David, what do you mean by head noun is not in a prepositional clause?

Re: δε and ἀλλα

I would choose "οι δε μαθηται" for your example, but I could be wrong.. David, According to Eli's explanation, ἀλλὰ is one that “introduces a correction of the expectation created by the first conjunct; an incorrect expectation is cancelled and a proper expectation is put in its place. In...

In your sentence (is that from Machen?) I would use ἀλλά.

Re: δε and ἀλλα

He describes ἀλλὰ as a “global marker of contrast”, one that “introduces a correction of the expectation created by the first conjunct; an incorrect expectation is cancelled and a proper expectation is put in its place.”" If a writer uses ἀλλα he's pointing at the contrast. δε is more delicate...
