Are all of these contract verbs?:
ἀπορεω
ἐλευθεροω
νικαω
πολμαω
Sorry if these seems like a simple question - I can't tell from greek dictionaries whether they are contract or not. I'm just assuming they are because their stems (of their uncontracted forms) end in α/ε/ο
(I've left out accents because I do not know how to use them yet)
Thank you!

Re: Are these contract verbs?
Yes, these are contract verbs. Verbs ending in -άω, -έω and -όω in the form under which they're listed in dictionaries, namely, the first person singular present indicative active form, generally are contract verbs.
Small correction: τολμάω, not πολμάω.
