Re: The two-fold and structured moieties of Koine Greek.

Well done to both Robie and Hughes. You had a little conflict and didn't shy from giving your opinion. Stephen, your comments on culture are interesting and jibe with what I've seen from visits back to the USA. It's a newish phenomenon, I think. From my sensibilities, Jonathan's moderation wasn't ne...

Re: What does "marked" mean in a verbal context?

I’m disappointed to hear that the term “markedness” has been used incorrectly and misleadingly by NT scholars. Well, even if it is a wrong term, I learned from what was lumped under that wrong term in reading Discourse Grammar. “To summarize, markedness theory presupposes that one member of a set is...

Re: Where Are Your Keys' Universal Speed Curriculum

Sign language, custom created gestures, and imprompt gestures are hugely helpful in getting meaning into your head without resort to a second language. That said, I think it should be used when helpful and sparingly. A WAYK guru watched some of my lessons and approved of my sparing use of sign langu...

I have a copy that is a derivative called Let's Study Greek, but I'd have to search through some old emails to see if I have permission to share it.

Re: Reader's Editions of the Greek New Testament

I like the NET NA27, reviewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0OYp-84zLc It's a diglot, English on one page, Greek on the other. The translation notes are an added bonus. Using a diglot works better for me than a reader. I can keep my brain in Greek mode even if I need to glance at the Englis...

Re: Mark 9:20 - Who's doing what

After ιδων αυτον describing the boy seeing Jesus, add a comma or dash I read this story a million times (I memorized it once) but I had always taken that phrase in this way: καὶ ἰδὼν αὐτὸν τὸ πνεῦμα -- εὐθὺς συνεσπάραξεν αὐτόν. [After the spirit saw him, he shook him violently] I was about to disag...

Re: ει μη and εαν μη

substantive difference between "ει μη" and "εαν μη ? Thanks for the question. Funk §855 helped confirm my opinion on the question. There's no difference between εἰ and ἐάν, except that ἄν alerts me that a Subjunctive is coming up. The real difference is not in εἰ μη or ἐὰν μη but in ...
