(a thing Is used in prose with a Renitive to express size, strength,
etc. : v^kcrfenfriSii rd^LroXii n xP^l''^ " '"T lifge mast of /lingers X. C. 2. 1. G.
Cp. 1828.

1295. The genitive with lubetantlves denotes in general a coonectioD or de-
pendence between twowotda. Hiis connection must often bedeUrmined (I) bj

caaeof the genitive of the divided whole (1306), and of pemoual pronouns (1186),

1296. Worda denoting number, especially nonierals or subetantlTea with
nuineraU, often agree in case with the limited word luHtead of standing in the
genitive : ipipot Hirirapa TdXon-n a tribute of four talent* T. 4. 57 (cp. IS2S),

GENITIVE WITH COMPOUND VERBS
13S3. Tlie genitive depends on the meaning of a, compound verb aa s whole
(1) if the almple verb takes the genitive without a preposition, as inrcintm
teithdrmn, rapaXkir releam, wapaxaptTt *i(>Tender(1392), i^UrSat de»irt (1349);
or (2) U the compound lias acquired through tlie preposition a Bignlflcation
difiereal from that of the simple verb nith the preposition : thus iwayrirra
rfi iknitplit despairing of freedom L. 2. 4t> cannot be expressed by yrirrtt
dxi t9t JXfufcpUi. But it is often difflcult to determine whether the genitive
depends on the compound verb as a whole or on the preposition contained in it
1383. A verb compounded with a preposition taking the dative or accusa-
tive may take the genitive by analogy of another compound verb wliose preposi-
tion requires the genitive : so iiifialntir Spui' to set foot on the boundarieB S.O. C.

Eilion without change in the aenae : rodi avij^idx'"" drorp^arrci T^i •ynil'itt

1407. The ^nilive of cause is used in exctnmatinns and is often preceded
by an interjection: ^S toS irSpit alai for the man I X.C. 3. 1,39, rflt T^xiTt mr
Qllttek! 2.3.3. In tragedy, the genitive of a pronoun or adjective after ttfiBt

1408. Allied to the genitive of cause is the genitive of purpose in toO with

OENITIVE WITH ADJECTIVES
1412. The genitive is used with many adjectives corresponding
in derivation or meaning to verbs taking the genitive.
1413. The adjective often borrows tlie construction with the genitive from
that of the corresponding verb ; but when the verb takes another case (aspecially
the accusative), or nhen there Is no verb corresponding to the adjective, the
adjective may govern tlie genitive to express possession, connection more or less
close, or by analogy. Many of the genitives in queslion may be classed as objec-
tive as well as partitive or ablatival. Rigid distinction between the undermen-
tioned classes must not be insisted on.

QENITiVE OF TiME AND PUVCE
1444. Time. — The genitive denotes the time within which, or a\
a certain point of which, an action takes place. As contrasted with
the accusative of time (1582), the genitive denotes a portion ot time.
Hence the genitive of time is partitive. Cp. rw pkv \aj>M»va 'ti i

DATIVE
1450. The Greek dative does duty for three cases: the dfttire
proper, and two lost cases, the instrumental and the locative.
388 SYNTAX OF THE SIMPLE SENTENCE [1451
A. The dative derives its name (4 Smxi, rrOrn, eanu dattnu) from th«
use with tilArai (1460).
1451. The dative is a necessary cainplement of a verb when the
information given b; the verb is incomplete vrithout the addition
of the idea expressed by the dative. Thus, Wtfenu lie obeys, calls for
the addition of an idea to complete the sense, as rots vo/mk the laics.
1452. The dative a^ a voluntary complement of a verb adds some-
thing unessential to the completion of an idea. Thus, airoU k
fiipfiofxn iir^XBov the barbarians departed — for them (to their ad-
vantage), liere belongs the dative of interest, 1474 If.
1493. Bat the boundaiy line between the oecesdary and the voluntary
complement ta not alivaya clearly markeii. When the idea of the actioa, niit
the object of the action, is empliatic, a verb, usually requiring a dative to com-
plete Its meaning, may be uaad alone, as rciBrrai he it obedient.
1454. With many tntransitlTe verba the dative is the sole complement.
With transitive verbe it is the indirect complement (dative of the irtdirecl or
remoter object, usually a person) ; that ia, It farther dednes the meaning of
a verb already defined In part by die accusative.
1455. Many verba so vary in meaning that they may take the dative either
alone or along with the accusative (sometimes the genitive). No rule* can be
given, and English usage is not always the same as Greek usage.
1456. The voice of ten determines the construction . Titua, rtUttr riti toper- :
laade tome one, rtlBtrBat rm to perruade oneself for some one (qbej/ tome one), <
ia\tittr rtfi raura roinr to order tome one to do Ihit, vapaiit\t6tv>ai rin ravn
TButf to exhort some one to do thia.
DATIVE PROPER
1457. The dative proper denotes that to or for which something
is or is done.
1456. It is either (1) used with single words (verbs, adjectives, and some-
times with adverbs and substantives) or (2) It serves to define an entire sentence ;
herein unlike the genitive and accusative, which usually modify single members
of & sentence. The connection between dative and verb Is leaa intimate than
tbM between genitive or accusative and verb.
1459. The dative proper is largely peisonal, and denotes the pemoo who is '-
teterested in or affected by the action ; and Incindea 1401-1473 as well as 1474 fl.
The dative proper Is not often useil with things ; when bo used there is onall;
peisoDiitcation or seml-penouiflcation.
THE DATIVE DBPEHDBNT ON A SINGLE WORD

verbs that are usually transitive in English. Such are

1488. Dative of the Agent — With passive verbs (usually in the
perfect and pluperfect) and regularly with verbal adjectives in -to;
and -T«of, the person in whose interest an action is done, is put in
the dative. The notion of agency does not belong to the dative, but
it is a natural inference that the person interested is the ^ent.

1489. The usual rpstrlction of the dative to teuses of completed action seems
to be due to the fact that the agent Is represented as placed in the poeilion of

Tiewing an &lread; oompleted acUon in tbe ligbt of ita relation to hhiiOTif (inter-
est, advajiuge, poBsession).

iapSrro the shipe were not seen bi/ (were invisible to) tA« Corej/raeatu T. 1. 51 ;
present, T, 4, 64, 100 ; aorial T, 2. 7.
1491. The person bi/ whom (not for whom) an action is explicitly
said to be done, is put in the genitive with inr6 (1698. 1. b).
1492. The dative of the personal agent is used (1) when the subject is
impersonal, the verb being transitive or intransitive, (2) when the subject is
personal and the person is treated as a thing in order to express scorn (twice
only in the oratora : D. 10. 247, 67. 10).
1493. 6r6 with the genitive of the personal agent is used (1) when tbe iiub-
ject is a person, a city, a country, or is otherwise quasi -personal, (2) when the
verb is inti-anaitive even if the SLibject is a thing, as rut reixwr inri tu> ftapfiipur
tatTiatiruir the Kails having been destroyed by the barbarians Aes. 2. 172, (3) in
a few cases with au impersonal subject, usually for the sake of emphasis, as

neighbours la. 3. 13.
a. nKoaeai, ip-ri^Bu to be eoaquered may be followed by the dative of a
person, by Inr6 rtwt, or by the genitive (1402).
1494. When the agent Is a thing, not a person, the dative is commonly
used whether the subject Is personal or impersonal. If the subject la pemonal,
iri may be used ; in which case the inanimate agent is peiaonified (see 1698.
l.N. 1). I)r6 Is rarely used when the subject Is impersonal. !ix6 ia never uaed
with tbe impersonal perfect passive of an Intransitive verb.
DATIVE OF RELATION
1495. The dative may be used of a person to whose case the
statement of the predicate is limited.

1499] THE DATTTB 845
1497. The dative participle, without a noun or prononn, is fre-
qaeatl; used in the singular or plural to denote indefinitely the per-
son judging or observing. This constmction is most common with
participles of verbs of coming or going and with participles of verbs
of considering.

T«rbs belonging nnder 1497.
1498. D&tlve of the Partldple expreMing Time. — In expressions
of time a participle is often used with the dative of the person
interested in the action of the subject, and especially to express the
time that has passed since an action has occurred (cp. " and this is
the sixth month with her, who was called barren" St Luke i. 36).

with the foregoing verbs, take the dative to define their meaning.

INSTRUMENTAL DATIVE
1503. The Greet dative, a.i the representative of the lo8t JDStra-
mental case, denotes that by which or with whick an action is done
or accompanied. It is of two kinds: (1) The instrumental dative
proper ; (2) The comitative dative.
1504. When iJie idea denoted by the noun In the dative is the fnstmmeHt or
jiieant, it falla under (1) ; if it is a person (not regarded as the instruinent
or means) or any other living being, or a thing regarded as a person. It belongs
under (2) ; it an action, under (2).
1505. Abstract substantives with or witbont an attributive often stand in
the instrumental dative instead of the cognate accusative (1677).

express place and time.
•. On the iDBtnimental dative o[ space and time, see 1626.

b. Place whfther (limit of motion) : milif win fell on the growiA E 82, oKt^

1532. After verbs of motion the dative, ae distinguiBhed from the locative,
denotes direction toiatrds and la used of persons (1486), and is a form of the
dative of interest
1533. Many verbs capable of taking the locative dative in poetry, require,
in prose, the aid of a prepoHitlon in composition. The limit of motion is usually
{168B) ezprened by the accusative with a preposition (e.£r. tit, rp6<).
1534. In prose the dative of place (chiefi; place where) is used only of
proper names: nidiiT at Pj/tho, 'laBiiot at thf: Mhiaus, SaXafuR at Salamlt,
'OXcfiTlui at Olf/it^ia, 'A04npri at Athent (inacr.); especially with the names
of AUiC demes, as ^nXifpai, eopimt, MnpaeuH. But jt Mapa^ulR and it JIXo-

1335. Many adverbs are genuine locatives, as ofiw, rdXai, rarjiifiiZ, feX^poT ;
'AH"t"i nXaTatSo-i ; others are datives in form, as crlcXy, nXoraiBii.

a. Onlj when stress is not laid on the idea of supremacy is the dative,
instead of the genitive (1370), used with verbs of ruling.
1938. It is not clear whether the dative with verbs of ruling is a daUve
proper (/nr), a locative (_ainoag ; cp. it 4ali|{iv imaiit ir62), or an instrumental
(fiy). ipx'", if/'i'iai may lake the dative proper, iriariit, jSoviXnicip, iqurcir
may take the locative daiive.
1539. Dative of Time. — The dative without a preposition is com-
monly used to denote a definite point of time (chieSy day, niyht,
mojUh, year, seaaoti) at which an action occurred. The dative contrasts
one point of time with another, and is usually accompanied by an
attributive.

ISM. Many compouDd verbs take the dative because of their
meaQing as a whole. So AvTi)(ttv hold out against, dp^urjSnrctv dispute

1545. The dative is used with verbs compounded with <n5c (regu-
larly), with luaay compounded with iv, iwi, and with Bonie com-
ponoded with impa, rcpi, wp6s, and vn-o, because the preposition keeps
a. sense that requires the dative.

ACCUSATIVE
ISSL The accusative is a form of defining or qualifying the verb.
a The accusative derives its name from a mislnui elation (casus aeeusa-
tinu) of the Greek (* b/tioth:^ iTaiii, properly casus effectivus, 1564 a).
1552. A noun stands in Uie accusative when the idea it expresses Is most
( ! '■K)^[i:
854 SYNTAX OF THE SIMPLE SENTENCE [ijSS
ImtDedlnUl)' (in oontraat to the dative) and most completely (in conlnwt to
the genitive) under tlie iafluence of the verbal conceptloD (in contrast to the
nomlDative).
1553. The accusative ia the case of the direct object (919). The
acGQsative is used with all transitive verbs (and witn some intransi-
tive verba used transitively), with some verbal nouns, and with
adjectives.
1554. The direct object is of two kinds :
a. The internal object (object effected): i iivifp rarm ««AX&(
•wXifyat Ike man strikes many blows.
N, 1. — Mere tbe object ie already contained (or implied) In the verb, and iu
addition ia optional. Tbe accusative ot tbe internal object is aometimes called
tbe accusative of content. The object stands In apposition to tbe result of tbe
verbal action. The effect produced by the verb is either (1) transient, when tbe
object is a nomen acttonii, and disappeais with the operation of tbe verb, aa In
/cdxT' ^x"'" to figftt a baau, or (2) permanent, and remaine aft«r the verbal
action lias ceased, as in rtlxot rtix't^tr to bufld a wall. The latter form la the
accusative of result (1578).
N. 2. — Almost any verb may take one of the vsriettea of tbe internal object.
b. The external object (^object affected): o av^p rihmt t6v
vaiBa the man ttrikei the hoy.
N. — Here the object is not oontaiued in tbe verb, but is neoesaary to explain
or define tbe character of the action in question. The external object standa
outside tbe verliai action.
1959. Many verbs may take an accusative either ol the external or of the
internal object : rinwar tXijr felt Umber, riiiMa rdi rplxet Cut off (A« hair,
Tifinir 6B6r open a Toad, but arorSat or Spina riitmr, with a specialized verbal
Idea, to make a treaty by tdaying a victim (pass. Hfinia /tm4^)i riii-rtir iSir makr

yunlitat, itX. A. Victorious ta tehat victory t This I would learn of thte.
B. Oeer all women. Here tbe constmctlon ehifCs from tbe internal to the exter-
nal object.
1596. The direct object of an active transitive verb becomes the
subject of the passive : o mus vn-o tov dvSpos rvrrcroi the boy ia atmek
by tiie vian.
a. Tbe object of a verb governing tbe genitive or dative as piineipal object
may also become the subject of tbe passive (1340).
1597. In Greek many verba are transiUve the ordinary English eqnivaleola
of which are intransitive and require a preposition. So nur&p rt, alyir n to keep
silence about something.
15SB. Many verba that are usually intransitive are alao need transitlTdy in
Greek. Tlma, Avt^lr sin against, itiaxtpalttit be disgusted at, x*^* T^oitt at,
^ta0ai be pleated ai, Sanftiir weep for, Cp. 1696 b.

FREE USES OF THE ACCUSATIVE
ACCUSATIVE OF EESPECT
1600. To verbs denotiag a state, and to adjectives, an acousfttivp
may be added to denote a thing 111 resped to whicA the verb or
adjective is limited.
a. The accusative uiuaHy expresses a local relation or the instmnient. Thr
word reatricted by the accusative usually denotes like or limilar to, good or
better, bad or vioree, a physical or a menial quality, or an emotion,
1601. The accusative of respect is employed
a. Of the parts of the body : i iiSpiiirot rir id«TiyXo» iXYif the man A<m a

1603. For the mccumUvb of respect the inHtnimental datlre (1616) ia also
employed, and also the prepoalUons eli, at-ri, rpit, e.g. iia4>if*t* if*r% or Ot
iftriP.
1604. Not to be cocfiued with the BccusatlTe of respect Is the accuBaUve
after intransitive adjectives (1606) or after the pssives of 1S32.
1605. The accusative of respect ia probably in its origin, at least in part, on
MGUsative of the internal object.
ADVERBIAL ACC08ATIVB
1607. Host of these adverbial accusatives are accusatives of the internal
nbject ; thus, In rAoi Si tlwt but at loM he said, tAm is to be regarded as
standing in apposition to an uneipreased object of the verb — loordi, which tMr«
Me end. Many adverbial accusatives are Uius accusatives in apposition (991)
ind some are accusatives of respect (1600). It is impossible to apportion all
cases among the varieties of the accusatives ; many may be placed under differ-
ent heads. The use of adjectives as adverbs l^/Uya rXairms very rich) Is often
derived from the cognate accusative with verbs (^o •■Xoi/T«r»),

PREPOSITIONS
1636. Prepositions define the relations of a substantival notion
to the predicate.
«. All pTspoBitions seem to have been adverbs originally and nostiy ad-
Yerfas of place ; as adverbs they are case-forms. Several are localives, as rtpl.
1637. Tbe prepositions express primarily notions of space, then notions of
lime, and Anally ara used In tlguraiive rulations to denote cause, agency, means,
nuuiner, etc. Attic often differs frnm the Epic in using the prepositions to
denote metaphorical relations. Tbe prepositions deflns the character of tbe
veibal action and set fortb the relations of an oblique case to the predicate with
greater predion than U possible for the cases without a preposition. Thus,
lunt Si iiniaT^iP fiiri he ipake among the suitors p 467 specifies tbe meaning
oith gmt«r certainty than ^nj^r^fiiriB Icivi. So i 'EXXi^wv #i^t may mean
the fear felt bf the Greeks or the fear caused bg the Greeks; but with if or rapi
(cp. X. A. 1,2. IB, Lye. 130) the Utter meaning is stated unequivocally. The use
of a prepOMtion often serves to show how a construction with a compoeita
case (1270) is to be r^^arded (genitive or ablative ; dative, instrumental, ot
locative).
1638. Derelopment ot tlu Use of PrepAsiticnu. —
a. Originally the preposition was a free adverb limiting thf meaning of tha
verb but not directly connected with it ; xar ip (ffro doom he Kale him A 101.
In this OHe the preposition may be called a ' preposltion-advprb.'
b. The preposition-adverb was also often uEed in senieiices in which an
oblique case depended directly on the verb without regard to the preposition-
advert). Here the case la Independent of the preposilion-adverb, as in ^\t^pur
two tiKpua rtina from her eyelids, amag, tears fall f 121K Here fi\t^>ipar Is
ablatlvai genitive and is not governed by 4ir4, wliich serves merely to define tlie
relation between verb and [loun.
c. Gradually the pre[M)si linn -ad verb was brought into closer connection
ritber (1) with tbe verb, whence arose compounds such lut iiroil»T(ni, or
•i) with the noun, the preixmition-adverb having frued itself from ilx adverbial
relation to the verb. In this siat'e, which Is that ot Attio pnwe, the noun was
felt to depend on the prepoaitloii. Hence arose many syntacUcal cbangeK. e.g-
866 SYNTAX OF THE SIMPLE SENTENCE [i6m
tlia aociuaUTe of the limit of taotion (1688) wu kbuidoiied in irobb for tb«
pnpoBition nith tlie acciuaiive.
Prepositions have three uses.
1639. (I) Prepositions appear as adverbs defining the action of
verbs.
1640. The prepooltion-adverb oaualiy precedes the verb, from wfalch it ia
often separated In Homer by nouns ftnd otber words ; iiiiir ir6 \iuyir i/iS^
to wani off destruction from (for) lu A 67, ifpi yip jm M the goddett tent b«r
/ortA A 106, txf lira yaZi the earth held him fa*t B 69B.
1B41. So, M links connecting sentences, rpii it ml and n! rpii and betUea,
trl S4 and betidet, iieri Sf and next, thereupon (both in Hdt.), ir U and awwnf
thenvwber (Hdt.).
1643. The verb (usoalljr iarl or tint, rarely tl/tC) may be omitted : ot yi^ rti
p4t» Ttun ir^p for no racA man U among them ^ 93. Cp. 944.
1643. The prepodtlon-ndTerb may do duty for tlie verb In pu&Ilel clkiues:
Srtptt ir/rrar, &r iiir tp 'Arptf^qi . . . ir f ipti MiffH^r^ the men TOte ftp, roM
■9 Atreide*, rose up Meriona 4 860. 8o In Hdt.
1644. (II) Prepositions connect verbs and other vords vith the
oblique cases of nouns and pronouns.
1643. It Is often Impoaaible to decide whether tbe preposlUon belongs to Ibe
verb or to the noun. Thus, it Si XpDvirli "lit P^l A 439 may be Chrj/MOa vent
Ota of the ehip oi; ChrgitU aenl^ut-from ('f'^) the eh^. When important
words separate the prep.-adv. from the noun, tbe prep.-adv. is mote prop«riy
regarded as belonging with the verb, which, together with the prep.-adv., |;ov-
ems tbe noun : dfi^t Si xoXtm S/mu itrterrai and hi* mane Jloat»-aboiU hie
thoulden Z G09. The Mss. often vary : rai^t* iyA /uB' ifUXnr (or fiato^Oitor)
vtth thete I wot wont to aieoeiate A 269.
1646. (Ill) Prepositions unite with verbs (less frequently vitb
nouns and other prepositions) to form c{»mpounds. Cp. 886 B,
a. From this use as a prefix the name ' preposition ' ^rpiStnt praepoattto) is
derived. Tbe origin^ meaning of eome prepositions is best seen in compoonds.
1647. Improper prspoaitloiu (1690) are adveriM nsed like prepositlona, bat
Incapable of forming compounds. The case (usually the genitive) foUowing an
improper preposition depends on tbe preposition alone wlthoot regard lo tin
verb ; whereas a true preposition was attached originally, as an adverb, to a
case depending directly on tbe verb.
1648. The addition of a preposition (especially iii, mrd, rtfr) to a vvital
form may mark the completion of tbe action of the verbal Idea (ptrfectin
action). The local force of the preposition Is here oft«n lost. So lia^rtytu
triMeed in emaptng, taraStilittir tucfeed in pumiing, vvm\tir aeeomplM, earrf
into effect {jtlittr do, perform).
1649. Two or more prepositions may be used with one verb, either sepa-
i6s8] PREPOSITIONS 867
ntelj, as adverbs, or in composition with the verb. Thus, vrQ Si r<ip4i (or irap'
*E) he »tood forth hetide htm A*86. When two prepositions of like meuiing
aitt Died Id comptwltioD, that prepoaltlon precedes which hs« the narrower
nngB: ovfi^in'^Mr take part <n uritA, in^ijripifrilnatai to be jnit round about
OM a erow*. Whea two prepositions are need with one nouD, the noun usuAlly
depends on the Moond, while the first defines the second adeerhisUy ; as An^l
r*pl v4i' round about a tpring B306. It Is often nncertsin whether or not
two prepoaiUons dionld he written together.
a. Bnch compound prepoaltloiia are iii^ttpl, rop^f, ^fx, irix, Mn, irarpi,
iMWfi, rtftrpi. Improper prepoellions may be QHed with trae prepositions, U
fi^X^ */f ri rrfurliwttnr a* far at (into) the camp X. A. 6. 4. 20.
1C50. Tmesis (rfi^vif euittng) denotes the separation of a preposition from
its rerb, and is a term of late origin, properly deeoripiive only of the post-epio
tangnage, in which preposition and verb normally formed an indissoluble eom-
ponnd. 'Rie term 'tmeeis' is Incorrectly applied to the language of Homer,
■inc« in the Kpic the prep.-adv. was still in process of joining with the verb.
ICSl. In Attic poetry tmesis occurs chiefly when the preposition is separated
ttotu the verb by unimportant words (partJctes, encimca), and is employed for
the sake of emphasis or (in Euripldea) aa a mere ornament. Aristophanes uses
tmeala <mly to parody the style of tragic ohonisee.
1(52. Bdt. nses tmesis f reqnently in imitation of the Epio ; the intervening
words are At (= olr), enclitics, Bi, /Ur . . . li, etc.
16S3. In Attic prose tmesis occurs only in special osses : irr a wait (ri-
«^«r) and fit «8 (itMiJi) nuir (Tio-x"')- Thus, Ssavi iB »«-^aiToi ^ »4X«
irr' *B ir*wlvi*» o" whom the city ha* requited viith beaeJUt for the senifce thtf
rendered U D. SO. 04. Here tt rrrolipin is almost equivalent to a ringle notion.
1C54. The addition of a preposition to a verb may have no eHect on the
construction, as hi inp^wai rfj* rt<ii, whereas fi^nur^ rtiit originally, and still
In poetry, can mean go frxnn-the-ihip ; or it may determine the construction,
as In rtprytfiaeai i/me to rurpat* me D. 18. 236. Prose t«nda to repeat the pre-
fixed pniporitlon : ixpilrai ix tQi hJh T. 1. 137.
1635. A preposition nsiwiiy assumes the force of an adjective when com-
pounded with substantives which do not change their forms on entering into
composition, as virotat a national meeting (iSbt), Otherwise the compound
nsnally gets a new termination, generally -«r, -w» neuter, or -It feminine, as
ir^wiow dream (y*Toi), twiyovrli thigh-mueele (ytrv).
1636. The ose of prepositions is, in general, more common In prose than In
poetry, wliich retained the mora primitive form of expiee^n.
1637. A noun joined by a preposition to its case without the help of a verb
liaa a verbal meaning : irb rir&r ipx*^' iKmOtpia freedom from all rule P. L.
MM a (Cp. i)Mttpat)n dri r.Hi ).
16SS. In geneml, when depending on prepodUons expranlng relatJoos
of place, the aconsatiTe denotes the place (or person] toward ahieh or the
^ace over tohieh, along which motion t^es place, the dadve denotes rest in

