Since some verbal forms may have an ephelcystic nu (imperfect.3S : ἐπαίδευε/ἐπαίδευεν), I would like to know if [un/]contract forms too may have this ending, as if we had ἐτίμαεν instead of ἐτίμαε and ἐτίμᾱν instead of ἐτίμᾱ.
ἐτίμαεν seems (?) ok to me but I can't remember having read contract forms like "ἐτίμᾱν" but, if so, I would like to understand why they [doesn't] exist. Is the ephelcystic nu linked to the sounds -ε or -ι ?
