The Aorist Participle Generally. 
The masculine plural of this participle is formed by changing the 
final yov to ffa yey. Thus, s&irfa karyov t plural karyey (viii. 
iii. 15). The feminine is formed yov to yey a (viii. iii. 16). 
The feminine singular and the feminine plural are the same. Thus, 
karyov , fern. sing, and plur. karyey a . 
When the base of the participle ends ^ W tsh, 3? 2 , or n, and 
elides the ^ y in sftw - yov of the masculine singular, the yey of the 
masculine plural becomes ay (viii. iii. 18), and the yey a of the 
feminine, becomes ay° (viii. iii. 17). Thus,— 
Root kat , spin. Aorist part. kaisov; masc. pi. 
katsdy ; fern. katsdy a . 
„ wothy arise. Aorist part. wobshov ; masc. pi. 
watsay ; fern. wotshdy a . 
,, ^st daz, burn. Aorist part. dazov ; masc. pi. 
dazdy ; fern. dazdy a , 
,, ran, cook. Aorist part. ranov; masc. pi. 
randy; fern. rahdy a . 
Most verbs of the third conjugation ending in these letters do not 
elide the ^ y (see page 60). So also the verbs k a ts, vyafe, 
rote, wuts (see p. 58) of the second conjugation. These verbs form 
the masculine plural either in 'Sftsj ay or ey, and the feminine in 
ay a or ^ ey a (viii. iii. 17). Thus,— 
Root k a Ls, (second conjugation) be wet; masc. sing, 
k a bsydv; masc. plural k a bsdy or k a tsey. 
,, prots, (third conjugation) be pure ; masc. sing, 
protsyov ; masc. plural grdtsdy or J 5ft%*T protsey. 
,, tez, (third conjugation), be sharp; masc. sing. 
tezyov; masc. plural tezdy or tezey. > 
The following verbs have irregular aorist participles. The irregu¬ 
larities are, of course, carried through the aorist tense.
