First Accent Rules

ultima = the last syllablepenult = the next to last syllableantepenult = the syllable before the next to last

1. There are three accent marks in Greek:

V ` \ (acute: a rising pitch) may fall on the ultima, penult, antepenult. Itmay fall on a long or short vowel/diphthong.

Examples: 6"8`H, �D,JZ, B"4*\@<, �<2DTB@H

� Î Â (grave: the steady pitch) falls only on the ultima. It is used when aword accented with an acute on the ultima is followed by another wordwithout punctuation between them. Like the acute in may fall on a long ora short.

Examples: Ò 6"8ÎH �<2DTB@H, º 6"8¬ RLPZ, JÎ 6"8Î< B"4*\@<

� ä ± (circumflex: a rising-falling pitch) may fall on the ultima or penult,only on long vowels/diphthongs.

Examples: *äD@<, Ò*@Ø

2. How far back an accent can go depends on the LENGTH OF THEULTIMA:

SHORT ULTIMA: the acute can go on the antepenult, penult, orultima: �<2DTB@H, B"4*\@<, Ò*`H. The circumflex can go on thepenult: B8@ØJ@H, z!20<"Ã@H.

LONG ULTIMA: the only accent that can go on the penult is theacute: B8@bJ@L. If the ultima is long, no accent can go furtherback that the penult: �<2DfB@L.

3. The accent of verbs is recessive: it goes as far back as possible. That is,if the ultima is short, the accent goes on the antepenult; if the ultima is longthe accent goes on the penult.

Examples: $@b8@:"4, BX:B@:,<, $@L8,L`:,2", B"4*,b,4H

4. The accent of nouns is inherent: that is, it must be learn with each noun

Page 4: Beginning Greek (1)

as a part of the word. The accent of nouns is persistent: it stays in the sameplace unless it is forced to move forward in the word by a change in thelength of the ultima in different forms of the word.

Examples: �<2DTB@H, �<2DTB@4 -- �<2DfB@L, �<2DfBT<B8@ØJ@H, B8@ØJ@< -- B8@bJ@L, B8@bJå

5. __________________'s rule (fill in your own name, or the name of afellow student):

IF 1. the ultima is short and2. the penult is long and3. the penult is accented,

THENthe accent is the circumflex.

Examples: *äD@<, B8@ØJ@H, (<ä:"4

6. Study the paradigms in the book for additional examples. Try to put inaccents in your exercises for additional practice.

Endings often are dropped when words come into English, but theyare usually kept in proper names, but are changed into Latin (that is,for traditional spellings; but some Greek scholars prefer to keep thespelling closest to Greek). Try to be consistent.

CHAPTER IPart 1, VERBS

1. The characteristics of verbs in Greek (what the endings show): person number tense voice mood

Verbs are defined by these characteristics. Chapter Oneintroduces the present (tense) active and middle/passive (voices)indicative (mood) and infinitive.

2. VOICE:Active: "I stop" [something]Middle: "I cease" [i.e. "stop myself" doing something]Passive: "I am being stopped" [from doing something by somebody

or something else]

In the present tense the middle and passive have the same form. Thatmeans that you can translate them either way, unless there is aCONTEXT that tells you which is meant.

3. ENDINGS for the present indicative and infinitive:Indicative

Active ------- Middle/Passive-T -@:"4 I-,4H -,4 you (thou)-,4 -,J"4 he, she, it-@:,< -`:,2" we-,J, -,F2, you (y'all, ye)-@LF4(<) -@<J"4 they

Infinitive-,4< -,F2"4 to

4. How to translate the present: BX:B,4H "you send", "you are sending".BX:B,4H; "are you sending?" "do you send?". BX:B,J"4 "she/he is being sent"(passive); "she/he is sending for" [something] (middle)

5. Deponent verbs: some verbs have no active forms (or no active formsin certain tenses). They use only the middle/passive endings, but aretranslated as if they were active. The verbs in chapter one that are deponentare:

$@b8@:"4(\(<@:"4 (has active forms in the perfect tense)§DP@:"4 (has active forms in the aorist and perfect tenses)

Page 7: Beginning Greek (1)

CHAPTER IPart 2, NOUNS

1. The characteristics of nouns in Greek are gender number case. The articlegiven with each noun provides a gender sign.

2. The CASES show what nouns (and pronouns and adjectives) are doing inthe sentence. The case endings show the relationships of nouns to otherwords in the sentence. There are four cases in Greek (plus the vocative,which was not considered a case by the early grammarians):

Nominative: the case of the grammatical subject of the sentence (andanything that agrees with the subject or renames it with a linkingverb). The subject is the word that determines the person and numberof the verb. The verbs (\(<@:"4 (become), ,Æ:\ (be), N"\<@:"4 (seem) takethe nominative case in the predicate.

