Hi,
We just wanted to notify that there is a new version
(2.12) of KALOS, the Greek verb conjugator, available
at http://www.conjugator.net . This version is smaller in
size, faster and better presented.
Please download it for free and send us your questions
or comments.
Thanks
Gonzalo and Mariana Diaz (the authors)
I had thought this is just the tool you need [ Perseus is rebuilding its
databases these days, and is off line at certain times -- indeed, the
Oxford mirror on which I sometimes have to rely, is off-line for several
days ].
For a start, it's free <g>
However, on submitting DECOISQE to its morphological analysis, it returns:
Present Optative Middle 2 pp of both DECOMAI, as you surmised, _and_ of DEW.
Yet and also when it displays the full conjugation of DEW it rightly shows
DEOISQE for the present optative middle.
Not perhaps the best recommendation for downloading a c.20 Mb file, I agree.
I'll send you some screengrabs, off-list, to let you see the general look
of the program -- and, errors and omissions included you may well have use
for it.
