<div><font color="#007700">448. Reduplication in the Second
Aorist.--agÙ lead forms the second aorist Íg-agon, ag-agÙ,
ag-agoimi, ag-agein, middle Íg-agomÍn. So also Ín-enka and
Ín-enkon from pherÙ.<br>
<br>
448 D. Hom. has many reduplicated second aorists, as pe-pithon from
peithÙ (pith-) persuade, keklomÍn, ke-klomenos from kelomai
command, le-lathesthai from lanthanÙ (lath-) escape the notice of,
pe-phidesthai from pheidomai (phid-) spare, Ír-aron from arariskÙ
(ar-) join, Ùr-oron from ornu_mi arouse. The indicative forms may
take the syllabic augment, as in e-pe-phradon from phrazÙ (phrad-)
tell. From eniptÙ chide and eru_kÙ check come Íni_papon and
eneni_pon, and Íru_kakon.</font><br>
