Lesson
Contract verbs are those verbs whose stem forms end in εω or αω or οω. When forming their various endings in conjugating, the ending undergoes changes.

εω + ο becomes ou
εω + αι / οι / η / ω / ου become αι / οι / η / ω respectively

- καλω - I call
- καλεις - You call
- καλει - He / she / it calls
- καλουμεν - We call
- καλειτε - You (plural) call
- καλουσιν - They call
αω
αω + ε / η become α
αω + ο / ου / ω become ω
αω + ι / αι / ει / οι become αι
Example
Using the verb πλαναω, looking at the Present Active Indicative forms
- πλανω - I deceive
- πλανας - You deceive
- πλανα - He / she / it deceives
- πλανωμεν - We deceive
- πλανατε - You (plural) deceive
- πλανωσιν - They deceive
οω
οω + α / ε / ου become ου
οω + ι / αι / οι / ει become οι
οω + η / ω become ω
Example
Using σταυροω, looking at the Present Active Indicative forms
- σταυρω - I crucify
- σταυροις - You crucify
- σταυροι - He / she / it crucifies
- σταυουμεν - We crucify

Further rules
Lengthening for Aorist and Future Forms
Prior to adding the σ or θ in the Aorist or Future forms of an εω verb a lengthening occurs where εω is changed to η
Prior to adding the σ or θ in the Aorist or Future forms of an αω verb a lengthening occurs where αω is changed to η
Prior to adding the σ or θ in the Aorist or Future forms of an οω verb a lengthening occurs where οω is changed to ω
