Lesson LXXVII - Regular Verbs in ΜΙ, δείκνῡμι.

S711. Learn the conjugation of the present system of δείκνῡμι (δεικ), show, in 787, and the second aorist system of δῡω (δυ), enter, in 791. No second aorist of δείκνῡμι occurs.

Read and note the following in explanation of the paradigms:

S712. 1. In the present system of δείκνῡμι, the personal endings are not added directly to the verb stem δεικ (689), but to the verb stem increased by νυ.

2. In the singular of the present and imperfect indicative active, δεικνυ is lengthened to δεικνῡ, and the third person plural of the present ends in ᾱσι.

3. The subjunctive and optative are formed as in verbs in ω.

4. In the present imperative active, δείκνῡ (for δεικνυ-θι) rejects θι and lengthens the final vowel of the stem.

5. In the second aorist active, δυ is lengthened to δῡ in the indicative, imperative (except in δύντων), and infinitive.

6. The active participles δεικνύς, and δῡς, are declined δεικνύς, δεικνῦσα, δεικνύν, genitive δεικνύντος, δεικνύσης, δεικνύντος, etc.

7. The second aorist middle does not occur.

ὡς δὲ πορευομένων τῶν Ἐλλήνων ἐξεκύμαινε μέρος τι τῆς φάλαγγος, τὸ
ὑπολειπόμενον ἤρξατο δρόμῳ θεῖν˙ καὶ ἄμα ἐφθέγξαντο πάντες, καὶ
πάντες δὲ ἔθεον. λέγουσι δὲ τινες ὡς καὶ ταῖς ἀσπίσι πρὸς τὰ δόρατα
ἐδούπησαν, φόβον ποιούντες τοῖς ἵπποις. πρὶν δὲ τόξευμα ἐξκνεῖσθαι,
ἐκκλίνουσιν οἱ βάρβαροι καὶ φεύγουσι. καὶ ἐνταῦθα δὴ ἐδίωκον μὲν
κατὰ κράτος οἱ Ἔλληνες, ἐβόων δὲ ἀλλήλοις μὴ θεῖν δρόμῳ, ἀλλ᾽ ἐν
τάξει ἕπεσθαι.
