Introduction

The athematic aorist active participle is formed by adding /ντ/ directly to the base. Because there is no theme vowel to lengthen, the masculine nominative singular is marked by /ς:

          βά/ντ/ς > βάς (masculine nom. sing.)
          βά/ντ/ > βάν (neuter nom. sing.)
          βά/ντ/ος > βάντος (masculine or neuter gen. sing.)
