    In linguistics, the augment is a syllable added to the beginning of the word in certain Indo-European languages, most notably Greek, Armenian, and the Indo-Iranian languages such as Sanskrit, to form the past tenses.

    Indo-European languages

    Historical linguists are uncertain whether the augment is a feature that was added to these branches of Indo-European, or whether the augment was present in the parent language and lost by all other branches (see also Proto-Greek).

    Greek

    Ancient Greek

    In Ancient Greek, the verb λέγω légo “I say” has the aorist ἔλεξα élexa “I said”. The initial ε e is the augment. When this comes before a consonant, it is called the "syllabic augment", because it adds a syllable. Sometimes the syllabic augment appears before a vowel, because the initial consonant of the verbal root (usually digamma) was lost:

  • *έ-ϝιδον → (loss of digamma) *ἔιδον → (synaeresis) εἶδον
  • When the augment is added before a vowel, the augment and the vowel are contracted, and the vowel becomes long: akoúō "I hear", ḗkousa "I heard". This is sometimes called the "temporal augment", because it increases the time needed to pronounce the vowel.

    The Augments

    "The Augments" is the sixth episode of the fourth season of the American science fiction television series Star Trek: Enterprise, the eighty-second episode overall. It is the last of a three-story episode arc, preceded by "Borderland", and "Cold Station 12". "The Augments" was directed by LeVar Burton, from a script by Michael Sussman. The series follows the adventures of the first Starfleet starship Enterprise, registration NX-01. In this episode, "Augments", genetically enhanced humans, and Doctor Arik Soong, their surrogate father, escape Cold Station 12 after stealing frozen Augment embryos from storage. Soong plans to hide out with the Augments and raise the embryos, but Malik, their leader, is tired of hiding and attempts to instigate a war between Starfleet and the Klingons.

    The production of the episode reunites fellow Star Trek: The Next Generation alumni Burton as the director and Brent Spiner as Arik Soong. On The Next Generation, Burton previously played Geordi La Forge, while Spiner played Data. Most of the guest cast from the previous two Enterprise episodes in the story arc returned for "The Augments"; Mark Rolston makes an appearance as Klingon Captain Magh. The sets were also reused, but a new one was built for the Klingon escape pod used by Soong. UPN first aired "The Augments" on November 12, 2004, where it was watched by 2.1 percent of the U.S. population. It received mixed reviews by critics, who spoke negatively of Malik's character, but praised the performance of Spiner as Soong and the relationship between T'Pol and Tucker.

    Augment

    by: Erra

    In the reflection of the water's stream, I watch the current carry me.
    Irresolute and indiscriminate, this liquid flux is transcendent.
    A birth to conquered memories of sentimental quintessence.
    Learning to let go of oneself converts grievance into lessons.
    Your innermost thoughts appear physically. Cataclysm is bound to everything.
    The event horizon; there is no escaping, inescapable.
    Light speeds, black holes, time lapse; we're unstable.
    To contemplate the unthinkable, break free from captivity.
    Envelope the atmosphere with magnetized waves of processed nerve activity.
    Bring me back to the river's edge to bathe in consequence.
    Future events colliding, spoken of in present tense.
    The event horizon; there is no escaping, inescapable.
    Light speeds, black holes, time lapse; we're unstable.
    Misplaced ideals provoke tension. There is no escaping it. Dementia in this dimension.
    Our neurologic fortitude has been broken through.
    All of the pieces once whole have shattered in contact with you. Dementia.
    In the reflection of the water's stream, I watch the current carry me away. Irresolute and indiscriminate, this liquid flux is transcendent.
    Carry me away.