Genitive: the case of one noun depending on another noun. Thegenitive is used for possesssion (of), separation (from), and as object ofverbs meaning "rule".

Dative: the case of the party interested in the action (for), the indirectobject (with verbs like give, speak: to), the instrument with whichsomething is done (by, with), place where (in, on, at), the object of verbsmeaning "trust".

Accusative: the case of the direct object (the thing caused or most directlyaffected by the verb), the end of motion (to, as in go to).

Vocative: the case of direct address, used to call someone a name or byname.

Learn the first four cases by heart. Learn the ARTICLE by heart.

Make a chart of the case endings:

Some hints about cases and prepositions

1. How to recognize the direct object in English:The usual word order in English is subject-verb-[indiect object]-direct object.The object most directly caused (or affected) by the action of the verbis the direct object. It is easily recognizable in Greek because it is in theaccusative case. For example, We give (our) loved ones presents.

We | give | presents ||loved ones

We = subject give = (transitive) verbloved ones = indirect object: dative J@ÃH N\8@4Hpresents = direct object: accusative *äD"

Another way of expressing the same thing in English is We give presentsto our loved ones. If you are in doubt try this substitution. When thereare two objects, the object that makes sense as the object of "to" is theindirect object.

PROBLEM: In Greek, some verbs take other cases than the accusative.That is, the object in the English sentence will not always beaccusative in Greek. English does not have an accusative case.Greek has three oblique cases (genitive, dative, accusative). MostGreek verbs take the accusative as their object, but verbs meaning"trust" take the dative; verbs meaning "rule" take the genitive, forexample. This must be learned by practice. <@:@4H B4FJ,b@:,<. <ZFT<�DP@:,<.

2. Translating English prepositions:

of = the genitive case (without a preposition in Greek)

by = the dative case (usually without a preposition in Greek) if it refers tothings (by means of: the instrumental dative); if it refers to persons, byis ßB` with the genitive (agent).

with = the dative without a preposition if it is the same as "by means of". Ifwith means "in the company of", it is Fb< with the dative. With an axe isinstrumental; with their friends is accompaniment.

to = the dative case if it is equivalent to an indirect object. If it is in anexpression like go to the islands, then it is a preposition with theaccusative.

Chapter II: Summary and Check list

I Imperfect tense: for action going on in the past (like our pastprogressive). Translate, I was --ing, I used to --, I kept --ing. Middle: I was --ing formyself, etc. Passive: I was being --, etc.

Augment: ¦- if the verb begins with a consonantif the verb begins with a vowel:

" > 0 �(T > µ(@<, > 0 §DP@:"4 > ³DP`:0<

sometimes , > ,4 §PT > ,ÉP@<

The imperfect has no infinitive.

II The verb "to be": an irregular verb to be memorized.Present Imperfect

,Æ:\ ¦F:X< µ µ:,<,É ¦FJX µF2" µJ,¦FJ\ ,ÆF\ µ< µF"<

For the accent of ,Æ:\, see the textbook, p.57-8.

Note that ,Æ:\ is used with the nominative in the predicate.

III Adjectives in -@H -0 -@< (first and second declension)

Adjectives agree with their nouns in gender, number, and case.

Some adjectives have just the -@H -@< endings. Most compoundadjectives are of this type. They use the -@H endings for bothmasculine and feminine.

Positions of the Adjective:1. Attributive:

2. Predicate (add is/are to your translation):adjective article-nounarticle-noun adjective

IV The Relative PronounForms (see p. 65 of the textbook): learn the forms; write them on acard.

In English: who, whose, to whom, whom, which, that (whatmeaning "the things which"). The English forms are the samein both singular and plural. The forms of who are for persons;which is used of things; that can be used for either persons orthings.

Use and Definitions:

A clause contains a subject and a predicate. (The subject is thatabout which something is said. The predicate is what is saidabout the subject.) A sentence contains at least one clause, butnot every clause is a sentence. A clause that depends on another(and so does not form a sentence by itself) is called a dependent(or subordinate) clause. Relative pronouns introduce dependentclauses of a type called relative clauses.

Relative clauses introduced by relative pronouns (as opposed torelative adverbs) are adjectival, that is they describe or modify anoun or pronoun in the main clause (or the clause upon whichthey depend). This noun or pronoun is called the antecedent (orthing that goes before). The relative pronoun must agree withits antecedent in gender and number, but, since the relative pronounbelongs to a different clause (subject predicate group) from itsantecedent, its case depends on the part it plays in its own clause.

