XXXIV. Conjectures on the Analogy observed in the Formation of some of the Tenses of the Greek Verb
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 January 2013
Extract
The following conjectures concerning the Analogy observed in the formation of some of the Tenses of the Greek Verb seem worthy of farther inquiry; for, if well founded, they may be useful towards establishing juster rules for the formation of the Tenses in some instances; and, particularly, they will account for certain forms of the Verb in Homer and Hesiod, which, being apparent violations of the usual analogy, have perplexed the grammarians, and reduced them to the necessity of assuming imaginary new Presents, without authority, and for no other reason, but to account for such anomalous forms.
