James Brooks and I published a Morphology of NT Greek in the Spring of 94
that lists every noun that occurs in the NT by its type, 1st declension fem
with ending in a, etc. It lists every adjective, pronoun, number, and
indeclinable form. It lists verbs two ways. A comprehensive lists of
verbs appears in appendix one that list every form of every verb
alphabetically for the lexical form followed by every form of that verb in
the GNT. In chapter eight we list the verbs by types, i.e., MI verbs, W
verbs uncontracted, etc. Following a description of each category there is
a comprehensive list of every of that type that appears in the GNT.
Between appendix one and chapter eight, a student can easily (?) master
verb forms inductively.

Mounce has also published (1994) a comprehensive morphology that has
exhaustive listings.
