a. All participles in -ων are inflected like λύ_ων, those in -ών having the accent of ὤν, ὄντος, etc.; as λιπών, λιποῦσα, λιπόν having left. Such participles are from ω-verbs, in which ο is a part of the tense suffix.

b. Like participles are declined the adjectives ἑκών, ἑκοῦσα, ἑκόν willing, ἄ_κων, ἄ_κουσα, ἆ_κον unwilling (for ἀέκων, etc.), G. ἄ_κοντος, ἀ_κούσης, ἄ_κοντος.
