Letter Initials for Different Forms of Words

Post by Yacob123 »

Hello. I'm currently studying a Greek concordance and I'm aware that many word entries in certain letter sections begin with different letter other than in their original forms (e.g: the word Ballo being in the Beta section but it can occur as Eballon, beginning with Epsilon when the word is found in its Aorist form). My question is are there any other initial letters for words which are different to their original forms? For instance, I know that Omega can replace the initial letter of words in the Omricon section. Thank you

Hi Yakob,

First a little housekeeping: B-Greek has a user name policy. If you want to continue posting here, please follow these instructions to get your user name changed:

Once you do that, I will change your user name and delete this post.

Sometimes it is more than just letters. Search for "suppletive verbs Greek", or have a look at this resource - Suppletive forms, verbs with multiple roots.