outlines to slAtemente ol the definite place of an object or action, Is used in

of the verbal action, irl with the gen. is colourless and phraseological, and often
makes, with the verb or the subject, a compound picture. Even In contrasting
two objects irl with gen. Is used rince no special point Is made of position.
With (nnemphatle) pronouns of reference (a^oG) twl with gen. is much more

1709] THE VERB: ACTIVE VOICE
THE VERB: VOICES
ACTIVE VOICE
1703. The aotdve voice represents the subject as performing the
action of the verb : Kawo I wash.
a. Uader action ia tuclnded being, as 4 ^> t^icfi tart the wty it long.
1704. Active verba are transitive or iiUranstlhe (920).
1705. The action of a transitive verb is directed immediately
npon an object, as tuttid tw mT&i / strike the boy.
1706. The object ot a transitive verb is always put in the
' accnsadve (1553).
1707. The action of an intransitive verb is not directed immedi-
ately upon an object. The action may be restricted to the subject,
as iXya I am in pain, or it may be dehned by an oblique case or by
a preposition with its case, as iXySi rots ito&k / have a pain in my
feet, i^MTo cIs r^r b^oAii' lie arrived at the city.
170O. Many verba are uaed in tbe acllve «oice both tranHltively and intnui-
sitively. So, in Engllrii, turn, move, change. Cp. 1567 fl.
a. The dlatinction between tnositive and intranHitlve verba ia a grammatical
convenience, and la not founded on an eaaential difference of nature.
1709. Active verba ordinarily Uaniltlve are often uaed IntranBitlTely ;
«. By the elllpeia of a deSnite ei(«nial object, which in aome caaea may be
employed, aa Syttr (ri trrpd-rtatia.) march, atptir (T<|r Aytipar) hoist the anchor,
(rai (Bvt) fftt voder sail, rtnrt, iwaipttt (tm raOt, rir arparir) sail avxtg, march
aiKir, tidynr (ri* ^loi) live, i\a6mr (rir twror) ride, (rj Sfina) drive, (tA*
fTparir") march, taraXittw (ri>i)t Trroui, ri iir«(6yta) halt, lar/x"' (j^' mSr) put

wnae haa often been so completely forgotten that it becomes poaaibte to aay
ttpttr rf vTparf set oul aith the army T. 2. 12, iXtUm/f ISpeBrrt t<P Irrif riding

b. Tpirrtir, fx'" ^th adverbe often mean to keep, to be: <S rpArmr fare
well, Ke.\At tx'ir be well {bene m habere'), fxt'-r tiirut be SO. 5o wben a
reflexive pronnun Is apparendy omitted ; tx «*roC stop there I D, 46. 26.
C. Many other traiisitlTe verbs may be used absolutely, i.e. with no definite
object omitted, aa ninar he a vietitr, iliiatr be guilty. Cp. 'amare' be in
love, ' drink ' be a drunkard. This ia especially the case in compoanda, e.g. of
IXXdrrnv, df^iv, JliSdm, iXtntir, Xa/ifiintu, Xcfveir, fin'riiirai.
d. In poetry many uncompouuded transitive verbs are used intranaltlraly.
Many {ntransitive verba become transitive when compounded with a prep., espe-
cially when the compound has a tranaferred senae, 1669. In some verbs let
sorist and lat perfect are tranaltlTe, 9d aoriat and 2d perfect are intranaiUve.

MIDDLE VOICE
1713. The middle voice shows that the action is performed with
special reference to the subject : XoS/iat I wash myself.
1714. The middle represenU the subject as doing snmethiDg In which he is
latereeted. He may do something to himself, fir hitiuelf, or lie may act with
somelbing belonging to Mmieff.
1715. The future middle is often (807), the first aorist middle is
almost never, used passively.
1716. The object of the middle (1) may belongin the spbere of the subject,
■s his properly, etc. : Xoi^ofuu rat x'^P" t wath my hands, or (8) It ma; be
brought into the sphere of tite subject : ra^ irXIrai fimW/i^arrD tAcy tent for
the hopUtes, or (S) it may be removed from the spbere of the subject : drolUo**'
rh' altiav I tell my Aoiue (liL give away). Ueie the abject Is ftlao the property
of the eubjecL
1717. The Direct ReflexlTe Middle repreaents the subject as acting
directly on hirmtelf. Self is here the direct object. So with verbs
expressing external and natural acts, as the verba of the toilet:
A\<iii>ttr$(u anoint oneself, XoDo-doi wash oneself; and KoapjuuBai adorn
oneself, xn-ftxivova^ai crown oneself; yviivaicirBia exercise oneself.
a. The direct reHeiive tde& is tai more frequently conveyed by the active
and a reflexive pronoun, 1T23.
b. The part affected may be added la the accusative : iruiaaTii rir )nipir it
smote hit thigh X. C. 1. 3. 0.
1718. So with many other verbs, as Urareai stand (place oneteff\ rpl-
TnrSol turn (lit. (urn oneself), iijXaiwSiu thme oneself, rdrTotfu post ottMtlf,
ira\aytta$ai defend oneself (argue onetelf ojf), *aJ»w9ai thoui oneself, oppMr,
TBptwKtvdJtffSai prepare oneself, di-iXXiHrtfoi dettroy onetelf, perish.
1719. The Indirect Reflexive Middle represents the subject as
acting for himself, with reference to himself, or with something b^onging
to himself. Self is often here the indirect object. So vap^ta^ pro-
vide for otiesey {vopSitii' provide), ^vXiirrctrAu guard against (j^v^arrar

ifep guard), uIpeurAu choose (take for oneself), wopr^eirftw fumUh (vapi-

1720. Cues in wbloh the object Is to be rerooved from the sphere of the
■abject jtmj be resoWed into the dative for oneaelf (1483) : rtir ^feiiiiiw in-
Urtn to laji atide your UidoUnet D.8.46, H-pti/'iirTo toAi Iwwiii they rovtei
tie analri/ T. 6. 98, t»4i tx^fvit i/iirmiai to ward off the enemy for them-
kIki, i.e. to defend Unitueleet against the enemy 1. 144.
1721. Hie middle often denotes that the subject acta nith something be-
longing to blmaelf (ntalerial objecla, means, ponen). It is often used of acts
done willingly. Thua, Ta^^»0u furnish from one's oun resources, twayyiWt-
Tlai promise, tnake profettton of, rlStaBat rijp ^g^» give one's vote, rlBraBai ri
IrXs ground arms, droteifairlhu yniiiJir set forth one's opinion, Xa/iffdmirSat Tim

1722. Under tbe indirect middle belong the periphrases of rouivBai with
Terbal nouns instead of the simple verb (cp. 1764). rwcif with the s»me nouns
means to bring about, effect, fa^ion, etc
ilri"i' rouiaBat mate peace (of one nation at war with anoUier).
ilpiirfw wmtii bring about a peace (between opponents, nations at war : of an
individual).
f^r TDutrfloi (= Oijpat) hunt, B^par roittr arrange a hunt.
HrfBw mitiaBai (= kfyiir) deliver a speech, X^ar woutr compose a speech.

Uir waUiaSai (= Uritt*) make a journey, iSir rou/tr build a Toad.
rSUiior rauivBat leage VMT, riXiimr riitir bring about a tear.
tironti.! tttaeBai Conclude (make) a treaty, or truce.
rnrSai Tmtit bring about a treaty, or truce.
1733. Active and SeflexlTe. — Instead of the direct midijle the
active voice with the reflexive pronoun is usually employed ; often
of difficult and tmaatural actions (especially with avrot lavrw, etc.).
tA ftrXa itofiiiovKr tal a^i afrrodi they surrendered their arms and thent-
setves T. 4. 38, /ifBiiait a&rtr hiring himself out D. IQ. 29 (not lurBurititnt,

b. Some of these verbs have a passive aorlst form, as tuXix^' (812).
1727. The reciprocal relation may also be expressed (1) by the oae of tbe 10-
flextve pronoun (cp. 1724) with the active : ^raiwti iauTM th^ are miUuaUg
envious X. M. 3. G. 10 ; (2) by the use of dXXijXwr, etc., with the active : d#i^-

W. D. 26. The reflexive pronounB and ilXXi}\ur, etc., may also be added to the
middle.
173a DifferencM between Acttn and Middle.— As contrasted with tbe
active, the middle lays stress on tlie conscious activity, bodily or mental partici-
pation, of tlie agent.
In verbs that posssBS both active and middle : ^uXidMSu deliberate, pvi^ti-
nr plan, rraSiiar measure, ara3ii&r9an calculate, nmrtir look at, atnwntSti
consider, ixe'^ai cling to, niwBai cease (1734. 14). The force of the middle
often cannot be reproduced in translation (dnfeaSu, Ti/iaaBai, iptBiMl^Sti, t-
wvptlrSiu), and in some other cases it may not hare been felt, as in Ipsirtu
In poetry (rpoQpitSv occurs In prose).
a. Man; such verlM form their futures from the middle : indrotwt, fwtpat,
^laiiHtfeiim. See B06.
b. In Terbe in -biu, the middle signlfles Chat the subject is acting In a manofr
appropriate to his state or couditlou ; nXirt^nv be a cUissn, nXtTftfirtfu act <u

oXcM^/Koftu latnejU.
a. Some of the verb* denoting a functional state or process have the middle
either in all forms or onl j in the future.
b. Verbs denoting bodiiy actirily regulaiiy have a middle fatore, 806-800.
1730. Deponent verbs are either direct or indirect middles ; direct : frrw-
xntrSai undertatt, protnUe (lit. liold onetelf under') ; indirect: rroirffiu acquire
/or OHetey, iyuriitaeiu contend (with one's own powers).
1731. The middle may denote more vigorous participaUou on the part of
the subject than the active : aiivrSai dart, but 9Uiv run.
1732. He active is ofUtn used tor the middle when it Is not of practical
importance to mark the Interest of the anbject In the action. The active implies
what the middle ezpressee. So with iirra-rliurur send for T. 7. 16, SiiXiiv arm TJ)r
yniiniw setting forth Ihetr opinion i.XJ, t par tuarrT-^ami setting ttp a trophjf 7.6,
1733. The passive form may have reflexive force, as tlmie^iui set oneself *»
motion, ^roXXaT^rai remove uneaelf, inarrtaSftrai oppote oneself, o-w^m tave
oneself (viMr^t save yourself P. Cr, 44 b). Some of these middle passives may
take tbe acctuaUve, as a/a-^vt^wit be ashamed btfore, ^Pii9^nu bt tffraid of,
ii«T«TXir¥4>e' viiw be amtued at some one. See 814 B.

PASSIVE VOICE
1V3S. The passive voice represents the subject aa acted on:
ittidow, iviSmiyro, imaav, liraioyro they pushed, toere pushed, they struck,
taere struck X. C. 7. 1. 38.
«. Tbe passive has been developed from the middle. With the exception
of some futures and Clie aorlet, the middle forma do duty as pssslves: wlftirai
taket for himself, i.e. cAoo«es, and is ehostn. (For this deTelopment <A the
passive, cp. the reflexive use in «e trouver, sich Jlnden.) So Wxvrot hat
poured itself, has been potired. In Homer there are more perfect middles used
passively than any other middle tensee. Cp. SOS.
b. Uncomponnded iaxiiiv sometiinee retained its use as a paa^Tet frx#<i*

1736. The pssslve may have the sense allow oneself to be, get onstdf:

1739. The second aorist paBaive was originally a second aorist actiye (of
the -fit form) that was used intranaitivelj to distinguish it from the transltiTe
flnt aorEst, as f^n ahowed, i^nir appeared; IfiStipa dettroyed, i^tiprir am
dettrofed; <{^\ir£a wot terrified, ifewMyiir wai alarmed. So iSdiir learned,
fypi^r Jtoaed. Cp. lan/va placed, lirr^r ttood {B\0).
1740. In Horn, all the second aorlst forms in -^r are IntransitiTe except
frXih'?' <uid irCmir wM ttrucJC. Most of the forma in -^r are likewise IntranaU
tive in Horn., as iipirfftiw appeared (in Attic toot *Aoun).
174L The perfect paasiTS in tbe third singular with tbe datlTe of the agent
(14S8) ia often preferred to the perfect active of the first person. Thus wirpA*ral
!•■ it hat been done by me is more common than rtrpAya oirfrfix' I hate done.
1742. Tbe passive may b« passive of the middle as well as passive of the
active: oI^itbi la taken or u chosen, ^idlkrw doet violence or mffert violence
{it forced), -ipiSii laat taken or teas dwaen, iypiiM tea* vritten or oat indicted
iytypait^Bi is eommonlf middle). Tbe use of the passive as passive of the
mUdle is poet-HomeriD.
a. Wben deponent verbs have a pasdve force, the future and aorist have the
paasire fwro: iffiisBiir I differed violence {leat forced), but ipiaaiiofr I did
violence. This holds wben then was once an active form, Cp. also riiMptit8<u,
lUTaripTtatai, ^'v^fKr^at, mXcib'tfu.
b. The aorist passive may have a middle sense (814),
1743. The direct object of an active verb becomes the subject of
tbe passive : ^ KuttoX^ vko tov iiSaiTKaXm) ypa^enu the later is torittmi
by the teacher (active & StidtrnaXiK ypdi^ rip' irumA,^).
1744. The donate accuBative may become the Babject of the
passive ; nXc>ioc iroXifujdri war uhjs waged P. Menex. 243 e (roXt^uiv
woKt/uir, 1564).
1745. Active or middle verbs governing the genitive or dative

1747, An active verb followed by tvro accusatives, one of a pei^
Bon, the other of a thing, retains, when transferred to the passive,
the accusative of the thing, vhile the accusative of the person
becomes the nominative subject of the passive. Examples 1^1,
1625, 1627, 1632.
1V4B. An active verb followed by an accusative of the direct
object (a thing) and an oblique case of a person, retains, when trans-
ferred to the passive, the accusative of the direct object, while the
indirect object becomes the nominative subject of the passive. Cp.

ambulator, itur, curritur) only when the active is itself intransitive ; as USeKTOi
it ha» teemed good (cp. SonJ).
1752. The active or the middle deponent of a transitive verb used
transitively or of an intransitive verb may replace the passive of a
traDsitive verb.

