Re: Is there an historical sigma involved in ἱημι ?

Wiktionary is your friend for these etymological inquiries: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E1%BC%B ... E%BC%CE%B9

Basically, there's no historical sigma, but an historical yod, which also evanesces in similar ways.

Re: Complete Concordance to the Greek Bible

Would be nice to see a sample page, but this is precisely the kind of reference that computers have obsoleted.

Re: John 1.8 - distinguishing subjects and complements, and borrowing verbs from earlier sentences.

Why then we, modern readers, are perplexed about ellipsis and why exegetes always seem to try to find the word "in the writers mind"? The same bad habit of mind permeates the generative linguistics literature on ellipsis. They think that ellipsis is building some syntactic structure and t...

Re: Attribution and Epexegesis

Wallace does make the distinction for the genitive. One is called "Genitive in Simple Apposition" (p. 94) and the other is called "Genitive of Apposition (Epexegetical Genitive, Genitive of Definition)" (pp. 95-98), with a discussion of distinguishing them (pp. 98-100). I'll gran...

Re: Poking the hive.... a question about using an interlinear

An analytic dictionary is good for this as well, and the online equivalent is Perseus's Morpheus: http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/morph?lang=greek

Re: 1 John 3.17 and 4.3

Hi again, I've run into another couple of verses that I'm confused by. First is 3.17: ὃς δ’ ἂν ἔχῃ τὸν βίον τοῦ κόσμου καὶ θεωρῇ τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ χρείαν ἔχοντα καὶ κλείσῃ τὰ σπλάγχνα αὐτοῦ ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ, πῶς ἡ ἀγάπη τοῦ Θεοῦ μένει ἐν αὐτῷ; I can't figure out what the subject of ἐχω is. It seems from t...
