21.18 The rules of vowel contraction operate in verbs when the stem ends in one of the vowels α, ε or ο. In these cases, this final vowel of the stem contracts with the thematic vowel of –ω verbs. Observe the following inflections, paying close attention to the contractions that result in the 2nd person singular. Note also that the accent of the infinitive is on the antepenult of the uncontracted form.
