I hardly think this statement is correct (unfortunately, you don't provide a reference). I assume he is considering verbs which have an pres act inf ending in -οῦν -OUN which would make it an O contract verb such as δηλόω DHLOW. Let us therefore take a look at this verb. It (among other places) appears in 1 Cor 3.13
ἑκάστου τὸ ἔργον φανερὸν γενήσεται, ἡ γὰρ ἡμέρα δηλώσει, ὅτι ἐν πυρὶ ἀποκαλύπτεται·καὶ ἑκάστου τὸ ἔργον ὁποῖόν ἐστιν τὸ πῦρ [αὐτὸ]δοκιμάσει.
hEKASTOU TO ERGON FANERON GENHSETAI, hH GAR hHMERA DHLWSEI, hOTI EN PURI APOKALUPTETAI; KAI hEKASTOU TO ERGON hOPOION ESTIN TO PUR [AUTO] DOKIMASEI.
If this means "treat, reckon, to account" then the nature of the works is only accounted as revealed rather than actually being revealed.

Subject: [B-Greek] Justify- Diakioun
I was reading William Barclay on Romans and makes a claim for Greek verbs ending in "oun".
He says this.All Greek verbs that end in the -oun mean not to make someone something, but to treat , reckon , to account him as something.
MY question without getting into his attempt to clarify what he thinks is produced by the application of the justifying work he is referring to, Can he make this claim? That all Greek verbs ending thus ( oun) mean to treat as righteous rather than make Righteous...
I understand the point he is making but am left believing he is overstepping the Greek in his claim? He is taking his text from Romans 3: 19-26
I do think he may have the spelling wrong
inserting the Alpha in the wrong place. so probably should read....dikaioun
So any comments would be helpful
