Doug:

In the future tense, most passives are formed using
the tense fomative QHS (theta eta sigma) these are
known as 1st futures. 

Certain verbs (such as ALLASSW, ANAPAUW, ANOIGW,
hARPAZW, AFAIREW, DERW, DIARPAZW, DIASTELLW,
DIASTREFW, EGGRAFW, EKKOPTW, EKRIPTW, EKTREPW,
ELLISSW, ENTREPTW, METASTREFW, UPOTASSW  and othrs)
however, form their future passives with the tense
formative HS (eta sigma). These are know as 2nd
futures.
There is no such thing as "3rd futures as far as I
know. 

I do not understand what you mean by "aorist
timelines"
