Review and Addenda

Aorist Adverbial Participles

  • Indicates Undefined or Simple aspect
    • Participles have no absolute time element, since they are not Indicative.
    • Participles do have relative time, i.e. their action is relative to the action of the main verb (28.17)
      • Participles are syntactical servants, and as such they submit to the tense of the main verb
      • Aorist Participle is called “aorist” because it is built on the Aorist Tense stem, not because of any time element
    • Hence, in translation, Aspect must be the first and foremost consideration
    • Whereas Present participle indicates action that is occurring at the time of the main verb
    • Aorist participle indicates an action that has simply occurred (simple aspect) at the time of the action of the main verb. Simple aspect tells you nothing else except that the action has occurred
    • To help in understanding this, review 28.18
  • Translation
    • It is difficult to carry the aspect of the Aorist participle into English using -ing
    • Translate with “after…” e.g. “after he studied, he took the test” (See 28.18)
    • The meaning of the Aorist adverbial participle is always determined by its relationship to the main verb in context.
  • Formation - Built upon the (unaugmented) Aorist tense stem
    • the tense stem is unaugmented, since participles do not have absolute time, hence there can be no temporal augment (28.6)
    • There can be confusion between an unaugmented Aorist Tense Stem, and the Present Tense Stem when the augment is a lengthened vowel, or with compound verbs (28.6) The remedy is to know the verbal roots.
  • 1st Aorist: Tense stem + Tense Formative σα + Participle morpheme + Case endings (28.5)
    • 1st Aorist Active paradigm (28.7)
      • uses ντ as Participle morpheme
      • 3-1-3 Adjective pattern
      • like πᾶς, πᾶσα, πᾶν
    • 1st Aorist Middle paradigm (28.9)
      • uses μενο/η as Participle morpheme
      • 2-1-2 Adjective pattern
    • 1st Aorist Passive paradigm (28.10)
      • Tense Formative θη which shortens to θε, combined with participle morpheme => θεντ
      • uses ντ as Participle morpheme
      • In the feminine the participle morpheme ντ is replaced by ισα
      • 3-1-3 Adjective Pattern
      • Nominative Masculine Singular: ντ drops out because of the ς, compensatory lengthening of the ε (to compensate for loss of ντ) *θε + ντ + ς => θες => θεις
  • 2nd Aorist: Tense stem + Connecting Vowel + Participle morpheme + Case endings (28.11)
    • 2nd Aorist Active paradigm (28.12)
      • uses ντ as Participle morpheme
      • 3-1-3 Adjective Pattern
      • looks like Present Active Particple, except for the stem, e.g. βάλλοντες (Present) cf. βάλοντες (Aorist)
    • 2nd Aorist Middle paradigm (28.13)
      • uses μενο/η as Participle morpheme
      • 2-1-2 Adjective pattern
      • looks like Present Middle/Passive Particple, except for the stem.
    • 2nd Aorist Passive paradigm (28.14)
      • uses ντ as Participle morpheme
      • In the feminine the participle morpheme ντ is replaced by ισα
      • 3-1-3 Adjective Pattern
      • Nominative Masculine Singular: ντ drops out because of the ς, compensatory lengthening of the ε (to compensate for loss of ντ) *ε + ντ + ς => ες => εις
      • occurs relatively rarely

Participles in General

  • Present or Aorist, the feminine participles always use 1st declension endings
  • Present or Aorist, active participles are 3rd declension in masculine and neuter
  • Present middle and passive, and Aorist middle particples are 2nd declension in masculine and neuter
  • Aorist passive participles are 3rd declension in masculine and neuter
  • Knowing your verbal root is critical for distinguishing Present Active and Middle from 2nd Aorist Active and Middle - Review and work through 28.16
  • Note Rules of Accent in paradigms

The Lord's Prayer

ΚΑΤΑ ΜΑθθΑΙΟΝ 6.9-13
Πάτερ ἡμῶν ὁ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς·
    ἁγιασθήτω τὸ ὄνομά σου·
    ἐλθέτω ἡ βασιλεία σου·
    γενηθήτω τὸ θέλημά σου, ὡς ἐν οὐρανῷ καὶ ἐπὶ γῆς·
τὸν ἄρτον ἡμῶν τὸν ἐπιούσιον δὸς ἡμῖν σήμερον·
καὶ ἄφες ἡμῖν τὰ ὀφειλήματα ἡμῶν, ὡς καὶ ἡμεῖς ἀφήκαμεν τοῖς ὀφειλέταις ἡμῶν·
καὶ μὴ εἰσενέγκῃς ἡμᾶς εἰς πειρασμόν, ἀλλὰ ῥῦσαι ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ τοῦ πονηροῦ.
ὅτι σοῦ ἐστιν ἡ βασιλεία καὶ ἡ δύναμις καὶ ἡ δόξα εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας. ἀμήν. (Erasmian)

χάρις ὑμῖν καὶ εἰρήνη,