1759. The a^nt of the passive is regularly expressed by vrd and
the geTiitive; sometimes by dn-d, Sia, ix, napd, Tifioi with the genitive,
or by inra with the dative (in poetry). See 1678.
1756. The instrument of an action, when regarded as the ^ent,
is personified, and may be expressed by ix6 with the genitive :
iXuFKiToi inro Tpi^pow he IS captured by a trireme D. 53. 6.
1757. The dative, or a prepositional phrase, is regularly used with
the passive to denote the instrument, means, or cause (1506). The
agent may be viewed as the instrument : in prose, when persona are
regarded as inatruments, the dative is usually that of military ao-
oompaniment (1526).
1758. The dative of tbe agent used with the perfect passive and
verbal adjective is a dative of interest (1488) ; on inro with the gen-
itive used instead of the dative, see 1493, 1494,
THE MOODS
1759. Mood designates by the form of the verb the mode or
manner (modus) in which the speaker conceives of an aaBertion
concerning the subject.
1760. There are four moods proper in Greek: indicative, sub-
junctive, optative, and imperative. The infinitive (strictly a verbal
noun) and the participle (strictly an adjective form of the verb) may
be classed with the moods.
THE PARTICLE av
1761. The particle iv (Horn, xiv, kc) limits the meaning of the
moods. It has two distinct uses :
a. la independent clauses: with the past tenses of the indicative
and with the optative ; also with the infinitive and participle
representing the indicative or optative.
b. In dependent clauses : with the subjunctive.

pendent sentences nitb Sr (Indie, and opt.) the particle Is often separated from
its verb for emphasis, and is attached to negatives {ain ir), InterrogatlTes (t(i
ir, tSi Sr), or to any emphatic modifier. It vi commonly attached to verbs of
Ktftng or tkitiking : air tfur iiir ir iHiiai clru rffuof If I should remain wftA yoM,

1769. Rcpetidan of &*. — av may be repeated once or twice in the

a. Ir is placed early in a sentence which contains a miI>ordinate elanse, in
order to direct attention to the character of the construction : lutoO/ut f tr im

to be supplied from the context. So in the second member of a sentence with
coordinate clauses : oUa Art voXXoAt ^r ifytiiim dr Jolig, roXXoAi f dr (Solif) ini-

DBPBHDBNT CLAUSES WITH Xv
1766. SabJniictiTS witb A*. — Conditional, relative, and temporal

THE MOODS IN SIMPLE SBNTENCB8
1769. gg 1770-1S49 treat of the use of the moods in independeDt
sentences and principa,] clauses. The dependent construction of the
moods was developed from their independent use. The use of the
moods in subordinate clauses wa^ not originally different from that
in independent sentences and in the principal clauses of complex
sentences. For the uses of the indicative, see also 1875-1958.
INDICATIVE WITHOUT &*
1770. The indicative mood makes a simple, direct assertion of
fact; or asks a question anticipating such an assertion: ^Xfi€ As
came, ouk ^XSt he did not eome, iKtwrtrai he viiU come, nrt ravrtt wot^-
ow; toA«n m'' he do this 1
1771. The indicative Btat«s particalar or general suppodtions, makes afflrnia-
Uva or negative assertions, which may or may not be absolutely true. Thua, fn

1772. The indicative may be used to express a doubtful aseertion about a
prewnt oi past action (negative a4 or f<4 <>#) : <l^V ipa . . . ii.ii 6 Kr-iviinrin f r

qaeetlOQB with the effect of doubtful affinnation.
3.773. The Indicative may be used alone where in English we employ an
auxiliary verb : rwrtfuv St Stoii rui o^ ttrtu etoit Miu^r ; since he trxtattd in the

Cp. 2319.
1774. UnfuUUed ObUgatlon (Propriety, PouibUity). — With the
imperfect indicative of impersonal expressions denoting obligation,
propriety, necessity, or possibility, the action of a dependent infini-
tive ia nsually not realized. (Examples 1775-1776.)
Snch eipreBaiouB are fS«, XJ")' ("'' ^XJ^i'}' rpoa^ti, loifdi l^r, i(uni ff, tU6t f *,

a. For the use of these expressions (also with If) in the apodoeis of unreal
conditions, see 3313, S31&.
1775. Preaent. — Thus, (la at raura iro»tr yos oaght to he doing thi$ (but

1777. The Qreek usage aimply states the obligation (propriety, possibility)
aa a fact which existed in the post (and may continue to exist in the present).
In Engliah we nsually ezpTess the non-fulfilment of the action.
1778- Preaent or past time is denoted when the present infinitive Is nsed.
When the reference is to present time, the action of the present InSnitive ia
always denied. Past time is denoted when the aorist infinitive is used.
1779. The expressions in 1774 may also refer to simple past obligation
(propriety, poaeibllity) and have theordinary forcaof past indlca^ves: Ktitiimr
he had to remain (and did remain) D. 19, 124. The context determines the
meaning; time tI tAh fftiifievSor ixpffr rouir; (D. 18. 100) by itself might mean

1794. dv Is not osed with tbe present and perfect indicatlTe.
SUBJUHCTIVB WITHOUT it
1796. The chief uses of the independent subjunctire are the
hortatory (1797), the prohibitive (1800), and the deliberative (1806).
a. The name tubjunetive la due to tbe belief of the ancient gTBjnmaiians that
the mood was always subordinate. Thus, tFru thall Itpeakf (1S05) was explained
as dne to the omission of a preceding poi\*i, i.e. do j/ou with that I tpeakf
1796. The Independent subjunotlTe refers to future time. It has three main
uses 1 (1) the Tolnntatlra, expressing the vAU of tbe speaker. This is akin to
the impesatlTe, (2) Tbe dellbemtlve. This is possibly a form ol the «olonla-
tive. (S) Tbe snticipatory (or futntBl). This anticipates an action as an
immediate future possibility. Whether the anticipatory la a form of tbe volun-
tative Is uncertain (op. fcA vsUl tehen,Jevevx voir, dialectal a veutpleuvotr).
1797. Hortatory SnbiaoctiTe.-^The hortatory Bubjimctive (present
or aoriBt) is used to express a request or a proposal (negative fi.^.

H prohibitive (1800).
1799. The hortatory use of the sabjuncUre compensates tor the absence of
an Imperative ol the flist person.
1800. ProhibitiTe SabjanctlTe. — The subjunctive (in the second
and third persons of the aorist) is often used to express prohibitions
(negative ^ij).

Ai, Nub. 367.
1801. Doubtfnl Aswrtion. — The present subjunctive with /ii) may eiprecs
a doubtful asseitlon, with /i^ oi a doubtful negation. The idea of apprebeosion
or anxiety (real or assumed) is due to the situation. A touch of irony often
marks thU use, which is chiefly Platonic. With fi4 (of what may be true) : ^4

constructions of 1801, 1802 are used as object clauses after verbs of fearing
(2221).
1803. Srui flit Is occasionally so used with the aorist subjnnctJYe, and with
an idea of command : Arm nii ittlff's rit majr no on< say (as I fear he may) X. S.

N. — The subjunctive qnestion does not refer to a future f«t, but to what \a,
under the present circumstajiceB, advantageous or proper to do or ny.

1809. The negative In QaMttosa. — The nse of ni (not a^) in questions is
due to the fact that the constraction of 1806 is simply the inUirrogative form of
the hortatory sabjanctive : ^Hfitr let vt tay, i^ii ^Hiur -, are vie not to tay t Dis-

1014. OpUtircof Wish. — In independent sentence!) the optative
without ay is uscd to express a wish referring to the future (negative
fi^) : u irol, yimo -mrpov curuxarrqjos oA, hoy, vMyest thou prove more
fortunate than thy aire S. Aj. 560. From this use is derived the name
of the mood (Lat. opto unsh).

by the optative : tl fm ytmra pBiyyot it jSpa^Wi would that I had a voice in ng
armt B, Hec.itSA. Wishes represented as hopeless are ezpraaaed In tbe post-
Homeric iangoage by the psat t«nsea of the indicative (1780) or by A#(Xo* (1761).
1S19. Horn, often nses the optative with a concMaive or permlssfve force :

OPTATIVB WITH Ir
UM. Fot«ntl«l Optative. — The potential optatire with 3y states
a future possibility, propriety, or likelihood, as an opinion of the
speaker; and may be translated by may, mighl, can (especially with
a negative), vwat, tuoxld, ahould (rarely toiu, dtaM). So in Latin velim,
videaa, cogruneaa, crtdtu.

a. The potential optative nuigea from pooeibility to fixed reaolve. The aorist
optatiTe with dv and a n^ative is very cominon.
b. When stress is laid on the idea of possibility and power, necessity and
obligation, Greek usee lAro^ui, ttlor xp^ with the infinitive (statement of /act).
c. The potential optative with dv is also used in dependent sentences ; In pur-
pose clauses (S202 b). In object clanaea after verbs of ^ort (2210) and verbs of
fearing (3282), In causal clauses (2243), in remit clauses (2278), hi the apodoeis
at conditional (see 3366) and conditional relative sentences (2560). In indi-
net diaeoarse tlie infinitive with Af or the participle with iw may tepreeent tlie
optaUve with dr (1B46 ft.).
1B25. Usoally these optatives are not limited by any definite condition
prcaent to the mind, and It is unneeeasary to supply any protaslH in thouf^t.

THE TENSES
189a By the tenses (' tense ' from tempos) are denoted ;
1. The time of an action ; present, past, future,
2, The sti^ of an action : action continued or repeated (in process
of development), action simply brought to pass (simple occur-
rence), action completed with a permanent result.
a. The lime of an action !■ either absolute or retattte. Time that is nbeo-
tutely present, past, or future la reckoned from the time of the speaker or
writer. Time that la relativelf present, past, or future in dependent clauses is
reckoDed from the time of some verb in the same sentence. In dependent
clauses Greek has do special forms to denote the temporal relation of one sctioD
to another (antecedent, coincident, sabBeqDeot}, but leaves the reader to infer
whether one action happened btfore, at Ike ttMtite time at, or qfter another
action. The aorist is tlius often used where English has the plupufect (IMS).
See IBBS, lOU. Unless specif refeience is made to relaUTe time, the ezprc*-
sions "kind of time," "time of an action," in this book are osed of abaoluic
b. In independent clauses only the tenses of the Indicative denote abaolate
time ; in dependent clauses they express relative time. The tenses of the sub-
juncUve, optative, imperative, infinitive and participle do not refer to tbe differ-
ences In kind of time. Thus ypd^nv and ypiif/at to write, ytyptt^rtt to Jtni*h
writing, may be used of the present, the past, or tbe futm« according to the
context. On the tenses of the optative, infinitive, and participle in Indirect di*-
conrae see 1802, 1860, 18T4. Tbe future infinitive may be used, outdde of indi-
rect discourse, to lay stress on the idea of futurity (1866 d).
c. Kven In the indicative the actual Ume may be different from that vrbich
would seem to be denoted by tbe tense employed. Thus the speaker or writer
may imagine the past as present, and use tbe present in setting foitii ao event
that happened before his time (1883); or may use the aorist « perfect of an
event that has not yet occurred (1084, 1050).

d. Id tlie sab^niioUTe, optative (except In indirect diiooarae), and trapentlra
tlie kind o[ tline ia Implied only by the maod-lDrms, not by tlie lenses. The
lElation of the time of one action to the time of another usually has to be inferred
in all the moods.
e. The stage of an action Is expressed by all the tenaes of all the different'
moods (iaolDding the participle and Infinitive).
f The action of the verb of a aubordlnale clause may overlap niUi that of
tlie verb of the main claase. See 2368.
KIND OF TIME
um. Only in the indicatiTe do the tenses show time absolutely
present, past, or future.
a. Present time is denoted 1^
1. The Present : ypa^ I write, am writing.
2. The Perfect : yiypai^ I have written.
b. Past time is denoted by
1. The Imperfect: typa^ I wrote, wa» wrUing.
2. The Aorist : lypaifa I wrote.
3. The Pluperfect : lytypa^ I Aod written.
N. — Tte only past tenses are the augmented tenaea.
■ c. Future time is denoted by
1. The Future : ypmfHo I dudl wrUe.
2. The Futuie Perfect : ytypaf^nu it wUl have been loritien, rctft^u /
afiaU be dead (aAaQ hime died).
STAGE OF ACTION
18S2. Every form of the verb denotes the stage of the action.
a. Continued action is denoted by the present stem :
1. Present: ypa^ I am vnriting, TtiSat I am permtading {trying to
persuade), i*6ti i» in bloom.
2. Imperfect: iypa^w I was writing, imiOw I was persuading {trying
to persuade), ^v6€i was in bloom.
3. Future : ypa^m I shall write (shall be writing), ^aaiXtwra he wiU
reign.
N. — Continued action is Incomplete ; hence nothing is stated as to tlie con-
clusion. Thus 4it6yti he fiets does not state whether or not t^e subject suc-
ceeded In escaping.
b. Completed action with permanent result is denoted by the
perfect stem :
1. Perfect: yiypa^ IvunoK'qv I Aave written a letter (and it is now
finished), ^w$i)ict has bloomed {and is in flower).
2. Phiperfect: tytypa^ twurroXijv I had written a letter (and it was
thien finished), ^v0^Ka had bloomed (and was in flower).

3. Futare Perfect: ytypdijitTai it vnU have been written, rtSw^ia he
wiUbedead.
c. Action simply brought to paas (simple attainment) is denoted
by tbe
1. Aorist : lypaijia I wrote, hrtura I persttaded (succeeded in pertnad-
ing), ipafftXivn he became king or lie was king, ^vSijn burst into
Jlower or loas in Jtower.
2. Future ; ypa^ii I shall write, ptunXxwtt he wUl becotne king.
N. — The aorlet lenue (dipwrof x<>^> from Vi*' iffine; unlimited, Uidefi-
nite, or undefined time) ia ao named because tt does not show tlie limlutioii
(V«>) of continuance (expressed by tb« imperfect} or of completion irith pei-
manent leenlt (expressed b; the perfect).
1853. The present stem may denote the simple action of the verb tn present
time without regard to its continnance ; as tfaufidfiii / am ttieed Kith attonUh-
ment, iirTpirTii U lightens (once or conlinually), SlBu/u I make a pretenL Thi»
is called the aorUUc present. On inceptive verbs, see 626.
1854. The future stem ma; denote either continued action (as In the present)
or simple occurrence of tlie action of Che -verb (ss in the aonst). Thufl Tpdf m
/ shall be wrUiag or 1 >hall write. See 1910 b.
less. Some verbs are, by their meaning, restricted ta the tenses of con-
Unoed action, bh ipir behold, ^pttw carry ; others are exclusively aorlatic, sa
ISiir properly glance at, iiryiirir bring. Verbs exprening different Idnds of
action in their several tenses (as ipar, Ittir) unite to form a verbal syMem.
1856. The difference betiveen the present stem (present and Imperfect) and
the aorist stem may be compared to the difference between a line and a point
(both starting point and end). Thus, IpxtrSai go, i\Btlf come, arrive; ^4pn*
carry, twryKtl* bring; ivtiF accompany, lead, iyaytiw bring to a goal.
1857. For the ' pragresaive ' tensee of Engliah (fo walking. Hot been fffoinff,
etc.) Oreek has no exact equivalent. The periphrasis of the present participle
with iaH, etc. is employed to adjectivize the participle or to describe or character-
ize the subject like an adjective, i.e. thesubject has a quality which it may diaplaj
in action. Thus, ApiSKarrts itrptt Vie art acceptable T. 1. 38. ical rdrr' Aratrxt-

1858. Primary and Secondary Tensea. — The primary tenses refer
to present and future time (present, future, perfect, and future per-
fect), the secondary or historical tenses refer to past time (imperfect,
aorist, pluperfect).
a. The gnomic aorist (193! b) is regarded as a primary tense, as is ttae aoriat
when need for the perfect (IMR), and the imperfect Indicative referring to
present time (1T88) ; the historical present (1883), as a secondary tense, llta
subjunctive, optative, and imperative moods in tbeir independent ntes ptdnt to
the future, and all their teases therefore count as pihnary.

1859. Thfl tenses of the moods except the indicative do oot ex-
press time in independent sentences.
laea SubJanctiTe. — The subjunctive mood as such refers to the
future. The tenses do not refer to differences of time, and denote
only the stage of the action (continuance, simple occurrence, comple-
tion with permanent result).

d. In general conditions (2836) the Bubjunctive refers to general time, denot-
ing what botds true now and at all times.

18G3. Optative (in indirect discourse). — Wheu the optatiTe in
indirect discourse represents the indicative after a past tease of
a verb of saying or thinking, each tense does denote time (aa well as
stage of action) relatively to that of the leading verb.
a. The present optative repreeenta tha imperfect as well aa the prewnt in-
dicative.
b. The futnre optative (flrat in Pindw) occurs only in Indirect diacoone
after verbe of taj/iiig and thinking. In object clauses after Swut, 2S12, and iti
Other indirect ezpreaslDns of tbon^lit.
C. When the optative in indirect diacouise represents thesubjonctive (36191)},

1946. Perfect with Present Meaning. — When the perfect marks
the enduring result rather than the completed act, it maj often be
translated by the present.

a. The«e perfect* praesentia do not in nature difler from other perfects.
1947. 'Intenaive' Perfect. — Many perfects seem to denote an
action rather tlian a slate resulting from an action, and to be
equivalent to strengthened presents. These are often called inten-
live perfects.
Such are : verbs of the eeneei (Sfiopta, gaze. wt^piKa ihndder), of tuttained

19S3. The pluperfect ia the past of the perfect, hence it denotes
a past fixed state resultiog from a completed action : i^ffovXtv/i.Tp'
I had {uxu) reaolued.
a. When the perfect is translated by the present, the pluperfect is rendered
by (be imperfect : ImxtiI/i^f wag in poexetsion, trtBtiiai he wa» dead, fii) ifcnetc,

1958. When the perfect has the force of a present, the fnlure perfect tl ilMil
like a simple future (1M<t) : kckXi^d^ioi / thall bear the name, /uiirii^aiiat sAoJI
remember, mrtT^B-afiai Khali po«t«s«. So in the two active forms : rrf rffw t
ihall be dead, irr'ifu I ehall itand.
A. The aorist subjunctive with St ('2324), not llie future perfoct, Is used to
denote a past action in relation to an action still in the fntnre.
PERIPHRASTIC TENSES

1961. With «t)U. — The proaeut and perfect participle are freely used vltb
the lortas of tifii to form a periphrasis, especially when the participle baa an
adjectival character (1857): 47<< ita^9ap«ninvt ririt tlmt; do you think that

1963. With Ix*. — The periphrasiB with Ixu and the aorist participle Is
analogous to the perfect in meaning, and emphasizes the permanence of the result
attained (chiefly in Hdt. and th^ drama): injpAfai ly I have proclaimed S.Aat.\92.

a. Many enbetantives are closely lelaled to verbs, but not all verbs can form
substantives. All verbs can, however, form inflnitives.
b. The word tnjtnitive denotes a vertwl form without any llmltatlou {finU)
of number and person.
1967. The infiuitive is like a verb herein:

a. It shows the dlgtincUons of Tolce and tense (but not tbose of aainber and
person). Uavlug lenses, it csn express different atages of action (ution aitDplj
occuirijig, continuing, or finished); wheresa the oorresponding substantiTesiTS
furth the abstract idea without these distinctions. Contrast troKir, ruV'"!
ToiQrcu, TEiraii|ii^HU with irnlitini making,
b. It can have a subject before it and a predicate after it, and It can h>ve in
object Id the genitive, dative, or accusative like the corresponding finite verb.
Infinitives scarcely ever stand in the subjective genitive ; and the object of an
infinitive never stands in the objecUve genitive.
c. It is modiSed by adverbs, not b; adjectives.
d. It ma; take dv and with that particle represent it with the indicative
(ITBf ft.) or it with the optaUve (1824).
e. It forms clauses of result with Arrr, and temporal clauses with irfl^, etc.
1968. The infioitiTe is like a Bubstaotive herein :
a. It may be tlie subject or object of a verb.
b. With the (neuter) article It shows all tlie case forms (except the vocative):
ri (jaO, Tip, Ti) \*«i>, Xdanr, etc,
c. It may be governed by prepositions ; rpi roO XAttr.
1969. The infinitive was originally a verbal noun In the dative (in part pos-
sibly also In the locative) case. The use to express purpose (2008) is a saniral
of the primitive meaning, from which all the other widely diverging uses wen
developed in a manner no longer always clear to us. But the to or for meanlnf;
wen in iiapSirtir fimu" we Aone com to tearn [for UaTaiHg) can also be dis-
cerned in a^Hfui lUtt I Itave power for teeing, then leaueee. Cp. 2000, 2006 s.
As early as Homer, when the datival meaning had been In part obscared, the
infinitive was employed as nominative (as subject) and accusative (as object).
After Homer, the infinitive came to be used with the neuter article, the subetan-
live idea thus gaining In definitenesa. The article mnst be used when the infini-
tive stands as an object in the genitive or dative, and when it depends on
prepositions.
1970. The infinitive is used as subject, as predicate, and to sup-
plement the meaning of words and clauses.
1971. The negative of the infinitive is ^i;; but oA, used with a
finite mood in direct discourse, is retained when that mood becomes
infinitive in indirect discourse. Sometimes, however, ii^ is used in
place of this o£ (2723 ff.).
SUBJECT AND PREDICATE NOUN "WITH THE INFINITIVE
1972. In general the subject of the infinitive, if expressed at all,
stands in tlie accusative; when the subject of the infinitive is the
same as the subject or object of the governing verb, or when it h

1974. A prononn subject of the infinitive, If (wholly or partially) identical
with the subject of the main verb, is generally expressed when emphatic, and
stands in the accusative (cases of the nominative are rare and suspected) ; but
the indirect reflexive a^lt stands in the nominative or acciisaCive.

a. After ■ preceding accusative with tlie Infinitive, a second pronoun refer-
ring to a different person, and also subject of an infinitive, must also stand in the
accusative whether or not it dtinotes the same person as the subject ot tlie gov-
emmg verb. Thus, dXXl nnilt^n 4iiat niw Mltreal ow, a^Ai (Hee below) Si

1978. When the subject of tb« inflnitive 1b the same as the object (fn the
genitive or d»live) of the governing verb, it ia often omitted, and a predicate
noun is either attracted Into the genitive or dative, or standi in the accusative
la agreement with tbe omitted subject of the infinitive. See 1060-1002.

1981. The construction of the nccusatlve with the Infinitive seems to h«T«
originated from the employment of tlie infinitive to complement the meaning
of transitive verba ; as In nXe^u rt dirtXectr / command you to drpart. Here
the accusative was separated from the transitive verb and fell W be tbe inde-
pendent sabjecl of the inflnitive (f command that you depart). Gradually the
accusative with the inflnitive was used even after verbs incapable of taking an
obj ect-accusative,
PBllSONAL AND IMPERSONAL CONaTRDCTION
1982. Instead of an impersonal passive verb with the accusative
and infinitive as subject, (ireek often uses the personal passive con-
struction, the accusative becoming tlie nominative, Bubject to the
leading verb.

B. Some verba, as n\tiw, which might be held to introduce indirect disconise,
are classed under verSs of will or desire, because, like these verbs, they do not
regularly lake the future Infinitive ; and because, unlike verba of saving and
thinking (which admit alt the tenses of the infinitive) they introduce infinitives
which do not show differences of time. The future infinitive does not ez[H«ss a
command. For a few cases of the future after verbs of will or desire, see 18fl0.
1999, Verba siBnifyioR to hope, erpert. promise, threaten, and nvear, wben
followed by the aorist (less often the present] infinitive (1868), have the con-
struction of verbs of will or desire. When such verba take the future infiDitivB
they have the construction of indirect discourse.

