Talk:θεάομαι

All of the Imperfect forms in the conjugation table are missing the past indicative augment ἐ-.

I haven't been able to find any attestation for such forms without the augment, so they seem to be spurious.


 * θεώμην -> ἐθεώμην,
 * θεῶ -> ἐθεῶ,
 * θεᾶτο -> ἐθεᾶτο,
 * θεᾶσθον -> ἐθεᾶσθον,
 * θεάσθην -> ἐθεάσθην,
 * θεώμεθα -> ἐθεώμεθα,
 * θεᾶσθε -> ἐθεᾶσθε,
 * θεῶντο -> ἐθεῶντο

Revision may be needed for the "Attic, contracted" table by adding an "Attic, uncontracted" table and delineating the proper forms between the 2 tables. For example:


 * PRESENT INDICATIVE
 * θεάομαι > θεῶμαι,
 * θεάῃ, θεάει > θεᾷ (not *θεᾶαι),
 * θεάεται > θεᾶται,
 * θεαόμεθα > θεώμεθα,
 * θεάεσθε > θεᾶσθε,
 * θεάονται > θεῶνται,
 * NOTE: Contract Subjunctive Forms will be the same


 * IMPERATIVE
 * θεάου > θεῶ (not *θεᾶο),
 * θεάεσθε > θεᾶσθε


 * INFINITIVE
 * θεάεσθαι > θεᾶσθαι

Could someone help fix this who knows how to manipulate the table?

 * It looks like someone has already added the missing augments. About adding an "Attic, uncontracted" table, the verb is always contracted in Attic, so it would be incorrect. Unless the uncontracted forms (like the entry name itself, ) occur in some dialect, they are just theoretical and are only useful for etymological purposes (for learning how contraction works). But you're right that some of the forms are incorrect, and I've changed them in Module:grc-conj (though I suspect that there was a legitimate reason why the forms were added). — Eru·tuon 19:30, 8 December 2018 (UTC)
