An Ancient Greek Word List

Here students can find a variety of commonly used Greek nouns and verbs, both irregular and regular. The mnemonic study of these nouns and verbs will fully enhance a student of Classical Greek to grasp the complex language and will forever aid their philological study. This list is divided into two different lists, one listing verbs, and their irregular form and the other common nouns found in the majority of Classical Greek grammar books.

(Under construction: V.1 of the verb list will contain only the present indicative in the first person singular of a verb and other forms will be added at a later date. Additionally, all verbs will be listed alphabetically)
