Notes on the Conjugation of δίδωμι

700. 1. In the singular of the present indicative active δο is lengthened to δω, and the third person plural ends in ᾱσι.

2. In the imperfect indicative active, ἐδίδουν, ἐδίδους, ἐδίδου are formed as if from a contract verb διδόω. Cf. ἐδήλουν, ἐδήλους, ἐδήλου (783). Similarly δίδου in the present imperative active. Cf. δήλου (783).

3. For the formation of the subjunctive and optative, see 694, 3 and 4, but here in the subjunctive ο + ῃ = ῳ, not οι (340).

4. The singular of the second aorist indicative active does not occur. It is supplied by the first aorist forms ἔδωκα, ἔδωκας, ἔδωκε, formed with the tense suffix κα for σα (148).

5. In the second aorist imperative active, δός is irregular, and the infinitive δοῦναι (for δο-εναι) is formed with the ending εναι.

6. The active participles διδούς and δούς are declined like λύων (754), except in the nominative singular masculine.
