Are you saying that if I write a sentence in Greek with a sequence of
verbs or participles that all have the same suffix, that constitutes
one kind of Greek verse?
This sounds very much like rhyme or assonance in English poetry --
but much easier to attain in a language with so many suffixes set in
stone.
Thank you,

A tantrum on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.
