The diphthongs & and ov, and the long vowels and w, remain unchanged by the augment. A number of verbs commencing with a take the augment 1η ει; as, ἔχω, ἔι-χον. Where the verb begins with a consonant, the consonant is doubled before the augment of the Perfect; as, r-úrsw, T-E-TUPA; T-IW, T-E-Tixa, &c. The rough mute reduplicates its own smooth; as, p-úw, ≈-ś-puxa, X-wpśw, xɛ-xwpnxa. Verbs, compounded with prepositions, take the augment between the preposition and the root ; as, προσφέρω, προστέ φέρον. OF THE TERMINATION. The terminations consist of that part of the verb which immediately follows the Tense Root. We here present the scholar with a Table on the conju gation of the Greek Verb, containing all its changes; and by which the whole subject of Euphony will be seen, in the changes which the root undergoes, in being associated with different letters; as, also, the augment, reduplication, mood and tense. This Table was prepared, on the plan of Professor Thiersch, of Germany, by the author's son, at the Rochester Collegiate Institute, in the summer of 1847, expressly for this work. The Table exhibits, at a glance, all the changes that can take place in the Greek Verb, except the person and number, which will be found in the conjugation that immediately follows. In the Table, the following abbreviations are used:Term, Terminations; Want. Wanting; M. S. Mood Sign. A TABLE, EXHIBITING THE ROOT, VOICE, AUGMENT, MOOD, TENSE AND REDUPLICATION, Active. Passive.

The express design of the preceding Table, is to show the student, at a glance, the Mood, Tense and Voice of the Verb, without the Person and Number; and a Table like the foregoing, is better adapted to this purpose than one more lengthy, over the whole of which the student is obliged to look before he can find the Mood or Tense desired; but for the better information of those who desire it, we give, commencing on the next page, a full conjugation of the verb rúrrw, by which they can ascertain the Person and Number, as well as the other par's of any verb of the first conjugation.
