1Which diacritical mark in Ancient Greek indicates an initial aspirated /h/ sound (spiritus asper) at the beginning of a word?
A.Rough breathing mark (῾)
B.Smooth breathing mark (᾿)
C.Circumflex accent (͂)
D.Iota subscript (ͅ)
Explanation: The rough breathing mark (spiritus asper) is placed over an initial vowel or rho to indicate that the word begins with an aspirated /h/ sound, as seen in ἵππος (hippos).
2Which constraint applies strictly to the position of the Ancient Greek circumflex accent (͂)?
A.It can fall on short or long vowels on any of the last three syllables
B.It can only fall on long vowels or diphthongs on the ultima or penult
C.It can only fall on the antepenult when the ultima is short
D.It can only fall on initial consonants
Explanation: The circumflex accent represents a rising-falling tone and can only be placed over naturally long vowels or diphthongs, restricted to the last two syllables (ultima and penult).
3In Attic Greek, what characterizes a first-declension feminine noun classified as 'alpha pure' (such as σοφία or ἡμέρα)?
A.The stem ends in ε, ι, or ρ, preserving alpha throughout the singular declension
B.The stem ends in a labial stop, changing alpha to eta in all cases
C.The stem ends in a sibilant, changing alpha to eta in the nominative plural
D.The alpha changes to omega in the accusative singular
Explanation: Feminine nouns of the first declension whose stem ends in ε, ι, or ρ (alpha pure) retain the vowel alpha across all singular cases (e.g., σοφία, σοφίας, σοφίᾳ, σοφίαν).
4What are the nominative singular and accusative singular endings for standard second-declension masculine nouns like λόγος?
A.-ος (nominative) and -ον (accusative)
B.-ης (nominative) and -ην (accusative)
C.-υς (nominative) and -υ (accusative)
D.-ωρ (nominative) and -ορα (accusative)
Explanation: Standard second-declension masculine nouns feature the nominative singular ending -ος and accusative singular ending -ον (e.g., ὁ λόγος, τὸν λόγον).
5What is the first-person plural active indicative ending for thematic (-ω) verbs in the present tense (e.g., λύω)?
A.-ομεν
B.-ετε
C.-ουσι(ν)
D.-εις
Explanation: The thematic present active indicative ending for the first-person plural is -ομεν, producing forms like λύομεν ('we loose / we destroy').
6Which case ending designates the nominative plural of masculine second-declension nouns like ἵππος?
A.-οι
B.-ους
C.-ων
D.-οις
Explanation: The nominative plural of second-declension masculine nouns ends in -οι (e.g., οἱ ἵπποι - 'the horses').
7When a third-declension dental stop stem (such as νυκτ- from νύξ) combines with the dative plural ending -σι(ν), what sound change occurs?
A.The dental stop drops before sigma, resulting in νυξί(ν)
B.The dental stop assimilates to double sigma (-σσ-)
C.The vowel lengthens and the dental stop becomes a kappa
D.The stem vowel undergoes quantitative metathesis
Explanation: In Ancient Greek phonology, dental stops (τ, δ, θ) drop completely before a sigma (-σι), so νυκτ- + σι yields νυξί(ν).
8How is the nominative singular formed in third-declension liquid stem nouns like ῥήτωρ (genitive ῥήτορος)?
A.By lengthening the stem vowel (o to ω) without adding a nominative sigma suffix
B.By adding a nominative sigma and dropping the liquid consonant
C.By inserting an epenthetic alpha before the liquid stem
D.By reduplicating the initial consonant of the stem
Explanation: Liquid stem nouns in the third declension (ending in ρ or λ) form their nominative singular by lengthening the final stem vowel (e.g., ῥητορ- becomes ῥήτωρ) rather than adding a nominative -ς.
9In neuter third-declension sigmatic stems (such as γένος), why does the genitive singular appear as γένους in Attic Greek?
A.The intervocalic sigma drops (-εσ-ος -> -εος) and the remaining vowels contract (-εος -> -ους)
B.The stem sigma turns into a iota subscript
C.The genitive ending -ως causes metathesis of the stem vowel
D.The nominative sigma assimilates with the genitive case ending
Explanation: In third-declension neuter s-stems, the intervocalic sigma drops between vowels (γένεσ-ος -> γένεος), and ε + ο contracts regularly to the diphthong -ους in Attic.
10What is the accusative singular form of the third-declension diphthong noun βασιλεύς ('king') in Attic Greek?
A.βασιλέα
B.βασιλεῦν
C.βασιλεύς
D.βασιλέων
Explanation: Diphthong stem nouns in -ευς drop the digamma/upsilon before vocalic endings, taking the accusative ending -α with quantitative vowel length, yielding βασιλέα.
