Take a look at Croy section 86.
As with the active endings, the aorist past tense middle endings are similar to the imperfect middle endings, but with alpha as the distinctive vowel.
In the aorist system, the middle and passive forms are NOT the same. The forms you are learning in this lesson are aorist middle forms only. You will not learn the aorist passive until Lesson 16.
Here is a chart showing the aorist past tense middle and imperfect past tense middle forms side by side for the verb ἄρχομαι: I begin
| Imperfect Past Middle | Aorist Past Middle | Aorist Past Middle Ending |
|
| I began | ἠρχόμην | ἠρξάμην |
άμην |
| you began | ἤρχου | ἤρξω | ω |
| she began | ἤρχετο | ἤρξατο | ατο |
| we began | ἠρχόμεθα | ἠρξάμεθα | άμεθα |
| you began | ἤρχεσθε | ἤρξασθε | ασθε |
| they began | ἤρχοντο | ἤρξαντο | αντο |
