> >I just pulled Moulton's Grammar of New Testament Greek, Vol II. Accidence and Word Formation off the shelf. When I came back into Greek after a hiatus of 15 years, >Moulton's "List of Verbs" was in a format that gave me a good overview of a verb and let me get a grasp on verbs without having each verb declined. (Moulton did not take >the place of a comprehensive chart of paradigms.)
> >
> >I have scanned the 1st four pages into a pdf so those unfamiliar with Moulton's format can take a peek at it. It can be found at http://www.letsreadgreek.com/resources
> >/moulton_listofverbs.pdf .
> >
> >Some of the features in Moulton are as follows:
> >Regular verbs in the Present only are not listed
> >Regular contract verbs are not listed
> >Regular verbs in -UW -AZW -IZW which show no fut. act. or middle are not listed.
> >All verbs are in the simplex (with no preposition)
> >
> >It gives 5 columns: Present, Strong Aorist, Weak Aorist, Future, Perfect.
> >Forms for each tense which exist are listed only in the 1st person singular under the appropriate tense column
> >The imperfect, if it exists is listed under the present
> >Middle forms if present are listed under the appropriate tense column
> >The Greek period of each verb is flagged
> >The Morphological class of each verb is listed.
> >A list of prepositions that adhere to it are listed below each verb
> >
> >    (e.g. Comp AN-, AP- DI- EX-....)
> >
> >
> >The verbal adjective(s) associated with the noun.
> >
> >Notes on special forms, etc.
> >Alas- infinitives are not listed.
> 
> You'll need to add pp 197, 200, 211, et al. for infinitives.
> If you just listed the Moulton irregular you would have 44 pp
> If you do the whole verb discussion, it grows to 85. These can be
> put on double sided, 2p/side, at 11 or 21 pages.
> 
> However, students will find that fleshed out tables allow easier drilling,
> finding, and using as a language.
> The charts still put one in a fairly distracting analytical mode in order to
> generate the desired forms.
> And again, some basic, central verbs to the language may be left out,
> and unattested tenses and moods may be left out.
> So it needs to be redone for a newer pedagogy. .
> 
> But it is a great, concise start.
> And he has χρᾶσαι correct for 'you are using' !
> 
> You are going to finish PDF-ing these?
