How to use the conjugation model

Compare the active column of δαμάζω (Conjugation I). The linked table shows that example verb.

Keep the stems and stress shown above for χρίω. Use the example to compare person endings. A similar pattern does not mean that every alternative or expression in the example applies to this verb.

Use the model for active person endings, keeping χρι- in the present and χρισ- for a completed action. Present: χρίω, χρίεις, χρίει. This is the form used for anointing; do not copy the model's ζ.
