Carl, This word occurs in the NT in the present, future and once as an
aorist. In Mark 6:3 we have the word, hHKASIN, which could be the perfect
act 3rd pl with the two K coalesced or, as I prefer, the pres. act ind. 3rd
pl that "borrowed," at the writers hand, the perfect ending from the 4th
p.p.

The aorist form can be found with a search.  But I have one aor. form hHXA
listed in my morphology.

Grace,

Carlton
