contracted verbs in
future
Doric Future.—Some verbs, which have a future middle with an active meaning, form the stem of the future middle by adding -σεόε-, and contracting -σέομαι to -σοῦμαι. Such verbs (except νέω, πῑ́πτω) have also the regular future in -σομαι.
κλαίω (κλαυ-, 520) weep κλαυσοῦμαι, νέω (νυ-, νευ-) swim νευσοῦμαι (doubtful), πλέω (πλυ-, πλευ-) sail πλευσοῦμαι, πνέω (πνυ-, πνευ-) breathe πνευσοῦμαι, πῑ́πτω (πετ-) fall πεσοῦμαι, πυνθάνομαι (πυθ-, πευθ-) πευσοῦμαι (once), φεύγω (φυγ-, φευγ-) φευξοῦμαι, χέζω (χεδ-) χεσοῦμαι.
a. The inflection of the Doric future is as follows:—
| λῡσῶ, -σοῦμαι | λῡσοῦμες, -σούμεθα | λῡσῶν, -σούμενος |
| λῡσεῖς, -σῇ | λῡσεῖτε, -σεῖσθε | λῡσεῖν, -σεῖσθαι |
| λῡσεῖ, -σεῖται | λῡσοῦντι, -σοῦνται |
b. These are called Doric futures because Doric usually makes all futures (active and middle) in -σέω -σῶ, -σέομαι -σοῦμαι.
c. Attic πεσοῦμαι (Hom. πεσέομαι) from πῑ́πτω fall comes from πετεομαι. Attic ἔπεσον is derived from 2 aor. ἔπετον (Dor. and Aeol.) under the influence of πεσοῦμαι.
Indicative.—The future active and middle add the primary endings, and are inflected like the present; as λῡ́σω, λῡ́σομαι. On the two endings of the second singular middle, see 628. Liquid verbs, Attic futures (538), Doric futures (540) are inflected like contract verbs in -εω; thus φανῶ φανοῦμαι, καλῶ καλοῦμαι, and πεσοῦμαι, follow ποιῶ ποιοῦμαι (385).
a. The only future perfect active from an ω-verb is τεθνήξω shall be dead (584), which is inflected like a future active. Ordinarily the periphrastic formation is used: λελευκὼς ἔσομαι shall have loosed. The future perfect passive (λελῡ́σομαι shall have been loosed) is inflected like the future middle. The periphrastic forms and the future perfect passive rarely occur outside of the indicative.
