Can anyone help me? yeudw is not listed in Trenchard nor can I find it in BDAG. I did find yeudomai, yeusomai, eyeusamhn That form is found in Trenchard (12X in NT). But where is yeudw found?
I hesitate to learn a form that is not in use anywhere. I even hesitate to learn forms used seldom or not at all in the NT(as for example qhgw or blaptw .) For me, memorizing vocab, principal parts, etc. is the most taxing and frustrating of all.
By the way, I use a flash program called GreekFlash Pro by Paradigm Software. It has over 1000 of the words from Trenchard listed with frequency and parts of speech (also Mounce); but one can very easily make one's own vocab sets and drill from English to Greek or Greek to English. It is a big help for me!
Going over the translation in class today was a big help! And it was fun!

As far as I can see the active form yeudw is not in the NT.
The middle form yeudomai occurs in many places as you point out.
I think it is included in the Vocab as another example of a verb with a dental ending to demonstrate the variations that happen when sigma appears in the future and aorist

Hi Stephen,
Thanks for replying, Stephen. But what are you doing up and working on Greek at 3 a.m. in the morning? No wonder you excel!
I have added yeudomai to my vocabulary list. That word is even in the Modern Greek pocket dictionary, as are many other words with the root pseudo--so it is well worth learning. And it also illustrates how a dental ending behaves!
I think if I keep at the vocab and keep analyzing why the ending is what it is, it will eventually sink in. The first time I took a Greek course (over 10 years ago) I never mastered the rules for liquids, contracts, etc. and so I always asked myself, "Why is it like this here and like that in another case." Now it's beginning to come together, as are the accent rules.
It will be interesting to get to Machen. Yesterday the Exercise book that someone from the class recommended (can't remember who) arrived--I bought a used one from Amazon but it is in mint condition. Not a single mark anywhere. If only there were more time!! 24 hours are too short to do all I want to do!
Have fun studying Greek.
Peace and Joy in the Lord
Laila
