I've been following this thread with interest, but I haven't seen a reply yet
to one of the original questions, namely location of a list of such verbs in
Smyth's _Greek Grammar_. (I may well have skipped over it if it was posted.)
The list is in par. 687, p. 197. He describes the verbs as "W-verbs" with
"second aorists of the MI form." Also, par. 688 is a list of verbs which are
"3rd aorist" in poetry (esp. in Homer).
