Resultative Aorist.—In contrast to the imperfect (and present) the aorist denotes the result, end, or effect of an action.
Thus, ἤγαγον I brought, ἐβούλευσα I decided (ἐβούλευον I was deliberating), ἔθηξα I sharpened, ἔπεσον I struck in falling (ἔπῑπτον I was in the act of falling), ἔπεισα I succeeded in persuading (1895).
a. The same verb may be a resultative aorist or an ingressive aorist. Thus, ἔβαλον I let fly a missile (ingressive), and I hit (resultative); κατέσχον I got possession of (ingressive), and I kept back (resultative).
b. ἔκτεινά σε Ion 1291 means I tried to kill you, since κτείνω denotes properly only the act of the agent, and does not, like kill, also connote the effect of the action upon another.
