[In traditional grammars durative is named "present", durative past indicative "imperfect"]

4. [– (ι)σκ-] Here again the other phases do not have the –(ι)σκ- and may have different stems from the one in the durative. A full enumeration (following the durative other stems are set out, all of which will be found in the list of verb stems):

ἁλίσκομαι, ἁλο-, ἁλω-

ἀλύσκω, ἀλυκ-

ἀρέσκω, ἀρε-

βλῴσκω, μβλω-, μολ-

γηράσκω, γηρα-

εὑρίσκω, εὑρ-, εὑρε-, εὑρη-

ἡβάσκω, ἡβα-, ἡβη-

θνῄσκω, θνη-, θαν-, θνε-

θρῳσκω, θρω-, θορ-

μίσγω, μιγ-, μειγ-

πάσχω, παθ-, πει-, πονθ-

φάσκω, φα-, φη-

χάσκω, χαν-, χην-

Εὑρίσκω has many pa-ind forms without augmentation. In Attic, only the compound ἀποθνῄσκω occurs; μίσγω is not the only durative of this verb: there is also μείγνυμι. Next to χάσκω there is χαίνω.

There are a good many more verbs ending in –σκω, but either these have no other phases than the durative, or they present no problems.
