The present active participles of γράφω

The participle conjugation below will be added to the page of conjugation tables.

I had picked γράφω as a fairly regular verb that is not λύω.  In this case the choice does not serve us well, as there is only one instance of one form of the present active participle of γράφω in the New Testament: γράφων, 2 John 1:5.  Nevertheless, the conjugation provides the pattern for other verbs. 

Spelling notes: 

1  Since these are present active participles, the beginning of each participle will be γραφ- .

2  All masculine forms except the genitive plural have an acute accent on the initial α:  γράφ- .

3  Accentuation in the feminine and neuter forms is more variable.

4  The masculine genitive and dative are identical in spelling to the neuter genitive and dative, by number.

5  The masculine singular accusative is identical to the neuter plural nominative and accusative.

6  Neuter nominatives in a given number are identical to neuter accusatives in that number.  This rule is universal.
