‘We’ complete the plural:

 

Now (with 4a) we fill in the gap for verb endings, with ο-μεν = we.

Thus for φέρω, ‘carry’, we learned

 

I carry

φέρ -ω

we carry

φέρ –ο-μεν

you carry

φέρ -εις

y’all carry

φέρ –ε-τε

s/he carries

φέρ -ει

they carry

φέρ - ουσι

 

This works for all the consonant-stem verbs: ἄγω, βαίνω, βαδίζω, ἐλαύνω, καθίζω, κτλ.

 

But for vowel-stem verbs, like καλ-έ-ω, οἰκ-έ-ω, πον-έ-ω, we have to contract: ε + ο à ου

 

I love

φιλ-έ-ω > φιλῶ

we love

φιλ-έ –ομεν > φιλοῦμεν

you love

φιλ-έ –εις > φιλεῖς

y’all love

φιλ-έ –ετε > φιλεῖτε

s/he loves

φιλ-έ –ει > φιλεῖ

they love

φιλ-έ –ουσι > φιλοῦσι

 

And don’t forget the irregular ‘be’= εἰμί, εἶ, ἐστί, with plurals ἐσμέν,  ἐστέ, εἰσί.
