Laparola.net/greco has the following:10 ὡς δὲ τὸ ὅραμα εἶδεν, εὐθέως ἐζητήσαμεν ἐξελθεῖν εἰς Μακεδονίαν συμβιβάζοντες ὅτι προσκέκληται ἡμᾶς ὁ θεὸς εὐαγγελίσασθαι αὐτούς..
The notes in NA27 have D, which is really a masterful embellisher of the text (D goes above and beyond the written text clarifying, adding elucidations, dramatizing, etc. more than any other manuscript). The writer replaces the text "ὡς δὲ τὸ ὅραμα εἶδεν, εὐθέως ἐζητήσαμεν ἐξελθεῖν εἰς Μακεδονίαν συμβιβάζοντες" withὡς δὲ τὸ ὅραμα εἶδεν, εὐθέως ἐζητήσαμεν ἐξελθεῖν εἰς Μακεδονίαν, συμβιβάζοντες ὅτι προσκέκληται ἡμᾶς ὁ θεὸς εὐαγγελίσασθαι αὐτούς.

The best way to check on forms you do not know is to use the Perseus hopper Greek word study tool: http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/morph. The exact link for this word is http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/mor ... n&la=greek.διεγερθεὶς οὖν διηγήσατο τὸ ὄραμα ἡμῖν καὶ ἐνοήσαμεν
Learning any language means developing strategies for formulating a number of possibilities for the forms that we find in what we hear or read, and then hold onto those possibilities till the context makes it clear what the meaning is.Wes Wood wrote:I might try that. I have been aware that I struggle more with verbs with short stems. Trying to learn Hebrew has also been difficult for me. I have wondered if these problems are related or coincidental.
It seems that if I want to improve my skills in understanding Greek in terms of itself, and then for paraphrasing Greek in Greek rather than referring to English to express its meaning, it might be well for me to work through D's work.Louis L Sorenson wrote:... D, ... [who] is really a masterful embellisher of the text ... [going] above and beyond the written text clarifying, adding elucidations, dramatizing, etc. more than any other ...
It helps to keep real words central to the learning process and connected to actual meaning and reference. Ancient languages are too easily extracted into artificial systems, a layer removed from the actual language. Unfortunately, such artificiality is drilled into students by pedagogies that typically follow some kind of analysis but are against the way that the human brain works.Stephen Hughes wrote:Learning any language means developing strategies for formulating a number of possibilities for the forms that we find in what we hear or read, and then hold onto those possibilities till the context makes it clear what the meaning is.Wes Wood wrote:I might try that.

According to the way that you have probably learnt Greek, you will have to do that "manually" with your logical thinking either by making a translation to both possibilities then later dropping one of them, or by "parsing" into different forms then prefering one of those parses over the others at a later time.
That requires parallel processing of the language, and strategies for handling uncertainty. Things that are a normal part of language processing, but are not normally taught in dead-language classes.
