AORISTS HAVE NO PR-INDICATIVE!

IV. [-θη/θε/θει/θ-]. This is the canonic Passive aorist, even though the endings are of the Active!

[See canonical conjugation.]

Division of the different forms of the suffix:

-θη-: in all pa-ind forms except the Epic 3^rd pl in –θεν, in the subj when not contracted, in all imp forms except 3^rd pl, in inf;

-θε-: in the Epic pa-ind 3^rd pl in –θεν, in the opt, in imp 3^rd pl, in all ptc forms >M&Ne, except >M sg N and M&Ne pl D;

-θει-: sometimes in subjunctives (Epic), in ptc >M sg N and >M&Ne pl D  and all >F forms;

-θ-: in normal subjunctives.

The pa-ind 3^rd sg never has the –^ν , always ending in –θη; imp 2^nd sg, which should, so to speak, end in –θηθι, in fact ends in –θητι.

Retrieval of the lexical form: first make the pa-ind 1^st sg form in –θην, then consult the table below (not forgetting the possibility that the lexical form may end in –ομαι instead of –ω)

If this does not produce the desired result, look up the stem in the list of verb stems, where many of these aorists are noted of other than canonic duratives, e.g. ἐδείχθην of δείκνυμι.
