Suppose I run into a verb I do not know, e.g. ELIPES (ok, I know this one,
but bear with me for the sake of argument...)
I can break this down into E-LIP-E-S. Now if there were a verb LIP-W, then
I would have an imperfect, since the imperfect has the same stem as the
present. But what if there is no such verb...then I probably have a 2d
Aorist, which is morphologically identical, but uses a different stem from
the present.
Two questions: (1) does the 2d Aorist ALWAYS have a different stem from the
aorist, or are there verbs for which the stems are identical? (2) are there
some useful heuristics for finding the verb if I don't recognize it, or
should I just use an analytical lexicon at this point?
Jonathan
