I'm assuming that the information which you gave above could be discovered in BDAG, if one were erudite enough. Can it be found in BDAG? Under hISTHMI, I see letters A. B. C. and D. According to the notations, A. is transitive while B., C., and D., are intransive. The line introducing A says: "A. trans. (pres., impf., fut., 1 aor. act; . . ." The line intr. B says: "B. intr., aor. and fut. forms" Is this the information I should look for? From these notations could I conclude that the verb hISTHMI is found in the future in both a transitive and intransitive sense? How does the "aor." under line B relate to "1 aor. act." in line A? These questions all relate to navigation of the waters that we call BDAG. I'm still learning about the wealth of info. contained in its pages.
