Ancient Greek for Everyone• This Power Point compiles core verbs and nouns from two

vocabulary lists: – The Classical Vocabulary derives from the Dickinson College

Commentaries vocabulary list (http://dcc.dickinson.edu/greek-core-list ). – The New Testament Vocabulary collects together all the words which

appear 30+ times in the NT. • The Core Vocabulary here are those nouns and verbs which are

on both lists, all drawn from AGE Units 2-9. • The verbs and nouns are grouped by stem type, to make their

patterns clearer and facilitate memorization.
