6.6 Prefixes formed from prepositions are often added to the six verbs of the previous and current lesson. We discuss examples of such prefixes in more detail later, but for now, note the following verbs, which themselves are quite common.
- δίδωμι give
- ἀποδίδωμι give back (ἀπό away, from)
- παραδίδωμι hand over, deliver (παρά beside, to)
- εἰμί be
- πάρειμι be present (παρ’ beside, to)
- Note that once a prefix is added to εἰμί, the resulting verb form follows the RECESSIVE ACCENT rules; it is no longer an ENCLITIC.
- ἵημι throw
- ἀφίημι send forth; let go, allow (ἀφ’ away, from))
- ἵστημι stand
- ἀνίστημι raise, appoint (ἀν’ up)
- καθίστημι set down, establish (καθ’ down)
- παρίστημι present, offer, supply (παρ’ beside, to)
- τίθημι put, make
- ἐπιτίθημι put on (ἐπί on)
- προστίθημι add to (πρός toward)
