Lesson 21 (Paradigms and Grammar)

Question 1

A stem of a contract vowel ends in what letter(s)?

Answer 1

α, ε, ο (e.g. ἀγαπάω, αἰτέω, πληρόω)

Question 2

Why are contract verbs called such?

Answer 2

Because their final stem vowel (α, ε, ω) contracts with the vowel or dipthong of the verb ending resulting in various “contracted” forms.

Question 3

In a dictionary and in vocabulary lists how are contract verbs presented?

Answer 3

In their “uncontracted” forms (e.g. ἀγαπάω, αἰτέω, πληρόω). These uncontracted forms will never be seen in the Greek New Testament, as the stem vowel of the verb and the ending will contract with one another.