■448 SYNTAX OF THE SIMPLE SENTENCE [J013
F. Infinitive in Commands, Wishes, and Exdamationa
3013. Infinitive In Commands. — The infinitive may be used for tbe
second person of the imperative. The person addressed is regarded
as the subject. This inhnitive is eommoner in poetry ^han in prose
(where it tias a. solemn or formal force),
tapffur rvr, &i6ii.ijSn, trl Ipibtavi /lAxt'Bai isilh good ctivrage note, Dtomed,

b. The InSnltlve for tlie third pereon of ttie imperBtive often ocean in legal
language (laws, trentles, etc.), and does not necesaarily depend on the principal
verb. Thus, frii di tlrat rat sraySii rtrr^Korra and the treaty shall continue for
fifty years T. 5. 18. In this construction the infinitive has the force of an InOni-
tive dependent on llofc (i{ inas voted that) or the like. So in medical language,
u *tmr It uSdip it is well for the patient to driitk mattr Hippocraws 1. 161.
C. Tbe infinitive (with subject accusative) is rarely used for the third person
ot the imperative when there is an unconacions ellipais of a word like Sbt grant,
or ttx'l'^' 1 pray. Thus, rtix" o-DX^o-ai ttupira nlXii itl p^(, ffu^u U ettaf

Here no definite verb can Ik supplied.
a. The nominative with the infinitive (fnatead of tbe optative) after ai lif
occurs in Homer (1, 311. a, 378).
2015. Infinitive in ExcUmations. — The infinitive is often used in
exclamations of surprise or indication. The subject stands in the
accusative.
liU wnStit rdtt that I should sufier this t A. Earn. 837, roiovrori rp/^r utra to

SYNTAX OF THE SIMPLE SENTENCB [mjI
OOHBTRTJCTIONS OF THB INFINITIVE WITH VERBS OP hindering
2038. Yerbs signifying (or suggesting) to hinder take both the
simple infinitive and the aiticular infinitive. Such verbs may take
the strengthening but redundant negative /«J (2739) ; and some,
when themselves negatived or appearing in a question expecting a
negative answer, admit the addition of tlie sympathetic ov (2742).
Heuce we have a variety of constructions (described in 2744 ff.)
THE PARTICIPLE
3039. The paiticiple (jtxroxti participation) is a verbal adjective,
in part a verb, in part an adjective.
3040. The participle is like a verb herein :
«. It slows Llie disLiiictions of voice and tense, lu tenaea mark action
simp)]' occurring, continuing, and completed.
b. It can have an object in the same case (genitive, dative, accoaative) u
tbe finite (onus.
C. It In modified by adverbs, not b; adjeclives.
d. It may take Sr, and, wltli that panicle, repreaenU dr with the IndicadTe
or Ar nitb the optative (1846 ft.).
aou. The participle shows its adjectival nature by being inflected
and b^ admitting the article before it, both of which chatacteri stirs
give it the character of a noun. It follows tbe rules of agreement
like other adjectives (1020). Unlike tbe adjective, it represents &
quality in action (ep. 1857),
2043. The participle is always used in connection with a substan-
tive or a substantive pronoun, which may be contained in a verbfti
form, as SuiyDun iiav€ayovm they spend tlieir time in learning.
2043. The tenses of the participle (except the future) not in
indirect discourse are timeless, and denote only stage of action
(1872). When they stand in indirect discourse and represent the
indicative, they denote time relatively to that of the main verb.
3044. The future participle marks an action as in prospect at the
time denoted by the leading verb. Since it expresses an idea of
wiU, it shows that an action is purposed, intended, or expected.
Witli the article it denotes the person or thing likdy (or able) to do
something (= fuXAuv with inf. 1959). The nearest approach to mere
futurity ap[)ears in f^eneral only after verbs of knowing and j>en!eit>-
ing (2106, cp. 2112 b).

ytf i^tf, for I knew that t thovldioi muH) die H. Aiii,4au (cp. SlOfl).
aCMS. The negative of the participle is oi, except when the parti-
ciple has a general or conditional force, oi- occurs in a sentence which
requires ^i}. See 2728.
a046. The participle has three main uses.
A. Attributive : as an attributive to a substantive.
B. Circumstantial (or Adverbial) : denoting some attendant cir-
cumstance and qualifying the main verb like an adverbial phrase or
clause.
C. Supplementary : as a supplement to a verbal predicate, which,
without such a supplement, would be incomplete.
2047. The circumstantial and supplementary participles are predi-
cate participles.
2048. The attributive and clrcamstantial partlciplee are commonlj not
necemary to the comtrucllon ; but the removal of a supplementary participle
may make the conatructlon incomplete. The circumatantial participta is used
by way of apposition to the subject of the verb and, though strictly predicative,
nay agree attributively with a noun or pronoun. An attributive participle may
be circumstantial, aa el ftij ividtttm iiartMirat rtiw iSir irvKT4ptaaar drirm thote
mho (i.e. if any) uere unable to complete the march patxed the night teflhout
food X. A. 4. 5. 11. A participle may be both circumstantial and supplementary,
a» dtuntwriK Spylt^mu (T. 1. 77) thev are enraged ni being wronged or bccaute
(when, If) tAey are wronged. CircumHtantial and supplementary participlea
often cannot be sharply diatinguiahed ; as wttb verba signifying to be angiy,
a^utmed, content, pleaind (2100), inferior to, do wrong (2101), endvre (2098),
come and go (2099). Thus, dSiKi^TaDra Tai<3r I do wrong in doing thi* oi I am
gvQtg in doing Ihig: in the first case raDra miur Is appoaitive to the subject
nf the verb ; in the second these words define the predicate idjeotive Atunt oon>
tained in dJicA (s: diucd tt/ii).
THE ATTRIBUTIVE PARTICIPLE
aota The attributive partdciple (with any modifier), with or with-
out the article, modifies a substantive like any other adjective.

the position ol an attributive participle with its modifiers, see 1106.
2050. TTie substantive with vrhich the attributive participle (with the arti-
cle) agrees directly, may be omitted, the participle thus becoming a subatantlve

THE CIHCUMSTANTtAL PARTICIPLE
2054. The circumstantial participle is added, without the article,
to a, QOUQ or pronoun to set forth some circumstance under which
an action, generally the main action, takes place.
a. Tbe eircutnstantial participle thus quaiiflea the principal varb of the seik-
tence like an adverbial clause or supplementary predicate. Cp. tirri raSra dwt
M6t] THE CIRCUMSTANTIAL PARTICIPLE 467
tffleneaMi Ite taid with yt\&r tJwt he taid langhtnglt/. Sach participles usually
have the force of Buboidlnate clauses added to the maiu verb by conjunctions
denotiiig timt, condition, ciiiiae, etc. ; but may often be rendered by adverbial
phrases or even by a separate fiaita verb, which brlogB out distinctly the idea
latent in the participle.
b. The circumstantial participle has no article. In agreement with a nouD
and ita article, it stands before the article or after the noun (_i.e. iu the
predicate position). By the agreement of the participle with a noun or pro-
noon, the predicate of the sentence 1h more exactly dedned.
2055. The circumstantial participle has two main eoiiHtnictions
each equivalent in meaning to a clause of time, cmidition, cause, etc,
2096. (I) The subject of the participle is identical with the noun
or pronoun subject or object of the leading verb, and agreeK with it
in gender, number, aud case.
(aJ irfpwxoi) \tir6rrti t^» 6Sic iptiyorm iXlyai iwitrf/rKn by leaving th€ road"
and making off only a fein were killed X. A. 4. 2. 7, rpvrtielia.rrtt KipuK^ rikipitr
wpttpeOwra hnving tent a herald in advance to proclaim year T, 1. 26.
3097. (II) Absolute participial clauses, in which a participle,
aJid not a Suite verb, forms the predicate. These are of two kinds.
aOBS. A. Oenitive Absolute. — A pai-ticjple agreeing in the genitive
with its own subject, which is not identical with the subject of the
leading verb, is said to stand in the genitive absolute. Cp. 20T0.
KSpot intuit M ri i^ aMoAi taMttrm Cyrna atcended the mountains v^thovt
OBIF ont preventing him X. A. 1. 2. 22.
N. — The English nominative absolute is represented by the Greek genitive
ftbsolnte. Cp. Tennyson : " we sitting, ail I said, the cock crew loud" = i/n&r
lafiilltiwvt, trip (Xryor, lUya ^rtr i iXtirpaiir,
2099. B. AcctiaatlTe Absolute. — When the participle has no defi-
nite subject (i.e. with impersonal verbs), the accusative absolute is
used instead of the genitive absolute. Cp. 2076.
tf-vtiifa* T^i rarpl mI tJ /iTp-pi ya/ai r^r Kunjdpoi' ffvyaripa on tht approval
of (lit. it geeming good to) hia father and mother he married the datighter of
Cfoxaret X. C. 8. 5. 28.
aOGO. The circumstantial participle expresses simply circumstance
or manner in general. It may imply ''arinns other relations, such as
time, manner, means, cause, purpose, concession, condition, etc. But it
is often impossible to assign a participle exclusively lo any one of
these relations (which are ])iire]y logical), nor can all the delicate
relations of the participle be set forth in systematic form.
2061. Time. — The time denoted by the participle is only relative to that
nf the governing verb, and is to be inferred from the context. Each participial
form iu itself eipressee only stage of action (1850).

2069. The force of these circnmstantlal participles does not lie in the par-
ticiple itself, bat Is derived from the conlezt. Unless attended by some
modi^ing adverb, the context often does not decide whether the participle has
a temporal, a causal, a conditional, a concessive force, etc. ; and aome partlcl'
plea may bo referred to more than one of the above classes. Thus, rariip f

(=t(A«n or because or (for though, he threatens) does not excite much fear.
GBHITIVB ABSOLUTE. ACCUSATIVE ABSOLUTE
3070. GenltlTe Absolute- — A circumstantial pai-tlciple agreeing
with a geoitive aaan or pronoun which ia not in the main conetruc-
tion of the aeutence, stands in the genitive absolute. Like other cir-
cumstantial participles, the genitive absolute expresses time, cause,
TOndition, concession, or simply any attendant circumstance.
a. Time: tbUt' twpix^l ^^"""^ ""'P'^rrnoBiTtt these things jorre effected while

3072. The genitive of the participle may stand without its noun
or pronoun
a. When the noun or pronoun may easily be supplied from tbe context.
Thus, Dl ii raX^tudi, rpoaiirrair (r^v 'EXX^rwr, prcTtou^y mentioned), Wwt ith

tbe genitive rather than tbe accusative absolute : ourut Ix'rTBi in thit Matt of
thing* P. R. 381 c, influenced by o^ui ixirrar X. A. 3. 1. 40.
c. When a subordinate clauae with 6ti fellows upiiii the participle tn tbe
passive. Thus, hayytX^irrun Sri *olnraai r^ hr airrait wXlavtir it having

that the salvation of the Greeks depended on their navg 1.74, The plural is
used when the eubjecl; of the subordinate clause is plural, or when severtl
cirouiDstancee are mentioned.
3073. Exceptional ty, the subject of the genitive absolute is the same u
that of Ihe main clause. The effect of this irregular constmctiun is to emphaNiw
the idea contained in the genitive absolute. 'I'bus, pi>riSi)admi>i bfi&r irpoM/im
ir*Xi» Ttpoa\ti/ivet nvTitbr (x<"»«' »i^n \( you atsit tw heartily, yuu will gai*
to gour cause a Slate having a large nary 'I'. 3. 13, The genitive abaoluu ngualty
precedes the main verb.
a. The genitive absolute may be used where the grammatical constniction
demands the dative. Thus, Sia^fititiTot nifutXiovt . . . fyyiKSii air^ tri Hf^f*
iipisTrtict when Pericles hail already cros'fd over, neics jons hromjht to htm ihul

b. The subject of the genitive absolute may hf idemlcal wicU tbe object ol
tlie leading verb; i)\»e» hri t<|» 'Ewltavpor ui ipiiieu oSffiji . . . alpfvarrti thef

Into herein : 1. The aabjeot need not be eipreised (9072). 2. Tlie subject man
■ppe«r [d Uie leading clause (2073 a). 3. With a aubetantive the participle fir
is always added Id prose, wheraas Latin has to omit the particlpli;. Thus, nai-
tar trntr iifiXit nobit pueris F.S. lT3a. On tiuit inorret me invito, see 20TI.
i. Because it baa a present participle paaeive and an aoriat nnd perfect participle
active, Greek can use tbe genitive abeolule where Latin, tbrnugh lack of a past
participle active, bas to use a clause nilh dum, cum, etc. 'I'buB. 6\tp t^i r6\twt

ntm puer ritiMtl. Latin usea tbe abeoluLe case more frequently than Oreek
because it employs the perfect participle passive where Greek utiea the aorlsl
participle active. Thus, KGpoi auyiia}J<iat to6i arpaTtiyoiii lirtr Cl/rus, eonvo-
fatis ducibnt, dixit X. A. 1. 4. 8.
3075. The genitive absolute took its rise from such casea as Za/n-i{Sam f
tx»t tim-o rxo^iau iwiirrot but torrow came on Sarpedon for Glaacas — de-
partinff H 892. The genitive, here properly dependant on A^b' li""' cuaaed to
be felt OS dependent on the governing ezpreesion, and was extended, as a distinct
(v>nstrucUon, to cases in which tbe Jtoveming expression did not take the
genitive. Cp. tbe development of the accusative with the infinitive (1981).
2076. AccuMtiTe AbMlute. — A participle standa in the accusative
absolute, instead of the genitive, when it is impersoDal, or has an
intinitive as its subject (as under 0). When impersonal, such par-
ticiples have Qo apparent grammatical connection with the rest of
the seDtonce.

take the participle. When Uiey denote Intellectual perception they may take
the participle or ffri or wi with a Anile verb. (Tlie Homeric usage is less strict.)
3111. Such verba are, in Attic, ipA see, ataM*o|iai perceive, Ajcoia hear.
a. Hot in Indirect DUcoone. — Here verhe of perceiving denote phftteal per-
ception— Ibe act perceived or heard of . With diodw and rurMiofui the participle
stands In the genitive ; with oJvMfVfiai it usualJy stands in the accDsative (aa
with ifa), but someUmes in the geniUve. (See 1361, 1367.)

mark tiie mental attitude of the subject of the main verb or of some
other person mentioned prominently in the sentence (cp. 2086^;
sometimes, to denote emphasis, when that mental attitude is already
clearly marked.

REMARKS ON SOUK USES OF PARTICIPLES
THE PARTICIPLE ■WITB av
2146. The participle with dr represents the indicative with S,v
(17S4 ff.) or the potential optative with ov (1824). The present par-
ticiple with Sy thuB represents either the imperfect iDdicative with
ay or the present optative with Sv; the aorist participle with Sy rep-
resents either the aorist indicative with an or the aorist optative
with Sy. Cp. 1845 ff.
KEMARKS ON SOME USES OP PARTICIPLES
2147. The abundance of its participles is one of the characteristic
features of Greek. Their use gives brevity to the sentence (cp,
2050), enabling the writer to set forth in a word modifications and
amplifications of the main thought for which we require cumbersome
relative clauses. But an excessive use of participles, especially in
dose conjunction, marked a careless style.
«. The participle may contain the leading thought, the finite verb the subor-
dioate thongbt, of a sentence. Tbtu, ri f it^Hrtia tbvto ypi^u . . . rail Spttut

VERBAL ADJECTIVES IN -^tot
On rerbal adjectives in -rds, -nj, -riv, see 426 o, 472, 473.
2149. Verbal adjectives in -riot express necessity. They admit
two coDStructions :
1. The personal conBtruction {-riot, -ria, -rmv), passive in meaning,
and emphasizing the subject
2. The (more common) impersonal construction (-rcov, Tf'a, 1052),
practically active in meaning, and emphasizing the action.
Both constructions are used with the copula ci/u, which may be
omitted. The agent — the person on whom the necessity rests —
is expressed, it at all, by tlie dative (never by inri and the
genitive).

verbal stands in the neuter nominative, usually aingular (-t«ov),
rarely plural (-r<'a). Its object stauds in the case (genitive, dative,

is derived; verbs taking the genitive or dative have the impersonal
construction only. The agent, if expressed, must always stand in

COORDINATION AND SUBOUDINATION
COMPOUND AND COMPLEX SENTENCES
COORDINATION AND SUBORDINATION
ZU9. All sentences other thiin simple sentences B.re formed by
combining simple sentences either by coordination or subordination.
am. Coordination produces compound sentences, subordination
produces complex sentences. Complex sentences have been devel-
oped out of coordinate independent sentences, one of which has been
subordinated in form, as in tliought, to ajiother.
3161. Comparative Gramnuu' shows that, hlsUdcally, coordination was pre-
ceded by liniple juxtapoeltion and followed by aubordl nation. Tbus the simplest
form of assocUtIng the two ideas niyht fell and (Ae entviy departed was t^f tfi-
trro- ot TdU/uei dr^Xftit (or in reverse order). From this was developed a
closer connection by means of coordinating conjunctions, e.g. r>{ {iiir) tyfrero, el
Si ToMfusi liir^XAiv or ol Si tdU>uo> irijXBfii ■ ri( iyinro (or rd£ y&p tyirrro), or
wi( tyfrrre col ol voX^/uoi dirQXAir. Finally it was recognized that one of Uiese
Ideu WHS a mere ezplination, definition, or supplement of the otiier, and henc«
dependent or subordinate. This stage Is represented b; the complex sentence:
twtl (St() f^ tyirtTB, U iro\inm dtr^Xfot or r^f iyii^a, Am ol toX/;u« dv^XAx,
and ao on to express various other relations. Since Greek inherited from the
parent Indo-European language both the subordinate and tlie coi)rdlnal« sen-
tence, it muBt be clearly understood that tbe above examples of the process of
development of sent«nce-bnilding, though taken from Qreek, illustrate an earlier
period of the history of language than Greek as we have it. Though it may be
po«8ible to reconstruct the form of the earlier, coordinate sentence out of the
latfi, labordlaale sentence, and though we have examples of panillet coordinate
and mbordinate sentences in Greek, the subordinate sentence did not in Greek
regnlvij' go through the previous stages of simple juxtaposition and coordina-
tion. A aabordinBt« construction produced by analogy to another subordinate
COnSLmctlon may not be resolved into the coordinate form.
SYNTAX OF THE COMPOUND SENTENCE
3U3. A compound sentence consists of two or more simple sen-
tences, grammatically independent of one another and generally
united by a codrdinating conjunction. Thus, r^ & vartpoMf impnai^o Stk
rro rt&iau | kui | TiaaaifiipvTp c'lriTo but on the next day they proceeded
through the plain and Tusaphemes kept following them X. A. 3. 4. 18.
a. Abbreviated compound sentences, i.e. sentences containing a compound
mbject with a single verbal predicate or a single subject with a compound verbfcl
predicate, are trent«d in this book as expanded simple sentences (J»23, 1)24).
2U3. Greek has, amon^ others, the following coordinating con-
junctions, the uses of which in coiHiecting spntieiiees, clauses, phrases,
and single words are described under I'artic.les.
A. Copulative conjunctions : t{ (enclitic), ku and, rl . t^ ri . .

C. Disjunctive conjunctions : ■)} or, yj . . . ij eUJier . . . or, Mt . . .

D. Inferential conjunctions: Spa then, accordingly, oSv thereforf,

Toivw now, then, raiyip (poetic), rwydprot, roiyapovf ao then, therefore.
E. Causal conjunction : yip for.
2164. Compound sentences are divided into Copulative, Adversa-
tive, Disjunctive, Inferential, and Causal sentences.
ASYNDETON
3169. Two or more sentences (or words) independent in form and
Ehought, but juxtaposed, i.e. coordinated without any connective, are
asynd^ie (from AaivStTov nof bound together), and such absence of con-
nectives is called axyndeion.
a. The abBeuce of coniiectiveB in a language so rich In raeaas of coordination
as is Greek ia more striking tUan in other languages. Graramatieal asyndetoa
cannot always be separated from rhetorical asyndeton. Grammatical asyndeloa
Ih Uie absence of a conjunction where a coDoective might have been used witb-
ODt marked liiBuence on the character of the thongbt ; as especially in explao*-
torj sentences (often after a preparatory word, usually a demonstrative) which
take up the matter just Introduced ; also where, in place of a ctAijunctioii. a
resumptive word, such as vErot, Toieth-ot, Tooaurat, iimiBa, dvtu, etc. , fa employed.
Rhetorical asyndeton is the absence of a conjunction where the following
sentence contains a distinct advance in the thou|;ht and not a mere fnnnaj
explanation appended to the foreguiiig sentence. Rhetorical osyndeluii gentrallj
expresses emotion of some sort, acid is the mark of livelinesa, rapidity, passion,
or impressivenesa, of thought, each idea being set forth separately and distinctly.
Thus, otx iiri^^t: tin <i)iit; ait itdSaproi; b6 avuo^rriji \ u he not irafitoiuf

SYNTAX OF THE COMPLEX SENTENCE
2173. A complex sentence consists of a principal sentence and
one or more subordinate, or dependent, senteiicea. The principal
sentence, as each subordinate sentence, has its own subject and
predicate. The principal sentence of a complex sentRuce is called
the principal clause, the subordinate sentence is called the subordi-
nate clause. The principal clause may precede or follow the sub-
unlinato clause.
aT*. The principal clause may have any form of the simple sen-
»«nce,
a. Parenthetes belonging to the thought of the entire eeiilence, bat atandiug
In no close grammaiical relation to it, count as principal clauses. So ol/iot,

baeteh thee ; rSn (rio-or) itntU ; and xut otei ; in the comic poela and Euripide*,
ecc Some of thew expressions are almost adverbial.
3175. The subordinate clause is always introduced by a subor-
dinating conjunction, as (i if, iirtl since ov Kheji, on that, toit until, ete.
2176. A finite mood in a subordinate clause mav be influenced by
the tense of the principal clause. If the verb of the principal dausa
stands in a secondary tense, the verb of the subordinate clause is
often optative instead of indicative or subjunctive, &a it would have
be«n after a primary tense. Dependence of mood after a secondary
tense is never indicated by the subjunctive.
2177. Elach tense in a subordinate clause denotes stage of action ;
the fime is only relative to that of the leading verb. A subordinate
clause may be marked by change of person in verb and pronoun.
3178. A subordinate clause in English may be expressed in Greek
by a predicate adjective or substantive. Cp. 11G9, 2G47.
2179. A subordinate clause may be coordinate in structure.

codldloatlng clause: tl S' tiitU fXXo n yriifirSt, S >l4 '/'h'ti, rtr atarS' alh^r

2180. A clause dependent upon the principal clause may itself be
followed by a clause dependent upon itself (a sub-dependent clause).

