 Sera, av.

 by the 1st aor. <wo-as (so, avt&uav, I lived again, from 

 aca/3iai<7/co/ua(). The present and imperfect are little used 

 by the Attics, instead of which they employ w ((tut'), 

 which, on the other hand, borrows the remaining tenses 

 from @ioca ; thus pres. w, imperf. tfyav, fut. /Sioxro/uu, aor. 

 tfiiiai>, perf. 0f0tuKa, perf. pass. /3e/3<ecrai, part. 0f/3<w/xc?o?.
