Re: Isaiah 52:13-14, question on the subject
"13 ιδου συνησει ο παις μου και υψωμησεται και δοξασθησεται σφοδρα. 14 ον τροπον εκστησονται επι σε πολλοι (ουτως αδοξησει απο ανθρωπων το εἶδος σου και η δοξα σου απο των ανθρωπων" (Text from Decker's Reader). In vs 14, I'm having a hard time telling what the subject of αδοξησει is. At f...

Re: Isaiah 52:13-14, question on the subject
οὕτως introduces a correlative clause of manner, where the subject is τὸ εἶδός σου, καὶ ἡ δόξα σου. It's not unusual in Greek for a compound subject to take a verb in the singular. Decker has ἡ δόξα σου as a separate clause where he says "To make good sense in English, a verb must be supplied ...

Re: Question on Lexical Aspect
First question, can all verbs be classified as either telic or atelic? In some of the other threads, some of you mention other categories, does that mean a verb can be neither telic nor atelic, but something else? All vers can be classified as telic or atelic, yes. Other categories that you might s...

Question on Lexical Aspect
I'm having a bit of a hard time fully grasping the idea of lexical aspect in Rijksbaron. He seems to give two categories of verbs: 1. stative (unbounded, durative, atelic); "the state of affairs does not have an inherent endpoint", and 2. telic (terminative, bounded); the state of affairs ...

Mathewson, Intermediate Greek Grammar
What do you guys think of Mathewson's Intermediate Greek Grammar (2016)? I read the first chapter on cases in the Amazon preview and learned more than I have in the first 6 chapters of Black so far. In his description of the genitive case as "restrictive" there were several "aha!"...

From BDAG:
Seems to be idiomatic for wedding guests. BDAG sites several extra-biblical sources for that useage.

Re: Copulative verbs
The difference here is that the copula does not take a direct object. It takes a subject complement (in the nominative). Ok, thanks, I think I'm starting to get it. Your sentence Μιχαηλ μελλει γενεσθαι πατερ is correct except that πατερ is actually vocative So we fix it: Μιχαηλ μέλλει γενέσθαι πατή...

Re: Copulative verbs
A copulative verb links a subject to a predicate. In the sentence "Michael is a pastor", the copulative verb "is" links the subject Michael to the predicate "a pastor". In the sentence "Micheal became a father", the copulative verb "became" links th...

Copulative verbs
I just read something in Black's SGM that confused me a little. He says that copulative verbs "take the same case after them as before them." And he sites ειμι, γινομαι, and υπαρχω as the most common copulative verbs. I knew that was true with ειμι, with predicate nominatives and accusativ...