ANTICrPATION (OR PBOLBPSIS)
3162. The subject of tlie dependent clause is often actioipated
and made the object of theyerb of the principal clause. This trans-
ference, which gives a more prominent place to the subject of the
subordinate clause, is called anticipation ov prolepsis (n-poX^K taking
before).

a. Anticipation Is especially common after verbs of saying, seeing, hearing.

a substantive. Its subject may pass into the principal clause as a geaitive depend-

ASSIMILATION OF MOODS
ASSIMILATION OF HOODS
2183. The mood of a subordiuate elauBe which is intimately con-
nected with the thought of the clause on which it depends, ia often
assimilated to the mood of that clause. Sitch subordinate clauses
may be simply dependent or aub.dependent (2180).
a. This idiom Is moat marked in Unreal and Less Virid Future conditions
where the mood ot the protasis is the same u that of the principal clsase. It
is also very conimoii when a past indicative or an optative aMracta t^emood of a
subordinate clause introduced by a relative word referring to indetlnlt« persons
or things or to an indefinite time or place. But subordinate clauses standing in
a less close relation to the main clause, bccnuse they do not continue the same
mental attitude but present a new shade of thought, retain their mood unassiml-
IsEed ; e.ff. a relative clause, or a temporal clause expressing purpose, alter an
unreal condition may stand in the optative (la 4. 11, P. R. 000 e). On the other
hand, there are many cases where the writer may, or may not, adopt modal
assimilation without any great difference ot meaning. The following sections
give the chief occurrences of mood-assimilation apart from tbat found in Unreal
and I«sn Vivid Future condlUons (2302, 2329) :
2184. An indicative referring simply to the present or past
remains unassimilated.

2185. Aaalmilation to the Indicative. — The subordinate clause takes
a past tense of the indicHtive in dependence on a past tense of the
indicative (or its equivalent) denoting unreality.

2. Adjectival (attributive) clauses: in which the subordinate
clause plays the pail; of an adjective, and contains a relative whose
antecedent (expressed or implied) stands in the principal clause;

3. Adverbial clauses : in which the suboi-dinate clause plays the
part o£ an adverb or adverbial expression modifying the principal
clause in like.manner as an adverb modifies a verb.

2190. Accordingly all complex sentences may be classified as Sub-
stantival sentences, Adjectival sentences, and Adverbial sentenc*^.
This division is, in general, the basis of the treatment of complex
sentences in this book, exwpt when, for convenience, closely con-
nected constructions are treated together ; as in the case of (adverb-
ial) pure final clauses and (substantival) object clauses after verlts
of effnrt and ai fearing.
a. Some BeTitences may be daaned both aa subetantival and adverbial, aa
claiiHes with ^r( and trot. An adverbial or adjectival clause may aasame a
eubeMntival character (2247, 2488).
Complex sentences are considered in the following order: Ad-
verbial, Adjectival, Substantival.

PURPOSE CLAUSES
ADVERBIAL COMPLEX SENTENCES (2193-2467)
ZISL In an adverbial complex sentence the subordinate clause
ileiiotes some one of the following adverbial relations: purpose
lL*19;i), cause (2240), I'esult (2249), conditiou (21^80), concession
l^l';«>0), time (2^83), comparison (2462).
3192. An adverbial sentence is inttoduced by a relative conjnno
tioD deaoting purjxise, cause, result, etc.
PURPCSE CLAUSES (FINAL CLAUSES)
2193. Final clauses denote purpose and are introduced by iva,
amai, its in order thnt, that (Lat. ul) ; negative ino /*ij, oimn /iij, in fi.^,
and ^if alone, lent (Lat. ne).
a. A\»o by <^p», strictly while, viitil, in Epic and Lyric ; and I«t in Epic
(2118). Ih ia the chief floal conjunction in Arislophanea. HurodotiiH, Plato,
and the oratora. It is the oniy purely flnal conjunction in tliat It does not limit
ihe idea of purpose by the idea of time (lilia t^ipa and fut), or of manner (lilie
owitt and wt); and therefore never takes ir {nit'), since the purpose is regarded
an free from all coiiditioiiH (2201 b). &vut is the chief finnl conjunction in
ThucydideB, and in Xenophon (slightly more common than Tn). ^ often shows
the original meaning in which wig, hme, at (cp. 2578, 2i)89). It la rare in prose,
txcept in Xenophon, and does not occur on inscriptions ; rare in Aristophanes,
but common in tragedy, eHpeclaliy in Euripides. jiVj is very rare in prose, except
in Xenophon and Plato (|ii| i>i is very rare in Homer and in Attic: X. M. 2. 2. U).
b. In onUr that no une ia In (etc.) (iiiJclt or fii} rit, fn order that . . . never
is Ira (etc.) ii^troTt Or /tij wort, and in order that . . . not ia )niif after >nf,
2194. Final clauees were developed from original coordination.

Attic, where subordination is regular, the original fonn of coi'irdi nation can be
I* theoretically) restored, as in gal nt rpdt . . . 0iCit ItraC/uu ii.ii rpoSoin i^^St yirji
ami I entreat thee bg the gods \ do not forsake us S. Aj, 588. We can no longer
trace lite original coordination with Tm and ui.
2199. A final clause stands in apposition to rovrov iviKa m- h-a roOro
expressed or understood. Thus, iKKkrinidv tovtou iviita tuvrrfayov oirius
vwotivtjtni J have convent^ ail aaseiiMy for this reason that I may remind
you T. 2. 60. Here rovrm' o^ica might be omitted.
3196. The verb of a final clause stands in the subjunctive after
an introductory primary tense, in the optative (sometimes in the
subjunctive, 2197) after a secondary tense.

3197. After a secondary tense, the subjunctive may be used in
place of the optative.
a. In the narration of post events, the subjunctive sets forth a peraon's prp-
Tlooa purpose in the form in whlcb lie conceived bis purpose. Thus (tA rX»ift)
'Apptniii&t . . . Karimwrtr tm fiii KOpat Iio^g Abroeomat hnrned the boat* in

in a kind of quotation.
N. — Tbucydldee and Herodotus prefer this vivid subjunctive; tbe poet*,
nato, and Xenopbon, the optative. In Demosthenes, the subjunctive and opta-
tive are equally common.
b. When tbe purpose (or its effect) Is represented as still continnlng in tbe
present. See the example in 2105, Tliia use is closely connected with a.
c. After li oi, rl oSv oi, and tbe aorist indicative : r( oSi oAx' r^ t'^r rttxt

2198, The alternative construction of final clauses with subjunctive or opta-
tive is that of implicit indirect di«;ourse (2322). Tbe subjunctive la always
possible instead of the optativt. Observe that the subjunctive for the optativ*
is relatively post, since the leading verb is post,
3199, After a secondary tense both subjunctive and optative may
be used in the same sentence.

that tense implies a reference to the past as well as to the present.

X. A. 2. G. IS. This use must not be confused with ut ir in conditional relative
clausea (S6d6). — Snt L* is more common than aimple Arwt in Aristophanes and
Plato, far less common In Xenophon. It is regular in oCQcial and legal laagnage.
— Ii« Kv is not flnal, but local (leherever, 2507). The original meaning of Ira
waa local and denoted tbe end to be reached.
b. ir (^Kf) does not appreciably affect the meaning. Orl^naliy these particles
seem to have had a limiting and conditional force (1T62) : in ii in whatever

2205. By assimilation of mood, final clauses may take a past
tense of tiie Indicative without av (2185 c) or the optative without
Jv (218tjc.)
2306. Equivalents of a Final Clause. — The common methods of
expressing purpose may be illustrated by the translations (in Attic)
of they sent a herald to armoance :

For wore denoting an intended result, see 2267.
OBJECT CLAUSES
2207. Two types of object (substantival) clauses are closely con-
nected in construction with final clauses.
1, Object clauses after verbs of effort.
2. Object clausea after verbs ot fearing.
Both stand iu apposition to a demonstrative expressed or implied.

2aoa Connection of Final with Object CUnaeo. — (1) Pinal olatiBes
proper denote a purpose to accompliBti or avert a result, which puT'
pose is set forth in a definite action. (2) Object clauses after verbs
of effort consider means to accomplish or avert a result; the action
of the subordinate clause is the object pvrpoaed. Such clauses are
incomplete final cUuses, because, though the purpose ia expressed,
the action taken to effect the purpose is not expressed. (3) Object
clauses after verbs of fnarivg deprecate an undesired result or express
fear that a desired result may not be accomplished. According to
the form of expression employed, the construction of these three
kinds of clauses may differ in varying; degree or be identical. Thus
compare these usages of Attic prose :
(1) wnftaxaXfi lirpov orat^ pij i.iro6a.vg (common)

OBJECT CLAUSES WITH VERBS OF FEABIKG
2221. Object clauses after yerbs of fear and caution are intro-
duced hy fii; that, lest (Lat. ne), foi oC thai . . . not, lest . . . not (Lat
ut = ne non).
a- Mif clausee denote a fear that something mag or might happen ; ^^ t^
clauseB denote a fear that something may not or might not happen. Obsem
that the verb is negatived by oi and not by /ii), which eipresBea an apprehendon
that the result will take place, /lii is Hometimes, for convenience, tiwislaled by
vAether; hut it is not an Indirect interrogativB in such casea.
2222. The constniction of )t^ after verbs ol fearing has been developed from
an earlier cuilrdinate construction In which /ti) was not a conjunction (that, lest)
bnt a prohibitive particle. Thus, StlSw ^i{ n vi^irtr (A 470) I fear lest he man
tuffer aught was developed from / fear + nin|t he not suffer aught (1802) ;
^Xai4 Jl' rtt . . . Uni, ii^ XixBi f^^A^vrt ti\tr (6 &2I) but M there be a
guard, lest an ambugh enter the eitg, where the clause ii4 — tUthSfci meant origi-
nally nia|r an ambush not enter. Here iti expreues the desire to avert Bom«-
tfaing (negative desire).
a. When a4 b^d twcome a pure conjunction of subordination. It was uwd
even with the indicative and with tlie optative vritb dr. Some scholara regard
fi4 with the indicative as standing for ipa ni (hence an indirect interrogative).
Observe that the character of fii[ after verbs of fearing is different from thai in
final clauses, though the construction is the same in both cases.
2223. For the use of the subjunctive, without a verb of fearing, witta /ii),
see 1801, IS02; with /(4 of see 1801, with nd fii) see 1804.
2324. Verbs and expressions of fear are : ^peS|uu, SAoina or Blt««, TSfffi,

SYNTAX OF THE COMPLEX SENTENCE
RESULT CLAUSES (CONSECUTIVE CLAUSES)
2249. A clause of result denotes a consequence of what is stated
in the principal clause.
32S0. Result clauses are introduced b^ the relative word ion
(rarely by is) as, thai, so that. In the principal clause the demon-
strative words oorus thnu, roumrin siich, twoGtw SO great, are often
expressed, laan is from oi; and the connective ri, which has lost its
meaning.
a. To a clftUHe with ovren, etc. Herodotus Bomelimes- adds a clause eilhet
with ri or without a connective, where Attic would employ Orn ; cp. S. 18.
2251. There are two main forms of result clauses : aart with the
infinitive and Zirrt with a Unite verb. With the infinitive, the nega-
tive is generally /i-Q ; with a finite verb, of. On the use in indirect
discourse and on irregulaiities, see 2759.
2252. Consecutive in occure almoat always with the inSnttlTe (cbleDj in
Herodotus, Xenopbon, Aeschylus, and Sophocles) ; with a finite verb occwion-
ally In Herodotus and Xenophon. With the infinitive, the orators and llia-
cydidBB (except T. 34) have Aart.
2293. Consecutive Oar* (ut) with a finite verb doe« not occur in Homer,
who uBGs coSrdinntiuD instead (cp. if in A 10). Two cases of Si n occur with
the Influitive (I 42 ; ^21 may mean and to'), where the infinitive might stand
alone, since Homer uses the infinitive to denote an intended or possible result.
2254. A clause with cucm and the infinitive is merely added to the
clause containing the main thought in order to explain it. The con-
sequence is stated without any distinction of time and only with
difference of stage of action.
a. Since the Infinitive ezprceses merely the abstract verbal Idea, Ita use with
bvTt (as with T/ilr) outside of indirect discourse cannot ezpllcttly denote a fact.
By lis datival nature (1069), the Iiiflnitire is simply a complement to, or expla-
nation of, the governing word, ivrt Is one of the means to reinforce this explana-
tory office of the inflnllJve. The origin of lis use is suggested by the compariton
with Scai ivfflflent for, oFsi capable of (200S) and the infinitive, which was not
orif^iaally dependent on these words.
2255. A clause with bxrrc and a finite verb contains the main
thought, and is often ao loosely connected with the leading verb as to
be practically indepetident and coordinate, uxrre may thus be simply
introductory and take any const ruction found in an independent sen-
tence. The consequence expresses distinctions of time and stage
of action.
22SG. Besult may also be expressed by relative clauses (2566).
RESULT CLAUSES
2257. A clause of result with utrrt statiog that something actually
occurred a« a fact must be expressed by the indicative.
2258. A clause of result with iiirT€ stating that something may
occur in consequence of an intention, tendency, capacity, and in gen-
eral in consequence of the nature of an object or action, is regiilarly
expressed by the infinitive. When a consequence is stated without
affirming or denying its actual occurrence, the infinitive ia in place.
The infinitive may therefore denote a fact, but does not explicitly
state this to be the case ; and is, in general, permissible in all cases
where the att^nment of the result is expected, natural, or possible,
and its actual occurrence is not emphasized ; as it ia emphasized by
the indicative.
a. AttTt with llie Infliilltvs doea not Blat« a particular fact The Infinitive U
preferred in cUueea containing or Implying a negative. Hart with the indicative
i« preferred alter tit Tsfra ^m and like phrases when affirmative (cp. S26u, 'iSM,
2274).
2259. This difference may be illustrated by examples.

2260. The infinitive with &rrt denotes an anticipated or possible
result; but the actual occurrence of the result is not stated, and is to
be inferred only. The negative is jiij, but oi is used when the &nt
clause depends on a clause itself subordinate to a verb of saying or
thinking (2269). Cp. 2759.

CONDITIONAL CLAUSES
2280. A condition is a supposition on which a statement is based.
A conditional sentence commonly consists of two clauses :
The protasis ; the conditional, or subordinate, clause, expressing a
supposed or assumed case ((/*).
The apodosis : the conclusion, or principal clause, expressing what
follows if the condition is realized. The truth or fulfilment of the
conclusion depends on the truth or fulfilment of the conditional
clause.
a. The protasis has Ita name from wpirMii, tit. Ktretching forward, that wMeA
i* pvt foraard (In logic, a premise) ; the apodosis, from drUoa-if, lit. giving
back, return; I.e. the returning or antteering clause.
a2BL The protasis usually precedes, but may follow, the apodosis.
2282. The protasis is introduced by tt if.
a. Homer has also at, which is an Aeollc (and Doric) form.
2283. With the subjunctive mood, cl commonly takes Sm (Epie a
K< or ci Kcv, not lav).
a. There are three forme, Mv, {{v, 4v. Hr Is the ordinary fonn In Au'e
prose and inscriptions ; Ifr appears In Ionic and in the older AtUo wriiera (Ui»
tragic poets and Thueydldes) ; ir, geaerally in the later wriiers (someUmea tiv
gether with Hr), very rarely In Attic inscriptions. In Plato Jv is commoner
than Mr. Xenopbon has all three forms.
b. 4* is from tl 4 ir, it from 4 (anotlier form of tf) + tr. Tbe Mymidogy
of Mr la uncertain i either from 4 -(- Ir or from <f -t- iiL
i,,Coog[c
iisg] CONDITIONAL CLAUSES 513
aaM. The particle Sy is used in the apodosis ; (1) with the opta-
tive, to denote possibility (cp. 1824) ; (2) with the past tenses of the
indicative, to denote either the uoo-fulfalment of the condition (1786)
or, occasionally, repetition (1790).
2385. The apodosis may be introduced by Si or dXAji, less often by
avrap. See under Particles, tvv Siaa it is, aa it wtw corrects a sup-
position contrary to fact. The apodosis sometimes has rorc, rorc
&^ ovTOK (Horn. T^ comparable to Eng. tkeii, in tltat case in the con-
clusion of conditional sentences.
3286. The negative of the protasis is luj because the subordinate
clause expresses something that is cmtceived or imagined, fi^ nega^
tives the conditional clause as a wfiole. On ou adherescent in prota-
sis, see 2698.
The negatiTe of the apodosis is ot, in case the principal clanse
states the conclusion as a fact on the supposition that the protasis
is true ; foj, when the construction requires tiiat negative (2GS9).
2287. Tbe IndicatlTe, subjnnctiTe, and optotlre moods, and the participle
may stand in protasis Hud apodosis. The imperative and infinitive may be tMed
in the apodosis. The future optative is not used In conditional sentences except
in indirect discourse. The tenses in conditional senteacee, except unreal condi-
tions, liave the same force as in simple sentences.
22aa Instead of a formal conditional sentence the two members
may be simply coordinated, the protasis having the form of an
independent clause.

Cl-ASSIPICATION OF CONDITIONAL SENTENCES
A. CLASSIFTCATION ACCORDING TO FORM
2289. Conditional sentences may be classified according to /orm
or fuHCtioa (i.e. with reference to their meaning). Classified
ftccordiog to form, all conditional sentences may be arranged with
regard to the form of the protasis or of the apodosis.
Protasis: tl with the indicative.
Mr (rarely d) with the subjunctive.
tl with the optative.
Apodosis : with tr, denoting what would (nhould) be or have been.

229a Greek possesses a great variety of ways to join protasis
and apodosis, but certain types, as in English, are more common
than others and have clear and distinct meanings. In the case of
some of the less usual types the exact shade of difference cannot be
accurately known to us; as indeed to the Greeks themselvefl they
were often used with no essential difference from the conventionsl
types. In the following classification only the ordinary forms are

According to Particular or General Conditions
2293. A particnlar conditioD refers to a definite act or to several
definite acts occairing at a definite time or at definite times.
2294. A general condition refers toau; one of a series of acta
thaA may occur or may have occurred at any time.
2295. General conditions are distinguished from particular con-
ditions only in present and past time, and then only when there is no
implication as to the fulfilment of the ai^tion. General conditions
have no obligatory form, as any form of condition may refer to a rule
of action or to a particnlar act; but there are two common ty[>es of

PRESENT AND PAST CONDITIONS
First Form of Conditions
SIMPLE PRESENT AND PAST CONDITIONS
329a Simple present or past conditions simply ttaie a supposition
with no inipfication aa to its reality or probability. The prota-sis
has the indicative, the apodosis has commonly the iiidicatiye, but
also any other form of the simple sentence appropriate to tbe
thought.

