The vocative is the same as the nominative:

a. In stems ending in a stop ( ^cross16) consonant (except those in ιτ, ιδ, ι_θ; ντ in nouns): ὦ φύλαξ watchman. (Αἴα_ς Ajax (Αἰαντ-) is nom. and voc.)

-- 58 --

b. In oxytone stems ending in a liquid and not taking ς to form their nominative ( ^cross242): ὦ ποιμήν shepherd (ποιμεν-); but ἀνήρ man, πατήρ father have ἄνερ, πάτερ ( ^cross262). Barytones use the stem as the vocative: δαῖμον, ῥτορ from δαίμων divinity, ῥήτωρ orator.

c. In all participles.
