Re: Stephen Carlson

So how did you say "push" "don't push"? And did she understand? ὦσον ... μὴ ὤθει By that time we were several hours into the delivery, she was past understanding anything except that she was hurting, and my grammar was out the window. I should probably have used something like &...

Re: Online Course by Steven Runge of Logos

No comment, except that I found this somewhat amusing, considering our frequent emphasis here: If you’ve had a year of Greek and you’re comfortable working in an interlinear text, then you won’t want to miss it. Yikes! It's the way one of his doktoral readers works. Discourse grammar discusses the ...

Re: Mark 11:3 ἀποστέλλει

Isn't this simply a Present Tense to draw attention to the fact that the return of the colt is even now in progess.
No, unless you invoke a strange sense ''in process'.
The colt hadn't been taken yet when the command and statements were given.

Re: Mark 11:3 ἀποστέλλει

Re: Why fonts matter ...

Psalm 23:4. Nice choice of a text. Why translation? I hope the font/machine mixup wasn't permanent. You would think that they could have printed a test page first. And yes, Jonathan, that is a very graphic reason why students and machines should only use Unicode. They might as well learn the Greek n...

Rod, thank you. The list was helpful.

Re: Sequence of complexity

Paul, That is an excellent post and moves in the right direction. I'm thinking M/P voice can wait. Actually, these middles [like πορεύομαι AND ἐπορεύθην ] are needed at the very beginning. You already mentioned ἀσπάζεσθαι. Maybe you could leave off the active? [Just kidding.] And Krashen's 'monitor'...

Re: Beginning Greek Video Lectures on the Web

Me too, but who's going to pay for it? The work and investment is massive and far beyond what many may imagine who just paraphrase English-talk about a language.
