In the same manner as eis, its compounds οὐδεὶς and μηδεὶς none, are declined; thus οὐδεὶς, οὐδεμία, οὐδὲν; and ἄμφω is declined like δύω.

All the Cardinals from five to one hundred are indeclin

able; after a hundred they are declined.

(b) All the Ordinals are declined like Adjectives of the first declension, as πρώτος, η, ον, first.

THE PRONOUN.

PRONOUNS are either Substantival or Adjectival.

§ 37. Substantival Pronouns are

(α) Personal, ἐγὼ I, σὺ thou, ἓ him.

(α) Possessive, which are derived from Personal Pronouns, as

ἐμὸς mine, σὸς thine, ἡμέτερος ours, ὑμέτερος yours.

(b) The Relative ôs, , who, which, is declined in the same way as the Article, omitting r,

Sing. N. ὃς, ή, δ.

Α. ὂν, ἣν, δ.

G. où, ns, où, &c.

(α) Integatives, τίς, with an accent, who ? ποιος of what sort roots how great? πότερος whether of the two ?

(ε) Demonstratives, ἐκεῖνος he, οὗτος this, ὅδε this here, αὐτὸς himself (in the oblique cases, he), ὁ αὐτὸς the same, all which, as well as the Adjective aλλos another, form the Neuter in 0, like the Article ὁ, ἡ, τό. Οὗτος is thus declined :

THERE are two classes of Verbs:

(α) Those ending in w, as τύπτω I strike.

(3) Those ending in μι, as ἵστημι I place.

§ 39. There are Three Voices,-Active, Middle, and Passive.

The Active and Passive Voices have the same meaning as in Latin; as τύπτω I strike, τύπτομαι I am struck.

The third Voice is called Middle, because it combines the notions of activity and passivity or suffering; and therefore occupies a middle, or intermediate place between the Active and Passive Voices, as TUTTоual I strike myself.

There are, however, some Verbs, which, while they derive their formation partly from the Middle, and partly from the Passive Voice, have a meaning strictly Active, as déxopai I receive; and so, having deponed, or laid aside their proper character, they are, as in Latin, called Deponents.

§ 40. There are Five Moods,-Indicative, Imperative, Subjunctive, Optative, and Infinitive.

VERBS IN Ω.

§ 41. The Moods of Verbs ending in @ have, for the most part, Six Tenses. Of these three are called Primary. The other three are called Historical, because they are generally used in History.

The Primary Tenses are, the Present, Future, and PastPerfect.

The Historical tenses are, the Past-Imperfect, Past-Pluperfect, and the Past-Aorist or Indefinite.

The Aorist and Future have in all Voices two forms, called First and Second. There is also a Third Future in the Passive Voice called the Future-Perfect.

The Imperative and Subjunctive Moods, however, have no Future Tense.

Verbs, like Nouns, have Three Numbers; and there are Three Persons to each Number; except that the Dual in the Active Voice has only two Persons.

Both Persons of the Dual in the Primary tenses of the Indicative Mood, and in all the tenses of the Subjunctive Mood, end in or, but in the Historical tenses of the Indicative, and in the Optative Mood, they end in ην.
