Excerpt from Studien zur Grieshischen und Lateinischen Grammatik, Vol. 6Cum vero lingua graeca saepissime tbema praesentis a pura verbi radice ita distinxisset, ut illud variis sonorum incrementis augeret (cf. Curtius Tempora u. Modi pag. 67), temporis progressu evenit, ut magno discrimine separaretur stirps praesentis temporis a themate aoristi. Qua differentia usi homines graeci duo actionis genera significare consueverunt: praesente actionem vel conditionem durantem vel factum iterum iterumque repetitum, aoristo actionem absolutam, quam mihi liceat momentaneam nominare.Atque in aoristi vi et usu explicandis non abs re puto esse, si ab ea definitione proficiscimur, quam protulit Pfuhlius in libello qui inscribitur "Ueber die Bedeutung des Aoristus" (Dresdae 1867.)About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
