Introduction to Contract Verbs

What is a contract verb? Verb stems ending in: a, e, o An example is: a]gapa<w

2 Scenarios: The big picture

Present and Imperfect:– Vowel of the stem ending and connecting

vowel contract –a]gap + a< + o + men = a]gapw?men

Aorist and Future (the suffix s)– The stem vowel lengthens–a]gap + a< + s + omen = a]gaph<somen

Contraction Rules (FOLDS) 1) First dissimilar overcomes. a, e, or h

which ever one comes first its long vowel is used– a + e = a + h = long a – e + h = h – a]gapa? + ete = a]gapa?te

2) O overcomes.– o + a = w; e + w = w– a]gapa< + w = a]gapw? – Except: e + o = ou; o + e = ou

Contraction Rules (FOLDS)

3) Likes go long.– a + a = a; e + h = h; o + w = w– Except: e + e = ei; (poie + ete = poiei?te)– o + o = ou;

4). Dissimilar diphthong contracts.– o + ei = oi; e + oi = oi; o + ^ = oi

Contraction Rules (FOLDS)

5) Same vowel diphthong drops.– o + ou = ou; e + ei = ei; – poie + eij = poiei?j

5 Contraction Rules: FOLDS

1) F irst dissimilar overcomes. goes long a, e, h – e + h = h

2) O overcomes. o + e e + o = ou 3) L ikes go long. e + e = ei; o + o = ou 4) D issimilar diphthong contracts o + ei = oi 5) S ame vowel diphthong drops

– o + ou = ou

Lemoners revisited

krinw in the future Actually it goes like this:

– krinw + s (replaced by e and then contracted)– krinw + e +w/eij/ei krinw?
