Wow! The speed of your progress is amazing, and the result is - again - beautiful. It is fascinating how you design a strict system to derive EAK verbs from Ancient Greek -- in my Terkunan, I currently decide this ad-hoc for each verb, looking at the Latin forms. It seems it might be a good idea for me, too, to think this deeply about the derivation process, because indeed, I faced cases where I wasn't sure and my choice seemed arbitrary and unsatisfactory. And by your system, you manage to find the essence of the verb -- the typical stem you have in mind for a given verb in Greek. At least it works quite well for me. Very well done indeed! **Henrik
