[B-Greek] Paradigms, Example Words and Stem Types

1) I'm trying to gather the various examples that different grammars use for 
the each class of the various noun and verb paradigms (Both Classical, 
Hellenistic and Biblical Greek).  Does anyone have such a list?

2)  Regarding the class name or identifier for each class -- does anyone 
have a table that compares the various ways of labeling them?  Apostolos is 
identified as being n-2a in some places, stem type os_ou on the Perseus site 
and in the 2nd delcension (non-contracted) in Smyth.  Verb stems have 
similar variations on stem type identification.  I learned Greek in the 
1970's and never remember any such numbering system as n-2a.  I know that 
Robinson and Packard use a similar standard in their morphological analysis.

I must assume that a computer standard system has been established.  Does 
this system have a name?  When did it begin?  I don't have Mounce's 
Morphology book yet - just my Smyth, Moulton and other older stuff.  Does 
Mounce use this system.  Is it consistent or are there areas where the 
classification types are still unsettled?  Any help on this would be 
appreciated.

Thanks,
Louis L Sorenson
