TO SEE - βλεπ ιδ ορα εορακ
Posted: November 20th, 2013, 10:20 am
One book I have pairs the present and aorist forms:
ὁρᾶν και ιδεῖν
Another book pairs:
βλέπειν και ιδεῖν.
And then there's...
βλέπειν και βλέψαι.
ὁρᾶν και ἑωρακέναι (εορακ- used in the same way as οιδα?)
I'm sure readers see the opening for confusion here. I'm not quite sure how to phrase my question, so I'll put it in two ways:
ὁρᾶν και ιδεῖν
Another book pairs:
βλέπειν και ιδεῖν.
And then there's...
βλέπειν και βλέψαι.
ὁρᾶν και ἑωρακέναι (εορακ- used in the same way as οιδα?)
I'm sure readers see the opening for confusion here. I'm not quite sure how to phrase my question, so I'll put it in two ways:
- 1. When you command a person ὅρα, would you then describe the action as εώρακεν ἤ εἶδεν ἤ ἔβλεψεν.
And, when you command a person βλέπε, would you then describe the action as εώρακεν ἤ εἶδεν ἤ ἔβλεψεν.
2. Are βλεπ- & ορα- interchangeable?
And, are ιδ̀- εορακ- & βλεψ- interchangeable?
