I left a gap between the prefix ἀπ- and the verb-stem ὤλ- to show why we have an ὢ μέγα in the aorist indicative forms (temporal augment), but a normal ὂ μικρόν in all the other forms. The 2nd person singular ending should of course be -εσο but for some reason in endings an σ between 2 vowels often gets dropped, and since εο usually contracts to ου, 2nd person: "you perished" becomes ἀπώλου just like 2nd person: "you became" is ἐγένου
2nd person singular should of course be γενέσο and ἀπολέσο! But, as before, after the thematic vowel ε the -σ- of the personal ending vowel σο disappears, leaving έο which, as usual, contracts to οῦ
