Notes:

The stem of this verb is *ol. It belongs to a class of verbs that add nu to the root to form the present tense stem, but the nu assimilates to a lambda (cf. MBG, #13 and p. 309). *olnu - ollu - o[llumi. This is why there is a single lambda in the other tenses.

Because ajpovllumi is a compound verb the alpha does not augment, but the omicron does.

In the present tense this verb follows the athematic conjugation (chapter 34). In the other tenses it follows the thematic conjugation we have been learning so far. You can see this in how it forms its other tense forms.
