Lesson 3: Verbs

In this lesson I will say something about the Ancient Greek verb. I will use LLUUOME as an exemple. I understand if this lesson may look a bit messy, so if you don't understand anything, please ask.


LL UU OME = to loosen, to untie, to undo etc./to put an end to something,to make an end of something.

                                2nd LL UU EPS II SE                 You untie

                          Plur. 1st LL UU OMI MM EPS NN             We untie
                               2nd LL UU EPS TT EPS                You untie
                                3rd LL UU OMI UU SS II (NN)            They untie


Terminations:
                                                      -OME
                                                      -EPS II SE
                                                      -EPS II