Tlie truth of the concluwon depends *olely on tbe Imtb oi tbe condition, which

ia not Implied in aii7 w»7. In tbeae conditions something is suppoeed to be trae
oulf in order to draw the oonsequeacse that something else is true.
b. The conditional douse may eipreas what the writer knows is physically
impoalble. Even when the supposition U true according to the real opinimi
of the writer, this form of condition is employed. In such caaee itrtp is nfu^ii
used for n. Both tl and tlrtp BometiineB have a causal force (2246) ; cp. »l
quidem and quia.
c The simple condition is parttcolaroTgenerd. When the protasis has (f m
and the apodosia a present indicative, the simple condition has a double mean-
itig referring both to an individual case and to a rule of action. When a present
genera] condition is distinctly ezpreesed, Jli> with the subjunctive is used (2331.)
2299. There are many possible combinations of present and past
conditions with different forms of the protasis and apoilosis. Protasis
and apodosis may be in different tenses, and present and future way
l>e combined.
2300. The apodosis may be the simple indicative or any otiier
form of the simple sentence appropriate to the thought.

PHE8ENT AND PAST UNREAL CONDITIONS
2302. In present and past unreal ponditiona the protnsis impli«e
that the supposition cannot or conld not he realized because ctmtiar;
to a known fact. The apodosie states what would be or tooutd have
been the result if the condition toere or had been realized.
2303. The protasis has d with the imperfect, aorist, or plnperfect
indicative ; the apodosis has £v with these past tenses. The protasis
and apodosis may have different tenses. Unreal conditions are
either particular or general.
2304. The Imperfect refers to present time or (sometimes) to a
continued or habitual past act or state. The imperfect may be con-
ative.
cl mvra IvoUk, KoX'TIt Ay 'W(k if you vjere (now) doing thia, yon

The implied opposite is a present (AAA* oi xmcTs btU you are not
dotno IAm) or an imperfect (dAA' ovk ivouK but yon toere not doing this).
The imperfect of past time emphasizes the continuance of the
action.

The implied opposite is an aorist (JAX* ofnt irwtfmn bvt you did not

present time or to the state following on such completion.

«. The ploperfeot is used only when stress is laid on the completion ot the
■et or on the oontinuance of the result of the act, and generally refers to preeent

either tense would be noed in an afflrmatlve sentence not conditional. The pin-
perfect is commonly used whau the perfect would hsTe been used of present time.
3308. In the form of the protasis and the apodosis of unreal conditions
there is nothing that denotes unrealitjr, but, in the combination, the unreality of
the protasis is always, and that ot the apodusls geoentlly, Implied. The past
tenies ot the indicative are naed in unreal condltioos referring to preeent time,
because the speslcer's thought goes back to the past, when the realization ot the
condition was still possible, though at the time of speahing tlut reallEation is
Impoarible.

coQcluaion as more likely to be realized ; but even an impossible (2;<£2 c) or
dreaded reiiult may be expressed by thia form if Lbe speaker cbooaes to picture
tbe result vividly and distinciiy. The More Vivid Future is thus used whenever
the speaker clearly desires to be graphic, iuipressiTe, emphatic, and to anticipate
a future result with the distinctness of the preseciU
The Less Vivid Future deals with suppoBilions less distinctly conceived and
of lev immediate concern to the speaker, mere aasumed or imaginary cases.
This is * favourite construction in Greek, and is often UNed in stating supposi-
tions that are merely possible and often Impossible ; but the forui of the condi-
tion Itself does not imply an expectation ot the speaker that the conclusion may
powf&Ijf be realized. The difference between the two forms, therefore, in not an
inherent difference between prohable realization in the one case and poanOAe
realization in the other. The same tlionght may often t>e expressed In either
form without any easential difference in meaning. Tlie only difference is, there-
fore, often that of temperament, tone, or style.
a. Mr with the subjunctive and tl with the optative are rarely used in anc-
cenWe Mntences. In most such cases the difference lies merely in the degree
of distinctness and emphasis of the expression used ; but where tlie spraker
wishe* to show that the conclusion is expected or desired, be uses Mr with the
■nbjuncUve rather than the other form. Thus, tt oVr ISeitr lal tif taSiwtp roit

624 SYNTAX OF THE COMPLEX SENTENCE [3315
Modem English enbsUtales the present for the more exact, future in oidfnarj
future conditions of this class ; and often uses tliall in the protasiii with ftn emo-
tional force, Tbe Englisb present suhjiinctive, although somewhat rarely used in
the modem language, corresponds more nearly to the Greek subjunctive ("if she
be there, he shall not need " : Beaumont and Fletcher). — Since i/you do Ikit maj
be expressed in Greek by iar raiSra roif i ur tl raOra roil^cit (2^28), and by tl
ToDra null (U2HS), the diSerfnce In meaning is made clear only by the apodoais.
The form iir raiha vaipt in vivid future conditions must be distinguished from
the same form In present general conditions {(f ewr yiu do thit, 2337). iir
raCrd ir« Boti, Tolci raay be particular or general ; if (or ff ever) thU teems pood
to j/on, do it.
2325. The present subjunctive views an act as continuing (not completed);
the aorist subjunctive as simply occurring (completed). Neitlier tense has any
time of itaelf. The aorist subjunctive may mark the action of tlie protasis as
completed before the action of the principal clause (cp. the Lat. future perfect).
Ingraastve aorists (1924) retain their force in the subjunctive.
2326. The apodosis of the more vivid future condition is the
future indicative or any other form of the simple sentence that refers
to future time.

The protasis commonly suggests something undeaired, or feared, or
iateoded independently of the speaker's will ; the apodosia oommonly

The apodoais is generally expressed by the future indicative, but

2331. The present optative views an action as continuing (not completed) ;
tlie aorist optative, as simply occurring (completed). (The future optative U
never used except to represent a future Indicative in indirect discourse.) The
perfect (rare) denotes completion with resulting state. In fldt.7.214 it is used
vaguely of the pael : tiitlii iiir yip ir . , , rairiir riit iTpatbr 'Or^rjit, tl rj x^P9

GENERAL CONDITIONS
3335. General conditions refer indefinitely to any ant or series
of acta that are supposed to occur or to have occurred at any time ;
and without any implication as to fulfilment.
The if clause has the force of if ever (wkenever), the conclusion
expresses a repeated or habitual action or a general truth.
3336. Any simple or unreal condition of present or past time, or
any future condition, may refer to a customary or frequently re-
[>eated act or to a general truth. But for the present and past only
(when nothing is implied as to fulfilment) there are two forms of
expression : either a special kind of conditional sentence or (less fre-
quently) the simple condition, as regularly in English and in Latin :
Protasis : tiv (= Hr irort) with the subjunctive ; apodosis:
the present indicative (2337).
Protasis: ri (= uxort) with the present indicative; apodo-
sis : the present indicative (2298 c, 2^12).
Protasis: tl with the optative; apodosis: the imperfect
indicative (2340).
Protasis: ci with the imperfect; apodosis; the imi>erfect

CONCESSIVE CU^USES
3369. Concessive clauses are commonl; formed by xot in coDJunc-
tioQ with the tl or Hv of conditional clausea : ko! ti («I), nu i&y (kSv)
even if, d xai, iay nu oithough.
2370. Such concessive clauses are conditional, but indicate that the
condition which they introduce may be granted without destroying
the conclusion. The apodosis of concessive clauses thus has an
adversative meaning, i.e. it states what is regarded as true notwittt-
atanding {ofuo^) what is assumed in the protasis.
3371. Concessive clauses have the construction of conditional
clauses. The protasis, if negative, takes fii}.
3372. Ml ■[ (ei-en if) dauaea. — mu u commonly implies that the
conclusion must be true or must take place even in the extreme,
scarcely conceivable, case which these words introduce (even Buppoa-
ing that, even in the case thai). In such cases the speaker does not
grant that the alleged condition really exists. On xar tl see 1766 b.

TEMPORAL CUiUSES
2383. Temporal clauses are introtluced by conjunctions or relative
expressions having the force of cuu junctions
A. Denoting time usually tke sume as that of the principal verb :

verb of wtUing or expecting meana for the time when (H 414). Ira (firet
in Keaiod) is rare in lyric, tragedy, Rerodotiia, and Plato, very common in
Xenophon. ^^pi is avoided by the orators. — iUxim and ixp* take tbe articular
infinitive in DemosChenea. — tW for (wt tsrare (2171).
3384. Demonstrative adverbs in the principal clause often corre-
spond to ttie relative conjunctions, as ore . . . rorc, iv^ . . . JyTOvr^, ««t
. . . rcuK (jtijgK rovroti). So also iwA . . , rorc, in (ore) . . . ^vravAi, etc.
2385. Some temporal conjunctions also denote muse .-
Sw, Atotc, ivti, tin (poet.), irti&j since, whereas, is because, at
means also as, as to, rarely, in prose, in order that, {uf in Homer has
in part become a tinal conjunction (2419) ; for the Attic use, see 241^0.
3386. A temporal sentence and a conditional sentence may occur
in close conjunction without marked difference of signification.

3387. A temporal conjunction is often used in Greek where Eng-
lish employs a conditional or a concessive conjunction.

2388. The time denoted by a temporal clause is not always solely
contemporaneous, antecedent, or subsequent to that of the principal
clause, but may overlap with the time of the principal clause (before
and at the same time, at the same time and after, until and after).

b. A Terb of aorlsttc action la lued i in the temporal claose when compleU

3389. Clauses introduced by relative adverbs (or conjunctions) of
time, have, in general, the same constructions as clauses introduced
by relative pronouns (S40, 2493 ff.) and by relative adTerbs of place
and manner. Temporal clauses are treated separately for the sake
a. Temporal clauses introduced by a word meaning vtOO differ from oidl-
naiy conditional relatives in some respects, as in the use ol the optative in
Implied indirect discoiuse (S408, 24:20); and in the freqnency of the absence
otir(2iQ2).
b. Strictly irt, IrBa, in, etc., are ixtbordtnating eof^nctfon* when the clause
iotrodnced by tbem fixes the time, place, or manner of the main clause ; but are
rtiative adveria when they serve only to define the antecedent and introduce a
olaose merely supplementary to the main clause.
2390. Temporal clauses are either definite or itidefinite.
2391. A temporal clause is definite when the action occurs at a
definite point of time (negative oi, except when the special con-
struction requires ii^. D^nite temporal clauses usually refer to
the present or to the past.
2392. A temporal clause is indefinite when the action (1) occurs
in the indefinite future, (2) recurs an indefinite number of times,
(3) continues for an indefinite period. The same clause may have
more than one of these meanings. (3) is rare. The negative is /u}.
Indefinite temporal clauses refer either to the future or to genial
present or past time.
2393. The same temporal conjunction may refer either to definite
or to indefinite time ; sometimes with a difference of meaning.
339*. When the time is definite, the indicative is used ; when in-
definite, the subjunctive with tCv, the optative, or (rarely) the in-
dicative.
Temporal conjunctions with the subjunctive take S,v. (For excep-
tions, see 2402, :^12, 2444 b.) jv is not used with the optative except
when the optative is potential, 2406, 2421 (cp. 2462).
INDICATIVE TEUPOBAL CLAUSES REPBBBING TO PBKSBNT OB
PAST TIME
2395. Present or past temporal clauses take the indicative when
the action is marked as a fact and refers to a definite occasion
(negative oS). The principal clause commonly has the indicative,
but may take any form of the simple sentence.
A. Temporal clauses denoting the same time as that of the
principal verb (2383 A).

FUTURE TEMPORAL CLAUSES WITH THE SUBJUNCTIVE

FUTURE TKMPORAL CLAUSES WITH THE OPTATIVE
3404. Temporal clauses referring to the future in sentences corre-
spoading to less vivid future conditions usually take the optative
without Sy. An optative referring to the future stands in the princi-
pal clause (2186b). The negative is ^17.

clause depends on lUmr, Itself dependent on Umtb ir).
2405. The optative with it (n/) in Homer, where Attic would haT« the
simple optative, Is potential or virtually equivalent to a future. Thus, BilTlca

S 222, (ui n p 7S (potential), rit S n O TO (elsewhere this expression always
takes the subjunctive in Homer).
2406. The potential optative or indicative (with Sy) having its
proper force may appear in temporal clauses (cp. 2353).

TEMPORAL CLAIJ8E8 IN GENERIC SENTENCES
2409. If the leading verb denotes a repeated or cnstomary action
or a general truth, a temporal clause takes the subjunctive witti iy
after primary tenses, the optative after secondary tenses. The nega-
tive is fiij. Cp. 2336.
S- A prMeut tense denotee action continuing (not completed) and la of the
same time aa tbal o( the leading verb ; an aorist tense denotes action simply
occurring (completed) and time osually antecedent to that of the leading verb
when the action of the dependent clauae takes place before the action of the
maiD elaoae. In cUnaea of contemporaneoua action the aoiist denntes the same
time as that of the main verb ; In clausea of anbaequent action, time later than
that of the main veib.

GENERAL RULE FOR trftv BEFORE, UNTIL
2430. wpiv is construed like other con j unctions meaning until
except that it takes the infinitive as well as the indicative, subjunc-
tive, and optative.
2431. After an affirmative clause vpiv usually takes the infinitive
and means before.
2432. After a negative clause wpiV means vniil, and usually takes
the indicative (of definite time), the subjunctive of optative (of
indefinite time).
a. The sabjunctlve or optative Is never used with wplr unless the principal
clause is negative.
b. When the principal clause Is negative, wptr Is construed like fwt and other
words tor until (oi rplr t= fui).
2433. When the principal clause is affirmative, the clause nitb wptr almply
adds a closer definition of the time. When the principal clause Is negative,
tpir defines the time as before, but the closer definition servea also as a eondl-
tfon that must be realized, before the action of the principal clause can be
realized. Thus, nij da-AArr* wplt ir ixoiirirrt do not go away until you hear

2434. rplr is used with the aorlst or (less often) with the imperfect indicft-
tire only when wplt Is equivalent to tut until ; but, when the verb of the main
clanse ia negatived, rplr may be translated by bifore or until. When rplr must
be rendered by btfore, it takee the infinitive.

'.ive clauees. When rplr U = (wt It often takes Si).
3442. A irpiV clause, depending on a past tense denoting non-ful-
Bltnent, itself denotes non-fulfilment and takes a past indicative hy

SYNTAX OF THE COMPLEX SENTENCE
trpCv -WITH THE anBJtJNCTIVB
3443. irpiv with the subjunctive and 3» refers to the future or to ,
general present time. |
2444. (I) Ttplv takes the subjunctive with 3» to denote a future
action anticipated by the subject of the leading verb. The principal
clause is negative, and contains any verb referring to the future
except the simple optative.

a. The Horiat subjunctive is usual (the tense of negation, 2431?, »nd of action
prior to that of the principal clause); much leas common is the present flubjanc-
tive (usually of contemporaneous, overlapping action) as X.C. 2.2.8 (2440).
b. Homer does not use tt or it in this construction since i-plr is here adrtr-
YM and its clause Is simply coordinated. Bat Horn, has wplt 7' St> <t. Tlw
subjunctive without it occurs occasionally as an archaism in Hdt and the
dramatic poets. In Attic prose especially in Thuc (e.f. 6. 10, 29,88) ; but It
is often inserted by editors.
c. Theleadlng verb is rarely the optative with di>(aa a form' of future expres-
sion) : niK ir iw4\eoitu Tplt r^rriwiait ii dyvpa Xu0g (cp. b) / will not go aiMt
until the market i» entirely owr X.0. 12. 1.
2445. (II) After a negative clause of present time that expresses
a customary or repeated action or a general tnith, vplv takes the
subjunctive with 5.v.

course, irpiv with the subjunctive and Sy is common instead of tfa«
optative without ay (2449).

3Ma rpu- with the optative is used only in indirect diacourse oi
by assimilation to another optative.
2449. (I) The optative without ay follows wpCv to denote an action
anticipated in the paat when the principal clause is negative and its
verb is in a secondary tense. The optative is here in indirect dis-
course (actual or implied) and represents ar with the subjunctive,
which is often retained (2446). Cp. 2420.

m. In tDdlrectdlKonrse the Inflnltive is preferred (2466 d).

when the negative principal clause has the optative. Cp. 2186 b.

3491. The optative with wpiv in clauses of customary or repeated
action seems not to be used.
3453. vptF if with the optative is rare and siupected (cp. 2421). '
vpilt WITH THE INFINITIVB
au3. irptV takes the infinitive in Attic especially when the princi-
pal clause is affirmative. The infinitive must be used, even with
negativ^e clauses, when wpiv must mean only before (and not until).
«. The Infinitive ii obUgtttoiy In Attic wbeu tbe aotlon of the wplt cUose

b. The Inflnitive takee the aoausKtive when its subject ii different from th»t

e. The nsnal tense is the aorist, the tense of n^itlon (S43B) and of the
■impte oconrrence of the action. Less frequent Is the present (chleflj' In Xeno-

CLAUSES OF COMPARISON
2462. Clauses of comparison (as clauses) measure an act or state
qualitatively or quantitatively with reference to an act or state in the
leading clause.
a. Comparative clauites with ^ than are used In disjunctive coordinated sen-
tences. See under Harticles (286:)).
2463. Comparative clauses of quality or manner are introduced by
£k o*i iatrmp, naSdjrtp just as, ottok, ^, oTnj, ^mp OS. The principn.i
clause may contain a demonstrative adverb (aurut, S&i so), iuutc/j
may be correlated with 6 auT«$.

used in poetry in BiinileB anil compai'iBOnB.
a. The present and aortBt indicative and subjunctive (oBually witbout Ir) are
regularly used. The optative occurs only wltb in tl or in tt rt. Tbe verb of the
apudueiB may sometimes be supplied from tbe main clause, and tbe sen^e may
be itatiaHed in other cases by supplying as happent, ag ie the ease ; but as I'arly
as Homer the ellipsis was probably unconscious, as It is in Kiiglisha« (f, a» terhea.

ADJECTIVE CLAUSES (RELATIVE CLAUSES: 2488-2673)
2468. Relative clauses correspond to attributive 'adjectives (or
Earticiples), since like adjectives they serve to define substantiTea.
like adjectives, too, the; often have the value of substantives and
stand in any case.
tr lifi 0rat ^\oOrtr (= i Beo^iXiif), ArtirjrKtt rht for tehom Ike godt tovt,

2489. Relative clauses are introduced by relative pronouns or by
relative adverbs of lime, place, or manner (cp. 340, 346), and refer to
an antecedent expressed or implied in the main clause.
a. Temponl clauaes, which are like relative clansee In many reapecta, have
been traated In 2389 ft. On relatives used as indirect Interrogatlvea and as
exclamations, see 2668 fl. , 2686 S.
2490. Many relative clauses are equivalent to co6rdinate clauses
(e.g. 2553). In such cases the relative has the force of a demonstra-
tive or personal pronoun with a connective (koi, dAAiJ, ii, jap, oCr, ^w,
etc.). Thus, »M« tXv if ivoxP^ tii; ttj ypaifig; os f = cwtw yap) . . ■
4tatipit 9r $tpatnMO¥ roiit StoiK kow then could he be atibjed to ti«
indictment f For he manifettly worshipped the gods X.M.I. 2. 64.
Greek often uses here the demosjitrative (contrast ravra Si «I*w with
quae cum dixitaet).

»49t] adjective clauses (RELATIVE CLAUSES) 561
2491. A relative must often be resolved into a coDJunctioQ and a
pronoun (2555).
2492. A truly subordinate relative clause may precede the main
clause or be incorporated into it (2636). The relative clause is often
made emphatic by placing after it the main clause with the demon-
strative antecedent. Thus, o n fiavXtnu, rtmro irouiVw whatever ?ie
wants, thai let him do F. Eu. 285 e.
2493. &! who and the other simple relatives (e.g. oTot, S<m) refer to
a particular and individual person or thing.

the force of aa to whcU (cp. quod), suggesting the matter to which it
pertains.

CONCORD OF RELATIVE PRONOtTNS
2SQI. A relative pronoun agrees with its antecedent in gend<>r,
number, and person ; its case is determined by the construction oI
the clause in which it stands.
dtnft ItTiw i iwiip Jt 4X0( Ihit U the man teho came, nvrq frrlr 4 V^ 4^ '}V

the hoplUei which he commanded, rpiwr Bvpwr otrQr, It ISa p* titXfitir tA^re
being three doors through lehich I had to go.
a. If the main clause as a whole is regarded aa the antecedent, the relative
stands In tiie neuter singular with or without a damonstratlve. Thus, s-XcF* ^1

b. The person of the verb In a relative clauae, In which the relative pronoun
is the subject, is regularly determined by the person of the antecedent pronoun
expressed or Implied. Thus, oU olf Hvth Srfpvutt yryir^iiM I do not know tehal

2502. Variations from the law of agreement are, in general, tbe
same as in the case of other pronouns (926).

THB ANTECEDENT OP BELATIVE CLAUSES
2503. The demonstrative antecedents of the relative pronouns
are commonly : oJjtos . . . ot, rouRrros . . . slot, nxrourot > . ocrot,

the last four sentences tbe negative of tbe relative clause ia /»).
2S07. When tbe verb of the relative clause stands in the indica-
tive, the distinction between a definite and indefinite antecedent is
commonly clear only in negative sentences.

