 * Mounce classifies this as a v-1d(1a) verb, verbs which do not change from the root in forming the present tense but with stems ending in α and which may therefore do some contraction with a tense formative.
 * This is a very large group and includes words like ἀγαπάω.
 * Occurs frequently, often in the imperative: see!
 * According to Mounce in MBG ὁράω was being replaced by other words: βλέπω, θεωρέω, and ὀπτάνομαι.
 * The aorist form is rare and occurs only once in the subjunctive in Luke 13:28.
 * According to Mounce in MBG also, the aorist form was being replaced by εἶδον (eidon) which has a separate GK number 1625. Other lexicons might list it as the aorist of ὁράω.
 * εἶδον is formed from a different root and occurs a lot.
 * The imperfect tense is formed from the present stem so ἐώρων.
