200. Accentuation.-The primary law for accentu ation in Greek verbs places the accent,

1) In words of two syllables, on the first, e. g.: ypápw, I write.

2) In words of more than two syllables, on the penult, if the ultimate is long; otherwise

on the antepenult, e. g. : Bovλevw, I advise ; ἐβούλευον, I was advising.

REM. 1.-The exceptions to this primary law will be readily learned from the Paradigm itself.

REM. 2.-The endings at and oi, except in the Optative, are regarded as short in accentuation; hence Bouλeveral with accent on the antepenult.

REM. 3.-In regard to the character of the accent, the pupil will observe that the accent of the antepenult is always the acute, while that of the penult is the circumflex, if the penult is long by nature and the ultimate short, otherwise the acute. (See 10, 11, 12.)

Verbs.-Active Voice.-Exercises.

203. Participles, like adjectives, agree with their nouns in gender, number, and case.

204. The Participle is used much more freely in Greek than in English. With the article it often has the force of a relative clause with its antecedent, and sometimes is best rendered by the noun itself, e. g. :

Ο βασιλεύων.

The one who is ruling.

The king.
