LESSON XLIX.

Impure Verbs.-Liquid Verbs.

245. Liquid Verbs are so called because their characteristic is one of the four liquids--λ, u, v, p.

246. Many liquid verbs, like some mute verbs (231, Rem.), have in the Present a strengthened form of the root. In such cases the true root may be obtained by shortening the root of the Present:

1) By dropping the last consonant, as, réμvw, I

cut ; τεμν: root, τεμ. (ν dropped) ; ἀγγέλλω, I send ; ἀγγελλ: νοοτ, ἀγγελ.

2) By shortening the radical vowel or diphthong, as, φαίνω, I show; φαιν: root, φαν; κτείνω, I slay; κτειν: root, κτεν.

247. Liquid verbs present the following peculiarities in tense formation:

1) They form the Future Act. and Mid. by ad

ding é contracted into ŵ, and éoμai contracted into oûpai, to the true root, e. g.: ảyyéλλw, I send; Fut. Act. åyyeλŵ; Fut. Mid. ἀγγελοῦμαι.

2) They form Aor. Act. and Mid. without o, but lengthen the radical vowel, e.g.: ἀγγέλλω ; Αor. Act. ἤγγειλα ; Μid. ήγγει λάμην.

248. PARADIGM. Αγγέλλω, Γ announce.

ROOT OF PRESENT, ἀγγελλ. TRUE ROOT, ἀγγελ.
