Future Active Participle

---

Introduction

To form the future active participle, we take the future stem and add the thematic default participle marker /οντ/. Because it is thematic, the masculine nominative singular is marked by /L:

          λέγ/σ/οντ/L > λέξων (masculine nom. sing.)*
          λέγ/σ/οντ/ > λέξον (neuter nom. sing.)*
          λέγ/σ/οντ/ος > λέξοντος (masculine or neuter nom. sing.)

* τ drops because it can’t end a Greek word.
