3.15 Vocabulary

New Words: Read the new words in Croy Lesson 3 out loud, paying careful attention to the sound of the Greek and the English meanings of each word. Read them over and over again until they begin to sound familiar to you. You should also write them out and say them out loud at the same time.

Parts of Speech: It is best to study vocabulary based on parts of speech, so you need to be clear about the different parts of speech represented in the vocabulary for this lesson. The nouns are listed here with the nominative singular and genitive singular forms. This is what allows you to identify the nouns which are all alpha, all eta, or mixed alpha-eta (θάλασσα, δόξα)
