FIRST FUTURE PASSIVE

[*] 589. The stem of the first future passive is formed by adding -σόε- to the stem of the first aorist passive. It ends in -θησομαι. Thus, παιδευθή-σομαι I shall be educated, λυθή-σομαι I shall be loosed.

τι_μάω, ἐτι_μήθην τι_μηθήσομαι; ἐάω, εἰά_θην ἐα_θήσομαι; λείπω, ἐλείφθην λειφθήσομαι; πείθω, ἐπείσθην πεισθήσομαι; τείνω, ἐτάθην ταθήσομαι; τάττω, ἐτάχθην ταχθήσομαι; τίθημι, ἐτέθην τεθήσομαι; δίδωμι, ἐδόθην δοθήσομαι; δείκνυ_μι, ἐδείχθην δειχθήσομαι.

[*] 589 D. Hom. has no example of the first future passive. To express the idea of the passive future the future middle is used. See 802. Doric shows the active endings in both futures passive: δειχθησοῦντι, ἀναγραφησεῖ.
