Q
Overview
A
We turn verbs to middle voice by taking the stem, adding a thematic vowel (“ο” or “ε” for now) and then adding the appropriate middle voice ending. Use normal vowel combination/contraction rules when adding the thematic vowels and endings. Also remember that σ cannot exist between two vowels, so it will ellide.
