Usage notes

• The aorist tense, εἶδον (eîdon, “I saw”), has a related but different meaning, and its second aorist middle form, εἰδόμην (eidómēn), contrasts with the first aorist middle of this verb, εἰσᾰ́μην (eisámēn).
• The perfect tense, οἶδα (oîda, “I know”), functions as a present tense word with its own meaning.
