Modern Greek verbs

Clause-embedding verbs of Modern Greek, each with the coding of the complements it takes: an indicative declarative clause, which oti or pu introduces, a polar question with an, or a subjunctive clause with na (Complementizers.lean). The entries carry the attitude and stativity metadata that [Ang26]'s data turns on, and the volitional, intention and causative verbs are those of [Gra24]'s survey of mood choice, from [GM21].

[Ang26]'s own apparatus, the light-noun selection, the content and situation typing, the attested selection classes and the stativity generalizations, lives in Studies/Angelopoulos2026.lean as projections over these entries.
