ho-RAH-ohὁράω, ὄψομαι, εἶδον, ἑώρακα, —, ὤφθην — see
- Suppletive: future ὄψομαι (middle, active meaning), aorist εἶδον (stem ἰδ-), perfect ἑώρακα, aorist passive ὤφθην “appeared”.
- α-contract in the present (ὁρῶ, ὁρᾷς); imperative ἰδέ is oxytone in Attic, the NT has ἴδε.
- NT variants: εἶδαν, εἴδαμεν, ἑόρακα, ἑώρακαν/ἑόρακαν; the aorist middle occurs only as ὄψησθε (Luke 13:28).
Forms in bold occur in the New Testament; the others complete the pattern. A dash (—) marks a form that does not exist.
