Liquid Verbs
Liquid verbs have steams that end in λ, μ, ν, and ρ. These consonants are called liquids (μ and ν are also called nasals) because their sounds are frictionless and can be prolonged like a vowel. They do not accept direct attachment of the σ in future or σα of the first aorist.
Future Active Liquid using μένω
Future Active of μένω
Singular
1. μενῶ, I will remain

Future Middle Liquid using μένω

2. μενῇ
3. μενεῖται
Plural
1. μενούμεθα
2. μενεῖσθε
3. μενοῦνται
Formation of the Future Liquid
The future liquid verb is formed by adding an epsilon suffix to the verb stem prior to the person/number endings. This epsilon contracts, however, with the variable vowel of the endings with the result that the future active and middle of a liquid verb resemble the present active and middle/passive of a contract verb in -εω.
Formation of the First Aorist Liquid Verb
First aorist active and middle are made by adding -α to the verb steam rather than -σα. The vowel usually lengthens because the sigma is not present.
First Aorist Liquid using μένω
Singular
1. ἔμεινα, I remained
2. ἔμεινας, you (sing.) remained
3. ἔμεινε(ν)
Plural
1. ἐμείναμεν
2. ἐμείνατε
3. ἔμείναν
Liquid Second Aorist
Some liquid verbs have second aorists (βάλλω, ἔβαλον) or irregular aorists (φέρω, ἤνεγκα), in which case the peculiarities of liquid aorists obviously would not apply.
Reciprocal Pronouns
ἀλληλων, ἀλλήλαις, ἀλλήλους
(Of one another, only the masculine is in the NT, the other two sometimes appear in the LXX.)
They are used when there is a mutual interaction between members of a plural subject. There is no nominative.
Possessive Adjectives
These are adjectives that are declined in the 2-1-2 format. They express possess in the attributive possession, but are rare compared to normal genitive possession using personal pronouns.
They are the words ἐμός, σός, ἡμέτερος, and, ὑπέτερος.
They agree with the nouns they modify in case, number, and gender.
ἀλλήλων
of each other, of one another
ἀπαγγέλλω
I report, announce, declare
δοκέω
I think, seem, seem good
ἕκαστος
ἕκαστος, ἕκαστη, ἕκαστον
each, every
ἐμός
