Grammatical Analysis

"λέκτο"

Note: The form «λέκτο» (with omicron) is not a standard Attic/Koine inflected form by itself. Several analyses are possible depending on dialect/orthography/context.

Possible analyses: [{'part_of_speech': 'verb', 'verb_type': 'standard (-ω) verb (not -μι)', 'lemma_candidate': 'λέγω (via aorist passive ἐλέχθην etc.)', 'morphology': {'tense': 'aorist (2nd aorist)', 'voice': 'middle (deponent/medio-passive in form)', 'mood': 'imperative', 'person': '2nd', 'number': 'singular', 'dialect_note': 'Would normally be written «λέκτο» only in contexts/dialects where -ου is represented with -ο (i.e., expected Attic/Koine form is «λέκτου»).'}}, {'part_of_speech': 'adjective (verbal adjective)', 'lemma_candidate': 'λεκτός, -ή, -όν', 'morphology': {'case': 'nominative/vocative/accusative', 'number': 'singular', 'gender': 'neuter', 'degree': 'positive', 'form_note': 'Expected neuter singular is «λεκτόν»; the given form lacks final -ν, which can be lost in some orthographic traditions or by elision/apocope in certain contexts.'}}, {'part_of_speech': 'noun/adjective (substantivized)', 'lemma_candidate': 'λεκτός (used as a substantive)', 'morphology': {'case': 'vocative', 'number': 'singular', 'gender': 'masculine', 'declension': '2nd declension', 'form_note': 'Vocative masculine singular of «λεκτός» is «λεκτέ» in Attic/Koine; «λέκτο» could reflect non-Attic vocalism/orthography or manuscript variation.'}}]
