15.5 Vocabulary entries for verbs in a Greek dictionary are listed alphabetically by the form of the 1st person singular present indicative active, e.g. δείκνυμι or λύω. (This dictionary entry form is called a word’s lemma.) Because adding –σ– to the verb stem can result in some unexpected forms, vocabulary entries also normally include the 1st person singular future indicative active as well.
These two forms are called PRINCIPAL PARTS, because they are principal forms that indicate how other tenses are formed. The following are verbs from the vocabulary of previous lessons, now with their second principal part – the 1st person singular future indicative active – added.
Note: Some verbs never occur in the future indicative active. In addition, –ω verbs that use the –ν– in the present tense rarely occur in the future indicative active or are irregular in some way. If a verb from a previous lesson is not repeated here, it is because it does not occur in the future indicative active, or its form is covered in later lessons.
