Introduction

• Verbs whose stems end in alpha, epsilon, or
  omicron are called contract verbs. The final
  vowel of the stem is called the contract vowel.
• The stem of avgapa,w is agapa.
• Contract verbs follow the same rules as the other
  verbs in their various forms. The difference is
  that when their final stem vowel comes in contact
  with the connecting vowel, the two vowels
  contract, thus forming a different vowel or
  dipthong.
• poie omen poiou/men
• Contract verbs are categorized by their final
  stem vowel each category is consistent in the
  way it forms its endings.
