Assembly Line “B”<br />

Two of our verbs travel down Assembly Line “B,” adding kappa () to the Root. As you see from the factory diagram, this Assembly line also uses alpha as its connecting vowel.<br />

You might notice that two of these verbs (below) are μ verbs, though not all such verbs will travel down this Assembly Line. This fact should help remind us of a general principle<br />

throughout our study of <strong>Greek</strong> verbs: there will be may “patterns” to be observed in how verbs form their Principal Parts and combine various elements to create nished forms….<br />

but….there are many unpredictable outcomes. For example, we might have expected μ to join its μ verb partners in traveling down Assembly Line B, but it hasn’t!<br />
