GRAFW: Koine: EGRAMME'NOI (-AI,-A) EISI(N); Homeric and early: GEGRAFATAI
(-NTAI --> ATAI after a consonant stem).

ERXOMAI, since it is intransitive, has no passive as such; the only perfect
tense is active in form: 3 pl.: ELHUQASI(N)

GI(G)NWSKW: EGNWSMENOI (-AI, -A) EISI(N); conjectured early: EGNWNTAI
