eh-GOHἐγώ; pl. ἡμεῖς — I, me; pl. ἡμεῖς we, us
- MorphGNT files the plural ἡμεῖς under ἐγώ, so both numbers are shown.
- μου, μοι, με are enclitic; the emphatic ἐμοῦ, ἐμοί, ἐμέ are used for contrast and after most prepositions.
- The nominative ἐγώ is emphatic: the verb ending already shows “I”.
Forms in bold occur in the New Testament; the others complete the pattern. A dash (—) marks a form that does not exist.
