Re: ὑπερβυτεροι

I'm guessing there's quite a few instances of οι περ/υπερ/οιπερ still to be identified. :)


Yes, I think so. And yes, it’s fun searching in the ms-pictures, but an awful lot of work. And I will not be volunteering!

Re: σουδάριον in John 20.7

Since εις means „one, single, unity“ and not „separate“ (at least that‘s what my dictionaries tell me), I wouldn‘t interpret it here as „separate“, which i suppose would point to a greek construction with something like εκαστος or ιδιος.

Re: Luke 5:7 - ἐλθόντας as the acc. subject of an infinitive

I would read : του συλλαβεσθαι : Articular Infinitive, final ελθοντας : Acc.subj. of the Articular Infinitive; referring to μετοχοις, and after they had come to help …. I didn‘t find immediately other participles as acc.subj. of an AcI, but Kühner-Gert gave Thucydides 4:84 ακουσαντας βουλευσασθαι, t...

Re: ἁρπαγμός - a verbl noun?

In general it seems to be: verbal root + μος = activity of the verb (αρδεω > αρδμος), but - language not like mathematics - sometimes these nouns mean the result of an activity or some concrete object: ερυω > ρυμος, πλεκω > πλοκαμος, πλοχμος

Re: Φως morphology question

Could the reason be that φως in fact is φαος, belogning to a group of Neutra on -ος: δε(ι)ος, κλε(ι)ος, χρε(ι)ος, σπε(ι)ος, that doesn’t need the -τ- in the Declension?

Re: English irregular verbs and Greek stem changes

You are right: In German and Dutch we have strong verbs (vowel-change in stems in different tenses) and weak verbs (using tense-suffixes) and even some verbs with a mix of weak and strong tenses.

Languages are not mathematical constructs, so “irregularities” are the spices of the linguistic-fun!