To determine which of the forms to use, first figure out what therelative refers to. This will eliminate all but the four forms thatare the right number and gender. To decide which case to useyou must understand the sentence grammatically. Try to figure

Page 12: Beginning Greek (1)

12

out whether the relative is a subject or an object or a possessivein its own clause. Any relative sentence can be transformed intotwo (childish) sentences by substituting the antecedent for therelative pronoun.

Example:The man whom we see is honest.

The main clause (which can be a complete sentence) is: The man ishonest.

The relative clause is: whom we see ... Notice that this is not acomplete sentence.

The relative pronoun whom refers to man in the main clause so itmust be masculine singular. One of these forms: ÓH @â ø Ó<

We can figure out what case it should be by analyzing the clauseor by making it into a sentence.

we|see|whom OR We|see|the man.subject|vb. object subj|verb object

We is the subject. The man is the object of the verb see, so we willput it into the accusative: Ó<.

ÓH º Ó who which that

@â ½H @â whose, of whom, of which

ø Á ø to/for/with whom/which

Ó< »< Ó whom, which, that

@Ê "Ê � who which that

ô< ô< ô< whose, of whom, of which

@ÍH "ÍH @ÍH to/for/with whom/which

@àH �H � whom, which, that

Study Sheet on Relatives (50 points)

A relative pronoun agrees with its antecedent in _________ and _______,but its _______ depends on its role in its own _______.

In each of the sentences below:a. Identify the relative pronoun and antecedent.b. Tell what number and gender the antecedent is and list the forms

of the relative in that number and gender.c. Figure out what case the antecedent is and what case the relative is.d. Give the Greek words for the antecedent and the relative.

Example: The women to whom you are writing are coming here today.

a. Relative = [to] whom. Antecedent = the women.b. The women is feminine and plural. The forms of the relative in

feminine plural are "Ë ô< "ÍH �H.c. The words the women are nominative because they are the subject of

the verb are coming (§DP@<J"4). The relative is dative because it isindirect object.

d. "Ê (L<"Ã6,H ... "ÍH ...

Accent Rules (introduction through chapter II)

1. The acute may go on either long or short and on the ultima (�D,JZ),penult (N\8@H, �(T, B"4*,bT) or antepenult (B4FJ,b@:,<, �<2DTB@H).

2. The circumflex may go only on long and on the ultima ($@L8­H) orpenult (*äD@<).

3. The grave goes only on the ultima. It may go on long or short. It isused when a word accented with the acute on the ultima is followed byanother word without any intervening punctuation (J¬< (<ä:0<).

4. How far back the accent can go depends on the length of the ultima.

a. If the ultima is short, the acute can go back as far as theantepenult, but if the ultima is long, the acute can go back only tothe penult.

�<2DTB@H �<2DfB@L B"4*,b@:,< B"4*,bT

b. If the ultima is short the circumflex can go as far back as thepenult, but if the ultima is long, a circumflex on the penult (informs with a short ultima) will change to the acute.

*äD@< *fD@L

c. If the ultima is short and the penult is long and accented, then theaccent is the circumflex.

(<ä:"4 *äD" µ(@<, ,ÉP@<

5. The accent of verbs is recessive. That means that it goes back as far asit can: (in words of more than two syllables) to the antepenult if theultima is short, to the penult if the ultima is long.

B4FJ,L`:,2" BX:B@:,< B4FJ,b,4< $@L8,bT

Because in the imperfect the monosyllabic endings are short (-@<, -,H, -,), the circumflex will fall on the penult if it is long in words oftwo syllables: µ(@< µ(,H µ(,.

Page 16: Beginning Greek (1)

16

6. The accent of nouns and adjectives is persistent. It stays where itstarts unless forced (by a change in the length of the ending) to goelsewhere.

�<2DTB@H, �<2DTB@<, �<2DTB@4 -- �<2DfB@L, �<2DfBå, �<2DfB@4H

a. Nouns of the first and second declensions if accented on theultima take the circumflex in the genitive and dative singular andplural:

$@L8­H, $@L8± $@L8ä<, $@L8"ÃH 2,@Ø, 2,è 2,ä<, 2,@ÃH

b. Nouns of the first declension are circumflexed in the genitiveplural. This is an exception to rule 6.

(<T:ä<

6 b (1). The accent of adjectives in the feminine genitiveplural is like that of the masculine and neuter (if the forms arethe same, as they are in -@H, -0, -@< and -@H, -", -@< [ch. III]adjectives).

