Dear list,

A question on the underlying form of the verb ZW.
Bauer - Aland's dictionary lists it under ZAW, so does LSJ (simply to refer
you to ZW) though the latter mentions that it is a contraction of ZWW.
Moulton-Howard, Syntax, lists the verb under ZHW, apparently assuming that H
+ W contracts into W (ZW, ZHiS, ZHi etc.).

Is ZW a strange -AW verb, or simply irregular throughout or something else?

Regards,
Dirk Jongkind
