The present stem ἑπ- was originally σεπ-. To form the aorist, the zero- grade stem (σπ-) was augmented with σε- (σεσπ- → ἑσπ-). Aorist subjunc- tive = σπῶμαι; aorist optative = σποίμην; aorist imperative = σποῦ; aorist
infinitive = σπέσθαι; aorist participle = σπόμενος, -η, -ον.

Question 6

γυνή, γυναικός, ἡ

Answer 6

woman, wife [cf. androgynous,
gynecology]
One might expect the nominative singular to be γύναιξ (stem = γυναικ-), but γυνή is used instead; in the vocative singular the stem loses its fi- nal kappa (γύναι). The accent shifts to the ultima in the genitive and da- tive, singular and plural, as if the word had a monosyllabic stem: γυνή, γυναικός, γυναικί, γυναῖκα, γύναι, γυναῖκες, γυναικῶν, γυναιξί(ν),
γυναῖκας.
