David:
Jay is confusing on this point. To clear up the
confusion Mounce calls the "verb stem" a "root" and
keeps the word "stem" to refer to various
manifestations of the root in the various tenses.
So you have the root (verb stem) of BALLW which is BAL
You have the present tense stem of BALLW which is BALL
You have the aorist active tense stem of BALLW which
BAL
You have the perfect tense stem of BALLW which is BL
I hope this helps
