REM. 1.-In the above Paradigm the Present and Imperfect tenses throughout the several moods are given in full to illustrate the principles of contraction. In the other tenses-the Future, Aorist, Perfect, Pluperfect, and Future Perfect-only the first person singular of the Indicative is given, but all the other persons and numbers in the several moods may be readily formed according to the analogy of βουλεύω.

REM. 2.-The contract verbs in their uncontracted forms do not differ at all in their inflection from Bouleúa except in the Attic Optative: thus, τιμάω, τιμάεις, τιμάει, &c., are entirely analogous in formation to βουλεύω, βουλεύεις, βουλεύει, &c.