2308. When tbe antecedent is definite, tbe simple relatives (o:,
oCot, mroc, etc.) are used; vhen indefinite, tbe compound relatives
(Stmt, orouK, iwmrot, etc) are used, but the simple relatives are
often employed instead. When the antecedent is indefinite, St usu-
ally has the subjunctive with Sy qf the optative; while mms is pre-
ferred to OE if the verb is indicative (2569).
as09. Omission of the Antecedent to a Relative. — The demonstrative
pronoun antecedent to a relative is often omitted : either when it i^
in tbe same case as tbe relative, or in a different case from the rel^
tive. The omission occurs when the antecedent expresses the gen-
eral idea of person or thing, and often when the relative clause
precedes.

proper case into the case of its antecedent, especially from the
accusative into the genitive or dative. A demonstrative pronoun
to whose case the relative is attracted, is usually omitted if unem-
phatic. Gp. " Vengeance is his, or whose he sole appoints :" Milton.

2524. The pronouns aiibject to attraction are St, otot, taat, but not Sartt
(except In 26.34). Attraction is not necetfary, and tahea place only (but not
always} when the relative clause Is eaienlial to complete the meaning of the
antecedent When the relative clause is added merely as a remark, attraction
does not t«ke place. An attracted relative clauae virtually has the force of an
attributive adjective.

cedent expressed or omitted (2631 b).

attracted antecedent is often prefixed for emphaxis to the relative
clause, which thua separates it from the verb it governs or by which
it is goveraed. Gp. urbem quam atatvo vestra est, and " Him (= he
whom) I accuse, By this, the city ports hath enter'd " (Shakespeare),

clause is said to be incorpoi'ated. The relative and antecedent then
stand in the same case, the relative agreeing adjectively with its
antecedent. If the antecedent is a substantive, it often stands at
the end of the relative clause, and cuminonly has no article. An
antecedent in the nominative or accusative is more frequently incor-
porated than one in the genitive or dative,

usually conforms to the case of the relative.

THE ANTECEDENT OF KELATIVE CLAUSES
OTHER PECULIARITIES OF RELATIVE CLAUSES
2539. AppoititireE to the antecedent uiay be drawn iiitu the relative clause
as the neareet construction or tor tlie sake of emph^ls. Thus, tbfiati. Toit . . .

jlnd the Judgei, laho are said to pronounce judgraeia there, Miiioa and
llhadamanthyt, etc. P. A. 41 a.
2540. A BobstantfTe, usually with the article, Is often taken over into tlie
relative clause, to eipltdn, by a necessary addition, tlie idea cnnveyed by that
clause ; and stands tn tlie same case as the relative. Thus, (J /latSdrtu 6 poitjinai
X/rnr rA (ISot if you underataiul the clan I wish to deaarihf, P. It. 477 c, oSre

guardians vKom tee aay vie mu»t instruct 402 c.
2541. The antecedent may be reserved for the main clause, which follows the
relative clause. Thus, tag o'ut iiir irix^'< «i' l">x^ ttfu toU rjiuif I am not
subject to the Ioum in virtue of which I was arrested Ant. 5. 8j.
3542. An attributive adjective, or an attributive genitive belonging; to a
substantive standing In the main clause, may be placed either in the relative
clause (if either is emphatic) or In the main clause. Two adjectives uiay be
divided between the two clauses. The substantives may recnaiii in the eiain
clause or be tranaterred to the relative clause. Thus, tA reix'"''" ' (•■ "^riPi r«r
Zupitaclur alpoHat they captured the fort of the Syracuaans which was there

a. Froin the transference of superlatives to the relative clause arise such
exprestions as Ihayor niiMxoi" Ariiroui rXtlgToat iiuriimi' (1087). Similarly
in rdxM'TA (sciL tiranai or the like) as soon as, as soon at possible, irtl (Src)
T^X'^ra, a» soon as.
2543. A participial or aabordinate ckuse depending on a fallowing main
claose may be joined to a preceding clause containing the antecedent of the
relative. Thus, tifni citw dxpoi t tt u4 rit vpetaTaXi^oiTo, ij^raror f^wftu
wapti^ir he said that there was a height which leoiilil be impossible tn pass,
unless it was seized in aduance X. A. 4. 1. 25. The case of the reliitive may bu not
that required by lis own verb, but that of an orahled pronoun dependent on a
participle or a subordinate verb inserted in the relative clause. Thus, jtora-
^onSiPBIiai Ttfjot . . . t wort ' Ltaprarts -rnx^rdiuroi toirv iaaaritgiif ixpSlrrt
(fur 4 txP""' Tttxirditfrvi avrA) they ai-i2ed a fortress which the Acarnanians
once built and used as a common place of judgment T. 3. 105.
2944. When the relative clause contains a verb of naming, the main clause
'» fused with the relative clause. Thus, tr8a laXirrai ' Kpriiuiot Tijunt (for
It6a riiun&i icTi, t (BXtlTai ' JipriiuSot) where there is a precinct of Artemis

THE USE OP THE HOODS IN CERTAIN RELATIVE CLAUSES
2546. An extension of the deliberative aabjunctive not infreqaently occnis
In relative clauses after such expressions asadx lx<a, oAkItti, etc, which usually
denote baffled will, the existenoe of an obstacle to carrying ont an aet desired
by the speaker or some one else. The subjunctive is much less common after
the positive Ix" I have tkt meant. The pronoun or adverb Introducing such
clause is an interrogative that has taken on the function of a relative.
2947. The subjunctive here follows primary teases ; the optative follows
secondary tenses.

DEPENDENT STATEMENTS
2576. Dependent statements, or subordinate clauses stating that
something is, are expressed in various ways:
1. By on infinitive, with or without an accusative (explained In 1972 f(.,
20IQS.). Thus, Miiltwyiip b^^it itu>l tin, fol rar^fJa lal 4>l\nut for I think that

X. A.I. iO.ie, lUumnai iti>6vit I remember that I heard X.C.I. 6.6.
3. By Sri or in (and some other conjunctions) with the indicative or optative.
On this form of dependent statement see 257T S., and under Indirect Dlsconrse.
M. In any form of substantive clause the subject of the subordinate verb may
be made the object of the principal verb (2182).
b, A clause with hi (it) may precede the principal clause. Cp. 2686.

form of indirect discourse. Cp, 2614, 2615, etc.
299S. Clauses standing in indirect discourse are substantive
clauses, and usually object of the leading verb; its subject, when that
verb is passive or intransitive. The infinitive in substantive clauses

3S97. Simple and compound sentences, and principal clauses of
complex sentences, introduced by an or wt are treated as follows :
259B. (I) After primary tenses, the original mood and tense are
retained, except that the person of the verb may be changed.
2399. (11^ After secondary tenses, primary tenses of the indicative
and all subjunctives may be changed to the same tense of the opta-
tive; but an indicative denoting uuceality (with or without &v) is re-
tained. Imperfects and pluperfects are generally retained (2623 b).
2600. The verb of simple and compound sentences, and of principal
clauses of complex sentences, when introduced by a verb taking the
infinitive or participle, passes into the infinitive or participle in the
corresponding tense. &v is kept, if it was used in the direct form.
3601. Subordinate clauses of complex sentences introduced by
&Tt, or 4t are treated as follows :
2602. (I) Subordinate clauses of asentence introduced byaleading
verb in a primary tense, must remain unchanged in mood and tense.
2603. (II) If subordinate clauses are introduced by a leading verb
in a secondary tense, all primary tenses of the indicative and alt sub-
junctives (with or without iv) may be changed to the corresponding
tenses of the optative without Sy. All secondary tenses of the in-
dicative (with or without iv) remain unchanged.
2604. Verbs standing in subordinate clauses of sentences intro-
duced \n a leading verb requiring the participle or the infinitive,
follow ^e rules of 2602, 2603.

2603. The principal and subordinate clauses of the direct form
rebaiD the names prijicipai and subordinate in indirect discourse
though the whole clause in which they stand itself depends on the
verb introducing the indirect diseourae (the leading verb).
2606. The change from direct to indirect discourse is almost
always a change of vwod, not of tense. The time of a participle
introducing indirect discourse is determined hy that of the leading
verb. The person of the verb is often chauged.
2607. Sv of the direct form is retained in indirect discourse except
when a dependent subjunctive with Av becomes optative after a
secondary tense. Here liv, Srav, imSAi', tatt Sv, etc., become d, art,
Jt«Si7, !ciif , etc.
2608. The same negative (ou or n^ used in the direct discourse is
commonly kept in the indirect form. But in some cases with the
infinitive and participle /iij takes the place of oi, (2723 &., 2730, 2737).
2609. No verb ever becomes subjunctive by reason of indirect dis-
course. The subjunctive (with or without cEi') may, after a secondary
tense, become optative without av,
2610. No verb can be changed to the optative in indirect dis-
course except after a secondary tense, and since, even after a
secondary tense, indicatives or subjunctives may be retained for
vividness, no verb must become optative by reason of indirect dis-
course.
2611. All optatives with or without av in the direct form are re-
tained (with or without civ) in ijidirect discourse introduced by on
or is. After verbs requiring the participle or infinitive, such op(a-
tives in principal clauses become participles or infinitives (wither
without av), but remain unchanged in subordinate clauses.
a. The optative in indirect discourse may repreaent either the indicative or
the subjunctive after a secondary teiise.
b. A present optative in indirect discourse may represent (1) the present
indicative; (2) the imperfect (2(123 b) Indicative; (8) the present snbjunctivs
with or without <»i (4) the present optative.
2612. The imperative is commonly replaced in indirect discourse
by a periphrasis with ^■j^u. Cp. 2(J33 b.
2613. The retention of the mood of direct discourse, where either
the direct or indirect form is possilile, lies solely in the option of the
writer or speaker. The vivid form reproduces the time and situation
in which the quoted woi-da were used. The vivid form is preferred
by some writers, as Thueydides ; the indirect form by others, as the
orators, Plato, and Xenophon.

IMPLIED INDIRECT DISCOURSE
3622. Indirect discourse is implied in the case of any subordinate
clause, which, though not depending formally on a verb of saying or
thinking, contains the past thought of another person and not a etate-
ment of the writer or speaker. Implied indirect discourse appears
only after secondary tenses, and in various kinds of dependent
clauses.
a. Conditional claoses, the conduaion being Implied in the leading verb.

ern past tenses in indireot discourse.
a. The potential Indicative with it, the indicative in a conditJon denoting
unreality with it or without tr (as ixp^', '*", etc.), always remain nncbanged
in order to prevent confnsion with the optative of the direct form.

retained unaltered.

C. The aorist indicative without Ir in a simple Benlcnce or in a principal
clause may t>e changed to the aorist optative after a secondary tense ; but In
subordinate clauses (except those denoting cause, N. 11} it remains unchanged lo

of view of the subject of the leading verb.

«. The Qse of past tenses of hiatorical Duration Instead of present tenses of
direct discourse occurs, [□ aimple sentences, especially after verbs of kttowing,

b. Such Inserted statements of fact are often difficalt to dlatingoioh tnaa
indicatives in indirect discouree ; and tbe two forms of expressiiHi may occur In
the same RentAnce (X. C. 4. 2. 36-30). The common explanation of the ase of
the imperfect and pluperfect lor the present and perfect ta Uiat Qieek had the
•ame assunilation of tense as English.
c. Except In indirect qaeations, the imitative of Indirect discoarse Is nnknown
to Homer, (tiwtir in l\6oi w 237 may be considered as interrogatlre.) After
primary or secondary tenses Homer employs. In the dependent clause, tbe same
psst t«nse that would have been used in an Independent clause, from the point
of view of the speaker, and not the tense which would have been need In direct
disconiHe from the point of view of the subject of tbe main clause. Thus, "ttynt-
ffnp S (= 9ti) S4 taxi li^iStra I itneiD that he Was planning evil y 106 {i.e nut
ifciSrra nl iylynMicet he Wat planning eeH and I kneie it). In Attic we shoold

expressed in Homer by lutWoF and tbe Infinitive, as oMi ri iSii, t olt wtlrtwii
tlitiAtr nor did fie know thlt, that the had no thought ta eampty y 146.
d. That this use of statements of fact standing outside indirect discoarse is
optional only. Is seen from a comparison of the flmt example in 2624 with coXdt

2628. Indirect discourse may be introduced by on (5k) and then
pass into the infinitive as if the introductory verb bad required the
lotinitive.

2639. An optative dependent on on (uk) may be followed, in a
parenthetical or appended clause (often introduced by y6p or oSr),
by an independent optative, whicb is used as if it itself directly de-
pended on on (a>t).

a. Such an independent optative may also follow an inllaitive in indirect
disconne (L. 13.78), an indicative after (ri (Is. 8.22), or a participle (Is. 9.6),
Aft«r BJi optative in Indirect discourse the appended clauBs may contain an in-
dicative (X.A.6.2.10, 1.17,21).
2630. An infinitive in indirect discourse may follow a sentence
whicb merely involves tbe idea of indirect statement.

them to go to Laeedaemoa; for (be said that) he leas not himself empowered to

2631. In subordinate temporal and relative clauses the infinitive
is often used for the indicative or optative by attraction to an infini-
tive standing in the principal clause after a verb of saying. In
some cases l^ may be mentally inserted.

2633. For the sake of variation, a mood of the direct form may
be used in the same sentence with a mood of the indirect. The main
verb may be kept in the direct form, while the subordinate verb
becomes optative, or, less often, the subordinate verb may be retaiued
in the direct form though the main verb becomes optative.

2634. Long sentences (and even some short complex sentences),
or a series of sentences, in indirect discourse depending on & single
verb of saying or thinking, aie uncongenial to the animated character
of Greek, which resists the formal re^laiity of Latin. Some long
speeches in indirect discourse do, however, appear, e.g. Andoc, 1, 38-
42, Thuc. 6. 49, Xen. C. 8. 1. 10-11, Plato R. 614 b {the entire Sympo-
m'nm is given in reported form). To effect variety and to ensure
clearness by relieving the strain on the leading verb, Greek has vari-
ous devices.

N. 2. — An interrogaUve clause alwaja depends Immediate!; on the Introduo

INTERROGATIVE SENTENCES (QUESTIONS)
2636. Questions are either direct (independent) or indirect (depend-
ent). Thus, Ti's iA(£e TxiOra; wJio said thUl ipatrw oorts lkf$e mvm /
ask who said this.
2637. Questions may have the assertive form -with the interroga-
tion expressed simply by the tone of the voice, or may be introduced
by an interrogative pronoun, adjective, adverb, or particle.
a. A quMlJoQ gains In aclmatioa &nd has its emphatic 'part clearly roark(4
If the Interrogative word is placed late in the sentence. Thus, i!fn St nXiii

that to be hungry wot pleaiant or painful f P. G. 496 c.
2638. Yas and No Queationa (or sentence-questions) are asked by
the verb (whether a givec thing is ot is done^. Such questions are
oommoQly introduced by an interrogative particle. Pranotm-queathnu
(or word-questions) are asked by an interrogative pronoun, adjective,
or adverb (who, what, where, when, hotv).
a. A sentenoe^queatlon nay follow a word-question ; as rl SoniViF b/ur, i

2639. Deliberative QneationB ask what Is to be done or what was to be doae.
Qaestions asking what i$ to be done in the present or future are expreeaed by tbe
dellberalivB aubjunctiTs (negative m4i 1S06), hy 3ti or xy) ^n<l the infinitive, by
the verbal in -riar with irri (1808) or by the deliberative future (1918). Qim«.
tions asking what tma to be done are expressed by xp^' CxP^') or ISn with the
InAnitive, or by the verbal in -r^v with fr. In direct questions the optative b
not used to denote what was to be done.
2640. Rhetorical Questions are questions asked (or effect uid not for infor-
mation, since the speaker knows the answer In advance and either does not wait
for, or Mmself glvex, the answer. Thus, d\X' o^fffn tbvtb' viStr; btit thft It

tare in LijrsiaH, somewhat frequent In Plato, common in Isaeaa, highly developed
ill DemOBtbeueH. The rhetorical question is much more favonred in Greek than
inEDgliBh.
DIRECT (independent) QUESTIONS
2641. Any form of statement (2153) may be used as a direct
question. The interrogative meaning may be indicated' only by the
context, or it may be expressed by placing an emphatic word first or
by the use of certain particles (2650, 2651).

2643. Queationa nhlch ::annot be answered b; j/et or no are introduced by
intem^atire pronouns, adjectives or adverbs (340, 340), usually without any
interrogative particle, and may have any forcu of the simple sentence.

2643. An interrogatlTe pronoun or adverb often depends on a participle and
not on tbe main verb ol the sentence. Thus, rl air roii^arroi KaTtxnporar^ari

2644. A subordinate clause introduced by a conjunction or a relative pro-
noun may suddenly change into a direct pronoun-question, though the constroc-
tioD of the clause remains unaltered. Thus, twnH) vcpl rlnt 'A^igtaibi SiBHuCn-oi

by placing an interrogative between the article and its noun. Thus, iyii tir rir

INTERROGATIVE SENTENCES
INDIEBCT (dBPEHDENT) QUESTIONS
2663. Indiieot questions are intToduced by interrogative pro*
nouns, adjectives, and adverbs, indefinite relative pronouns and ad-
verbs (340, 346), or by certain interrogative particles (2671, 2676).
3664. The interrogatives of the direct question may be retained
io an indirect question. But it is more common to use the indefinite
relatives which (in interrogative sentences) aie employed only in
indirect questions.
^tirvt airtit rlnti tlm Ihej/ atked them tehn Ihey xnere X. A. 4.G. 10 (^rfm

(=■■« Tpiirtiifiati), ^iii S#oMtli5iroi aTpaTtitiixii* but no one knew where theg
vitre going to march T. &. 54 (=ra?irTpaTt6aiur]).
2665. The nae of the direct interrogatiTes is a relic of origlrial juxtapoejtion,
e.g. tlwt fui, roUt ri n»i(fcit tMfitian clraL ; tell me, What »ort of a thing do pou
think holinese it r X. M.4.e. 2. The interrogative force of the indefinite rela-
tives is derived, not from any interrogative idea in these words, bat from tbe
connection in vbich they stand.
2666. An indirect interrogaUve is often used in the same sentence after a
direct interrogative. Thus, eit oMa olfr' iwi rolou it Tix*" '^' S*"" *' ■"'
^MSyw* ito^Oyoi oBt' th wator it mires droipaii) cSS' Sriin it tit 'x"!**' X^P^'

often, aaaiyip abrBinpal aoulnceuir tipiiar 4 vdior JtJnuov \iytii for I do not per-

2667. Two interrogativea mftf occur in the same sentence without a con-
nective i as vOt tlitr iraia irofoH Bvrari mxruKir ; hoa doea he know what letters

266S. Afterverbaof aayfnif, itnatefnj7, ateing, making known, perceiving, etc.
(but not after verbs of atking) tbe simple relatives are found where the indefl'
nite relatives (or the interrogatives) might stand in an indirect qneHtion. Where
St is so used, it has the force of ttot (cp. qualia in such questions) ; and rarely
follows a negative clause, because verta denoting lack of knowledge are allied in
meaning to verba of atking. The usual forms are e.g. olSd it it tl and oi* oIM
ft Srm tl. But WB find olSi at larittl and oit atti at «i tl. ThttS, tiicwti . . . tlxAr

A. That the simple relatiTes are never thus used after rerbe of cuking indi-
cates that such clauses are not true indirect questions (as in Iiatin), and that
the pronouns have their value as relativei'. But some scholars allow an iDdireci
question after all these words except St ; and others admit no such limitatirm.
b. Onlf In late Greek are the pronouns or adverbs of the indirect form used
In direct questions.
C. Arwt is used occasionally (often in poetry) in the sense of in. Thnx, fiit
pat ^pd^' Srait o6ic tt naxii tell me not that (lit. hov) thou art not vile S. O. T. bti.
d. The context must sometimes determine whether a sentence ia an indirect
question or a relative clause. Thus, without the context, oii cl:i(af Sni irovnat
(X. H. 3. 5. 10) might mean thej/ did not know to wAom (= j^yriouF w/At rlnt) to

aoriat optative in relative final clauses ia rare ; cp. 2564 c.

HOODS IN INDIRECT QUESTIONS
2677, The moods and tenses of indirect queetdons follow the same
mlea aa govern olauses ia indirect diacourse. The person may be
changed.
After primary tenses, the mood and tense of the direct queatioa
are retained (indicative, past indicative with in, dehberative sub-
junctive, potential optative with Sv).
After secondary tenses, the mood and tense of the direct form
may be retained or the optative may be used instead. The latter
is more common. But a past indicative with ■!>■ always remains
unchanged.

EXCUMATORY SENTENCES
2681. Direct (independent) exclamatory sentences with a verb
expressed (or easily supplied) are formed
2682. (I) By the relative pronouns olw, Sa^, or by the relative
adverb Ak in esclamations of wonder. The sentences introduced by
these words are commonly associated with vocatives or iuteijectdoos.

