Make sure you read Croy section 91 carefully.
In Lesson 13, you learned the verbs that take a first aorist, or sigmatic aorist. Those verbs formed the aorist stem by adding a sigma to the present stem. In this lesson, you will learn about the many verbs which do not have a sigmatic aorist. Instead, they have a non-sigmatic aorist form, also referred to as the second aorist. These verbs form their aorist stem by making alterations inside the present stem (much like the English verbs "come" and "came" which show an alteration in the stem of the verb between the present and past tense).
There are also examples of suppletion, as you saw with the first aorist verbs. Suppletion means that a present stem is paired with an aorist stem that originally came from a completely different verb.
Here is a list of the verbs which you have learned so far which take a second aorist form. You will have to memorize these forms. The verbs marked in purple are examples of suppletion.
