Ἐκγεγάμεν

Homer [writes]: "he boasts to have been born from [e)kgega/men]." Instead of gegenh=sqai.¹ From the [verb]² gw= ["I am born], gh/sw ["I will be born"], ge/ghmi ["I have been born"]; in the infinitive mode gega/nai ["to have been born"] and in Doric dialect gega/men;³ like tiqe/nai ["to have put in place"], [Doric] tiqe/men.
