Ken,
If you can find a copy of Dana & Mantey, they have a complete paradigm
of LUW, including the optative.
HTH,
James

Subject: [B-Greek] Optative Paradigms
There seems to be a difference of opinion among beginning Greek
grammars as to whether or not the Optative mood should be introduced. I
think that for the sake of completeness it should, though I'd be
interested in other opinions. To that end, I've been searching for a
set of verb paradigms that include the optative or the paradigms for
just the optative, to no avail. None of the Greek grammars I have
contain this, and I couldn't find a complete chart for the Optative in
Smyth's grammar at the Perseus site. A perusal of Google for paradigms
led me to lots of comments on the Optative and a few examples, but
nothing like a full chart for LUW in the present, 1 Aorist, etc., and a
verb that has a second aorist to illustrate it. Smyth has a special
section on optatives for MI verbs, but that's not sufficient for my
purposes. I am quite fine with typing up my own chart, but I need the
data for it. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Ken
