Shelmerdine Chapter 23 1.Athematic (-μι) verbs Almost all verbs in Greek are “thematic” verbs, because they have a thematic vowel (the ο/ε before the endings). They are also known as –ω verbs, since their first principal part ends in –ω. A small number of Greek verbs are “athematic” because they have no thematic vowel. These are known as –μι verbs, since their first principal part ends in –μι.
Shelmerdine Chapter 23 1.Athematic (-μι) verbs These verbs display slightly different endings and sometimes feature small changes to their stems at unusual times. This system of endings also lies behind the forms of the aorist passive system.
Shelmerdine Chapter 23 1.Athematic (-μι) verbs Although there are very few –μι verbs, some are very common. You first learned the most common –μι verb, εἰμί. In Chapter 14, you learned another –μι verb, φη μί “say.”
