Liquid verbs in Biblical Greek are just like regular verbs except they have a different tense formative. They can be easily recognized because the last letter of the verbal stem ends in the Greek letters "lambda", "rho", "mu", and "nu". For future tense the tense formative of liquid verbs is "epsilon-sigma" while in aorist it is an "alpha".
Liquid verbs that occur 50 times or more in the Greek New Testament are: airo, apothnasko, apokrinomai, apokteino, apostello, ballo, egeiro, eimi, ekballo, krino, lego, mello, meno, pino, fero, and xairo respectively.
