Athematic Second Aorist

28.14 There are not many ATHEMATIC SECOND AORISTS, but a handful are common, such as:

• βαίνω, βήσομαι, ἔβην (verb stem: βη-) walk, come, go
• γιγνώσκω, γνώσομαι, ἔγνων (verb stem: γνω-) know, learn, think

To form the ATHEMATIC SECOND AORIST, simply add the augment (ἐ-) and then athematic secondary endings. Note that the ending for the ATHEMATIC SECOND AORIST INFINITIVE is -ναι.
