C1: A1; Accented Verbs

  • ἔδιδομεν  incorrect; should be ἐδίδομεν
    No syllable prior to the antepenult may be accented.
     
  • γινωσκώ incorrect; should be γινώσκω
    Verb accent is recessive. However, the long ultima will prevent the accent from going all the way back to the antepenult.
     
  • λάμβανω incorrect; should be λαμβάνω
    The long ultima prevents the accent from going all the way back to the antepenult.
     
  • βλέπετε correct
     
  • ἐρχὸμαι incorrect; should be ἔρχομαι
    Although as a rule, diphthongs are long, final αι is short. Therefore the accent can go all the way back to the antepenult. Also note that a circumflex accent cannot stand on a short syllable.
     
  • σωθῆσομεθα incorrect; should be σωθησόμεθα
     
  • ἔχομεν correct