NEGATIVE SENTENCES
3688. The simple negative particles are o£ and fi-j. oS is the
negative of fact and statement, and contradicts or denies ; ft^ is the
negative of the will and thought, and rejects or deprecates. The
difference between the simple negatives holds true also of their
compounds ourt p-'ffrti oi^* l^''fi'i oi&ui inj&eCi, etc.

Sanskrit md was used with the aubjuDctive, optatiTe, and imperatlTe.
b. ^4 was originally used only in independent clauses ; but later was employed
in subordinate clauses, and witb dependent inUniiives and participles. On the
origin of fi^ as a conjunction, see 2222, In Homer /i^ is used especially witb tbe
subjunctive, optative, and imperatiTe (i.e. in commands and wishes) ; rarely
with the indicative (in ;ilj &^\\or, In oaths, In questions, atter verbs of fearing
referring to a past event) ; with tbe infinitive when used for tbe imperative after
a verb of gaying, etc. when the InSniUve expresses a command or a wish, and
when B. dependent JnftnlLlva Is used In an oalh ; with tbe participle only in cod-
necQoa with a command (Z 48) or a wish {t 684).
c. In later Greek (Polybius, Lncian, I)io Chrysostomus, etc.) it^ has en-
croached on ofi, generally by extension of usages occurring rarely in the classical
language. Thus Lucian has ^4 ^t^' causal ut, Sn, ti&ri, irtl ; in relative clauses
(sometimes oiifw tarir tn fi4) ; witb participles of cause (even irt /i4) or of
concession ; with participles without the article following an adjective ; with
tbe infinitlre after verbs of aaylny and thinking. Ari iiii appears In indirect dis-
couTse (complete or partial) where the classical language would use the inflnitive
or Sri with tbe optative or ut wltli the participle ; so after verba of taying and
AiiMng, after verbs of emotion, and even after verbs of knowing.

a6SL 06 adherescent (or priTative) placed before a verb (or other
single word) not merely negatives the meaning of the simple verb
bnt gives it an opposite meaning, the two expressing a single negative
idea; as oS if^fu Ideny, I re fuse (not laaynot). ou ^i^fu is preferred
to ^iiX oi as nego is preferred to oto non.
3692. Adherescent ov is especially common with verbs of »aying
or thinking, but occurs also with many verbs of will or detire. In
such caaes oi goes closely with the leading verb, forming a qtuui-
compound ; whereas it belongs in sense to a following infinitive if an
infinitive depends on the leading verb. In Latin actual composition
has taken place in nego, neacio, neipieo, nolo.

the preference for a negative rather tban a poxltive assertion, and to tbe disin-
clination to malte a strong positive aCatement (litotes, aa in some oI tbe casKi
of 2094), and partly in the abaenc« of negative coinpoands, the development of

PARTICLES
3766. Under the head of particles are included sentence adverbs
(1094) and conjunctions. Many senteuce adverbs remained such,
some sank to mere enclitics, others became pure conjunctions, while
still others fluctuated in function, being now adverbial, now con-
junctional, as Kot even and and, ovSt not even and nor, yap in fad and
for, rpiy sooner and until or before.
2770. Conjunctions are either coordinating or subordinating. The
coordinating conjunctions with their several varieties are given in
2163. The subordinating conjunctions are
Causal: ln■^ Stori, Simrtp, Int, ira^, on, Inran, &t (2240).
Comparative : in, wmtp, naBdirtp, oinvt, ^, mrn, ^rtp (2463 ; cp. 2481).
Concessive: mu d (xd), koi iov (idy}, d koi, lav nu (23GS),
Conditional : «, Hv, ^y, 5y (2283).
Consecutive: uirrc, &c (2250).
Declarative : »», Scon, oSyam, Sffauytm, in (2578).
Final: ira, mriK, in, fo), etc. (2193; cp. 2209, 2221).
Local : o*, otov, ot, otm, &da, o^, ImoSiv, ^, 01171, eta (2498).
Temporal : Srt, &tr6Ti, l/viiui, lird, i-mi&^,, &K, liixpi, tart, tak, vpiy, flto.
(2383).
Some conjunotlons belong to more than one class.
2771. Greek baa an extraordinary number of lentenca adverbs (or partJcki
In the narrow senu) having a logical or emotional (rhelortcal) value. Either
alone or in combination these sentence adverbs give a diatinctnest to the
relallooa between Ideas wiilcli Is foreign to ottier languages, and often resist
tranaiation by separate words, which In English are frefjuently over emphatic
and cumt»er8omB in comparison to the light and delicate nature of the Greek
origlnalB (e.jT. Spa, 7^, nt). I1ie force ot sach words is frequently beet rendered
by paose, stms, or alterations of pitch. To catch the subtle and elasive mean>
Ing of these often apparently insignificant elements of speech challenges the
utmost vigilance and skill of the student.
2772. The particles show different degrees of independence as regards theli
position. Many are completely independent and may occupy any place in the
sentence ; some may occur only nt Che beginning (prfpoiiliBt particles, as drdj)))
otiient Hnd their place only after one or more words at the beginning {poUpott-
tivf. particteo. as yAp, H) ; and some are attached closely to a preceding word m
even form compounds with that word wherever it may occur (7/, ri).
2773- Some verbal forms have virtually become particles, e.g. iyt used wltb
the second person plural, 6pft used of several persons, parenthetic olfiai, I^Asi
&Ti, eS bIA> Sri, it Cae' »ri (2586).
2774. As r^fcards their meaning, particles may be arranged In claases, t.g
advertative, (t^rnMi((«e, aitevtrattee, conrmive, coninnative, eonfunctive, lt\fer
632 PARTICLES: &\\d [am
etUial, liUemim, InUTrogaUte, limitative, neffOUve, etc. TheM olaaaaa cumM
alwajB be abarpty distiiigaiehed : some particles fall under two or luon cluaes.
Many particlea, which serve to set fortb the logical relation betweea olatues, bad
originally only an Intensive or confirmatory force lUat was conflned to their own
olauM. The fallowing sections deal only with the commoner uses of the mam
noieworthy paitlclea.

connects sentences and clauses, and corresponds pretty closely to
but; at times iXXa need not or caonot be translated (2781 b). Is
form (but with changed accent) dXAa was originally the same word
as the accusative neuter plural 3X\a other thi'itgs used adverbially s
on the other hand. iXka marks opposition, contrast, protest, dif-
ference, objection, or limitation ; and is thus used both irbere
one notion entirely excludes another and where two notions are not
mutually exclusive. iXtid is often freely repeated in succeesire
clauses.

2787. S^ (Epic ifXL and enclitic Sp before a consonant, ^ usually
alter monosyllables; all postpositive), a connective, confirmatory,
and iaferentiaJ pai'ticle marking the immediate connection and
succession of events and thoughts; the natural, direct, and expected
consequence of a. pi'evious statement of the exiatiug situation, or of
the realization of experience of some sort; and agreement of variouB
kinds, as between assertinn and reality, cause and result, premise
and coucluBton, explanation and what was to be explained.
a. ipa marks a consequence drawn from the connection of thought, and
expreMes linpreaslou or feeling; the stronger oSr marks a consequence di&wn
from facta (a positive conclusion).
2788. The etymology of ipa, and hence lis original meaning. Is obecate.
Some derive it from tiie root dp, seen In ip-ap-itKw fit, join, ifiri fatt; and
thus regard the proper sense as fittingly, aecurdingly. Others think the earliest
meaning was truly, fonooih and connect Apa with a lost adj. dplt, surviving in
d^-irraf, ipl-tniTBt. On this interpretation Apa wonld originally assert the truth
of its otea clause. Apa is found also in apa and yip.
2789. Apa is nsed in Homer much more freely than in Attic, and often so as
to defy exact transiatlon. In general ipa in Epic marks immediate connection
and succession, a natural consequence of something already said or done ; gives
an explanation of an antecedent statement ; or is used in recapitulations and
transitions. Thus, a6Ti.p iwtl ^' ^ipitr . . . , p^ ^ tittr tit dyop'ir but when they

2810. Causal Y^ Is a conjunction: /or (^nam, enim). It serves to Introduce a
cause of, or a reason for, an action before mentioned ; to justify a preceding ntter-
ance ; to confirm the truth of a previous statement. Causal yip often refers to
a thought implied in what has preceded. Thus, Xfirr/a a yiynivtui- liinttpoi yip

explanatory ydp (2808) and of parenthetical yip (281S), especially after roca-
U*e8, may fall under 2811.
2812. The clause with ydp since is often Inserted parenthetically in tlie
clause which it Is Intended to explain ; aai St {Kptroirgt yip ff»i tat wj ^4^) li*

Homer, Pindar, Herodotus, and in the drama.

(eonflrmatory) force. Many scholars, however, claim that there was a consciotu
or nnconsciooa ellipHe, after iWi, of an idea pertinent to the BituaCion ; and thna
regard this form as logically equivalent to the form in which 7d|] ta a causal con*

poaed to be raised by an opponent (hyp<^hora'). Cp. b.

3834. U (postpoaitive) was originally ao adverb with a force not
imlike that of on the other hand, on the contrary; later it became a
DoninDction commonly represented by but or and, which ai-e, however,
mere makeshifts of translation. 8( serves to mark that something is
different from what precedes, but ooly to offset it, not to exclude o^
contradict it; it denotes only a sligot contrast, and ia therefore
weaker than dXAo, but stronger than koi. St is adversative and copu-
lative ; but the two uses are not always clearly to be distinguished.
2835. Adveisative U often marks a silent contrast, as at the beginning ol
speeches {iy& Si ovru -nynisttd X. A. 4. 6. 10) ; in questions which imply oppo^
tlon lo something juatsaid (SO. C. 57); In answers (S. O. T. 379); inobjectiooi

where a true opinion is opposed to afslse one; similarly in rOr 8^ but in/acL bat

than adveisative.

connecting successive clauses or sentences which add aoniething new or differ-
ent, but not opposed, to what precedes, and are not joined by otlier particles,

Copnlalive Si ia common in marking continuation, especially when sometbitig

2S38. U without fi». — A clause with S4 often has no correlative particle in
the clause with which it )s contrasted. Here ^r is not used because the opposi-
tion in the first clause was too weak, or because the speaker did not Intend to
announce a following contrast or did not think be was going to ukc a contrasted
d4 clause. Sometimes the entire first clause may have to be supplied in thought
from the geneml connection or from what has gone before. Si without iitt in
Buch cases is common In poetry, but not rare In prose, even in brief antitheses,

first In 1(8 clause. lol often serves to increase or diminish the force of par-
ticular words ; sometimes it gives a tone of modesty.

2B85. Ka( of Balanced Contrast — In order to mark the connection of
thought between antecedent and consequent, cat also, too, is often placed in
the subordinate clause or in the main clause or In both.
a. Greek has thus the following modes of ezpresaion where a compMison is
instituted between the parts of such bimembrai sentences: "What Jdo, that
yon also do" (as In English) of " What I alto ( = I on my part) do, that yon
do" or " What I alto do, that you also do." In the subonlinate danse m
seems superfluous to English idiom.

d&uae. MtH forth something corresponding to, or deducible from, the main
clBiue ; and when an antithetU is to be emphasized. It Is found especiallf in
rel>live, causal, and final clauses, and has the effect of putting such subordinate
cUoBEB on a plane with the main clause. A relative word often adds -wtf oi is

2894. |iA assererative (cp. ^^v, niv asseverative) with the accusa-
tive of the divinity or thing by which one swears. In negative sen-
tences we have oi pia or pa alone with the accusative ; in affirmative
sentences, vai fia, but more commonly vij. The omission of the accu-
sative may sometimes be due to indecision or to indifference and
not always to scmpulouaness (1596 c). pi means properly in tnUh,
verily; but apparently governs the accusative after the ellipse of
such verbs as Icall to witnesa.
2895. |dv was originally an asseverative, emphatic particle (surely,
certainly, indeed) and a weaker form of /i^v. Cp. Epic $ fiiv, mu /tc»,
ou liiv in asseverations and protestations. Assevemtive niv survived
as fuv solilariuM and in combination with other particles. Anti-
thetical (concessive) fxiv owes its origin to the fact that, as emphasis
may indicate a contrast, the clause in which /icv stood was felt as
preliminary to an adversative member of the sentence. Through
association with this adversative member fUw gradually lost its primi-
tive asseverative force.

VTords the; contrast, and take precedence over other postpcsitive particles. But
when two words belong closely together, /iJii and U are placed between. Thus,
when noans with the article are contrasted, /itr and 8^ stand after [he article ;
if the nonas depend on prepositions lUr and U stand after the preposition and
before the article.

291S. Iiir and Si are sometimes referred to the entire clause or to the predi-
cate and not to the words that are opposed to each other. This arrangement is
often adopted to preserve the symmetry of the juxtaposed clause, /lir and Si
are thus often placed after personal or demonstrative pronouns. Thus, tXryt

S9M. Tot (poBtpofiitive and enclitic) in truih, sureb/, dot^tleas, mark

(1486) of cnJ.

2983. Tol is often used in statements of a general truth and !n ezpreeslons
of personal canviction (sometimes with a tone of hesitation) ; in remarks of a
confidential nature ; to introduce au eiplauation ; and In general where the
special attention of the penran addreaaed la desired, rof often gives an easy and
familiar tone to a reply. Thus, tSu tdi iiaralar irSpdam ppor^iiidTur 4 yXSat'

SOME GRAMMATICAL AND RHETORICAL FIQURES
aoot. Amicolfitlion (AvaKoXovSov inconsequent), or grammatical inoon-
liitency, is inadvertent or purposed deviation in the structure of a
sentence by which a construction started at the beginning is not fol-
lowed out coDsistentlf Anacoluthon is sometimes real, sometimea
G7i FIGURES [3005
oqI; slight or apparent. Tt is natural to Greek by reason of the
mobility and elasticity of that language ; but in English it conld
not be tolerated to an equal extent because our tongue — a speech
of few inflected foime — is much more rigid than Greek.
3005. Anikcoluthon iB, in general, CBiued either («) by the choice of Bome
[orm of expreaaion more convenient or more effective than thu for wblcb the
sentence was grammatically planned ; at times, too, the disturbhiB mfluence U
the insertion of a brief expresaion of an additional thought not foreaeen at tbe
Start. Or (b) by tbe Intrusion of some explanation requiring a parenthesis ot
each an extent Uiat tbe connection is obscured or tbe continuation of the origi-
nal Btructnre made difficult. In this case the beginning may be repeated, or
what has already t>een said may be summed up in a different grammatical fonn
and eometimes with the addition of a resumptive particle, sucb aa Si), oft well
then, thfn, a» I mu tayitiff (X. A. 1. 8. 18, 3. 1. 20, X. C. 3. S. 9). So with 1^
(T. 8. 29.2).
3006. Anacolatbon ueually produces tbe effect of naturalness and liveliness,
Honetimea of greater cleameBa (as after long parentheses), or of brevity, force.
or concentration.
3007. Anacoluthon is either natural ot artificial. Natural anacoluAon is
aeen in the looae and discursive style of Herodotus ; in the closely packed sen-
tences of Thucydides, who hurries from one thought to another with the least
expenditure of words ; and in the slovenliness of Andocidee. Artificial or rhe-
torical anacoluthon la the result of a deliberate purpose to give to written Isn-
gnsge the vividness, naturalness, and unaSected freedom of the aasy flow of
oonveisation, and is best seen in the dialogues of Plato. Such anacoluthon la
usually graceful and free from obscurity.
3006l There are very many forms of anacoluthon, e^.
a. Many cases are due to the fact that a writer confonus bis construction,
not to the words which he has just used, but to another way in which tbe snle-
oedent thought might have been expressed : the conBtmctJon rpAt ri mut^rtr
(or iri7futH(»iiwi>) according to vhat ixthovglU. Cp. 2148 and X.H.2.2.3, S.O.
T.S63, E. Hec.SrO.
b. Some cases are due to changes in the subject, as T. 1. 18. 2.
c. Many cases occur in connection with the use of a participle (2147, SliS).
d. CoOniinate clauses connected by rj . , . tat, tal . . . nl, ifirt . . . oCre,
4 ... if often show anacoluthon, especially when a finite verb takes the place
of a participle. Cp. 2147 c, andT. 5. fll.4, 6.82.8, 7.47. 1-2.
e. The nominative " in suspense " may stand at the bead of a aentence
instead of another case required by the following construction. This involves a
redundant pronoun. Thus, Hp6^m ti tal M4rur, hrilrip tbrlr b/Urrpn (ttfryirai
. . . ri^-^m-t aliToln Stipo (for Wpi^tn, lal M^iwn . . . W^an itvpo) X. A. 2.
5.41. Cp. " The prince thatfeedx great natures, they will slay him ;" Ben Jonson.
f. The accusative often stands absolntely when at the head of a sentanoe.

lion or conatntction) is a concise form of expression by whi(£ a
3oi«] FIGURES 6T6
element is not repeated or is omitted when its repetition or use
would make the thought or the grHmmatical construction complete.
The suppressed element must be supplied from some corresponding
word in the context, in which case it often appears with some change
of form or construction ; or it must be taken from the connection of
the thought.
a Braehylogg and eitipM cannot always be diatiuguldied sharpt;. In
ellip« tlie Buppreased word is not to be supplied from a correapondiog word In
theoonttiit; and, In general, ellipse is less artlflcial and less dependent on the
momentary and arbitrary will o( the speaker or writer. Compendious Compari-
son (1601), Praegnans Conatractio (3044), and Zeugma (8048) are forms of
bnchylogy.
3018. There are many fonns of brachyii^y ; for example :
a. One verbal form must often he etipplied from anotber ; t.g. a paaafve from
aa actiTS, an jnflnitive from a finit« verb, a participle from an inflnitive. Thus,

b. A verb must often be supplied from a coordinate or subordinate clause
either preceding or following. Thus, lytifi* kbI vi ritrS', iyA St si do yov wake

<rr>i (rm, rD«tt) is almost = rlt, etc. (T.T.21.6).
d. Compound verbs (especially thone compounded with prr& and ii) ore often
so uned that the force both of tlie compound and of the simple verb is requisite
to the meaning. Thus, (ot 'A^rivaioi) tuTtymaat Ktpavpalcii {vii^uix'a' m4 ^oi-ion-
trOaii the Athenfani changed their fni'nils and decided not to make an atUautt
with the Coreyrarant T. 1. 44.

£. A verb of taj/ing or Utinkhig must often be sapplied from a foregoing verb
of exAorting, commanding, announeing, or from an; otber verb that Implies eas-
ing or thinking. Thus, K^itd'^duXoi jthI ' K'ToWiSupat ttXcioutl la Tfuararra turir

altv of thirty minae, and {»ag) that they Ihemeelva are euretiee P. A. 38 b.
h. When two verbs taking the same or diSerent caaas have an object in com-
mon, thai object is expreosed only once, and usually is dependent on the nearer '
verb. See 1034, 1636. I
L A substantive or a verb is often to be supplied from asubstantive or a vert j
related In meaning : nv/iax'iearTai idai (rav/taxlat) hatiing foaght one (sea-fight) I

j. The subject of a sentence is often taken from a preceding object or from
some other preceding noun In an oblique case without a pronoun of reference to
aid the transition. Thus, i^^ffiiirar liir rotti ra\Xai>i ode (fMrnt ri rpaariiuKi.
cat fiptvyoy (ol xoXXol) they frightened ateay moet of the cttiieas, v>ho aere in
ignorance of the plot and began to fly T. 8.44. Cp.943.
k. In general an object is frequently omitted wben it can readily be aupplied
from the context. Thus, tyx"r (jir olrtr) iniXtut he gave order* to pour in (the
wlnt') X.A.4. 3. 13. An unemphatic pronoun in an oblique case is often omitted
when it can be supplied from a preceding noun. Cp. 1214.
1. A dependent noun niuat often be supplied, in a different construction, from
one coordinate clause to another. Thus, Hpioi;! IXa^ov collSarar ro^i ^n/iia^ftw
they received oaths from Pharnabazue and gave him theirs X- H. 1.3. 9. So io
contrasts where one member is to be supplied from the other, as oAc ittim

678 FIGURES l3m
fiion of the thought, but neressary to the conBtmction. Ellipse gi*e«
brevily, force, and liveliness; it is usually readily to be supplied,
often unconaciotis, and appears espesially in common phrases, ctm-
structlons, and expressions of popular speech (such as i( ivijpt
kimra. to judge o lion from hia daws).

3008. BypertMton ({nr^/Sarof trantposition) is the sepamtioD of
words Daturally belonging together. 8uch diBplacement usually
gives prominence to the hrat of two words thus separated, but some-
times to the second also. In prose hyperbaton is leas common than
in poetry, but even in prose it is frequent, especially when it secures
emphasis on an important idea by placing it at the beginning or
end of a sentence. At times hyperbaton may mark passionate
excitement. Sometimes it was adopted to gain rhythmical effect
Thus: "Such resting found the sole of unblest feet'' : Milton.

able to the other substantive. Cp. " Nor Mars his sword, nor war's
quick fire shall bum The living record of your memory."
