Beginners / Prevalence of -agon in Verb Endings
« on: September 16, 2015, 08:41:12 am »
Hi all,
I have a rather (I think) stupid question but for the life of me I can't find an answer to it.
On the wiki, verbs when meaning "to [verb]" (e.g epagon = "to ask") always have the ending -agon. Why is that? Is that just the spelling system or is there some other process being followed to arrive where all verbs seem to have that ending? From what I can from the conjugation page, -agon endings don't seem to be the result of tense/mood/case considerations so I am at a loss.
Thanks!
