Miscellanea 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. The o or e that appears between the stem and the personal endings is called the thematic vowel (# 16). It is often designated o/e. The endings given in # 19 (and on the handout) are the resultant endings from combining the thematic vowel with the primitive form of the personal endings. # 17 shows the primitive personal endings for the active voice, primary tenses. (Don’t try to learn these now, but keep them in the back of your mind.) #18 shows how the primitive endings were combined with the thematic vowel to produce the resultant endings. (Don’t try to learn this.) Do learn the resultant endings as given in # 19 and on the handout. Homework 1. Do the conjugation practice worksheet. 2. Exercises # 21 A: Copy each Greek word; give its “location” (parsing); translate it. 3. Exercises # 21 B: Translate each sentence into Greek.
