Notes

Takes a predicate nominative, like εἰμί. γίνομαι has a wide range of meaning. We have found it helpful to think in two categories, "to be," or "to come into being." Most uses fall into one of these two groups.

The root is clearly visible outside of the present tense stem. ἐγενόμην is an aorist middle deponent.
