Jonathan,

I read this whole thread with interest, forgetting all the while that I had
picked up a copy of Souter at Princeton's annual festival of second-hand
books (the considerable proceeds go to overseas missions/libraries). I like
it very much, with the sole exception that it would be more convenient were
Souter to have included some indication of the gender of the nouns he
defines.

Now, we can point out the inestimable value of knowing the gender of every
noun off the top of our heads--but since one uses a pocket lexicon to make
up what is lackingin our memories of Greek, the absence of clues to gender
is sometimes frustrating.

Hope it's not too late for this caveat (is that Latin or English, Jim w.?)
to be useful to you--

Grace and peace,
AKMA

That which we haven't yet bothered to imagine is not therefore impossible.