7. Enclitics are accented as if they were syllables added to the wordsbefore them.

Examples:a. �<2DTB@\ ,ÆF4: 2 accents on a word accented on theantepenult (second accent on the ultima before the enclitic).

b. *äDV ¦FJ4: 2 accents on a word with circumflex on thepenult (second accent on ultima).

c. 8`(@4 ,ÆF\: a two syllable enclitic will receive an accent onits ultima after a word accented with an acute on the penult.

d. $@L8Z ¦FJ4: an acute on the ultima does not change to agrave if the word following is an enclitic.

e. ³ <b FX B@L 2,ÎH ÇFP,4: in a series of enclitics the first areaccented and the last left unaccented.

f. For emphasis at the beginning of a sentence or clauseenclitics are accented: §FJ4.

Uses: fill in one example of each use: The dative is the case of theinterested party. It also has some special uses in Greek, such asinstrument and place where.

Indirect object: the person or thing affected but indirectly bythe action, NOT caused by the action of the verb. Most oftenseen with verbs like give to, send to, speak to, write to. Translated asindirect object (in English the first object: Give me an "A." Tell me a story.) or with "to" ("Give that to Paul").

With special verbs: certain verbs take the dative althoughtheir counterparts in English take the "objective case." Modern English does not have dative and accusative. Verbsmeaning "trust" take the dative (B,\2@:"4, B4FJ,bT).

Advantage or disadvantage: the person for whose benefit orto whose detriment something is or is done. For example afterthe expressions "good for" or "bad for." Translate "for".

Means: the instrument with or by which something is done. Translate: "by", "with", "by means of".

Accompaniment: with the preposition Fb<. There is adifference between means and accompaniment. "With anaxe" is means; "with their [=the] friends" is accompaniment. If in doubt try "along with". Translate: "with", "along with","together with".

Manner: tells how something is done. In Greek no prepositionis needed. Translate: "in", "with".

Respect: see the accusative of respect which is more

common. No preposition. Translate: "in".

Place where (locative): with prepositions meaning in, at, by,near, beside (¦<, BD`H, B"DV, ßB`) to show the place in which. Use with verbs of rest.

IV Write in Greek:We will go into these small tents and we will hear the philosophers (= wise

ones) who will speak to the citizens about justice and virtue. For these (i.e.

justice and virtue) will make the human beings good, but they are difficult to

understand. The little children will also hear the poets who write about the sea

and sky and about the lives of the gods and goddesses. The test (B,ÃD") will be

difficult for the children but with luck they will become wise. It is time to go

away from these ugly places (place = J`B@H) and to take our books to the islands

of the sun on which we will have neither tests nor labors. But we will always

write to our (=the) friends who were remaining beside the road.

CHAPTER IV

I Aorist Active and Middle (not passive)Use: for a single (or simple) act in past time (as opposed to theimperfect which talks about action going on in the past). Translateas the simple past (and sometimes as the pluperfect).

The aorist infinitive (except in indirect statement) may be translated the

same as the present. The difference is that the present talks about the

action as in progress, the aorist as the simple action.

(DVN,4< "to be writing" (DVR"4 "to write"

Form: There are two sets of forms, first aorist and second aorist. Nearlyall verbs have either a first or a second aorist. Only a few have both. The two forms are like our strong (irregular, e.g. sing sang sung) andweak (regular, work worked worked).

CHAPTER VII

Participles

Present Active and Middle-Passive,Future and Aorist, Active and Middle

1. Definition: A participle shares two parts of speech. It is a verbal adjective.

As an adjective it has gender, number, and case.As a verb it has tense and voice, and may take an object (in whatever

case the verb takes).

2. Uses: In general there are three uses: attributive, circumstantial, andsupplementary.

Attributive: with the article, the participle is used as a noun or adjective.Examples: @Ê §P@<J,H, J� Ð<J", Ò :X88T< PD`<@H.

Circumstantial: without the article, but in agreement with a noun orpronoun (expressed or implied), whether a subject or an object in thesentence. This is an adjectival use. The circumstantial participleexpresses:

TIME: (when, after, while) [�:", "ÛJ\6", :,J">b]CAUSE: (since) [�J,, ñH]MANNER: (in, by)CONDITION: (if) [if the condition is negative with :Z]CONCESSION: (although) [6"\, 6"\B,D]PURPOSE: (to, in order to) future participle [ñH]

GENITIVE ABSOLUTE: a noun / pronoun + a participle in thegenitive form a clause which gives the circumstances of theaction in the main sentence. In the genitive absolute, the nounis the subject of the participle.

noun in the genitive | participle in the genitive

Supplementary: the participle depends on a verb and completes themeaning of such verbs as: B"bT, �DPT, "ÆFPb<@:"4, N"\<@:"4.

Pay special attention to the idiomatic uses of the participle with:JL(PV<T, 8"<2V<T, N2V<T.
