Re: Can a Case Change, Change Syllabification?

I imagine it's just that... he's actually talking about the accentuation of the word. Yes, it changes. ἔσχατος, ἐσχάτη, ἔσχατον The long vowel on the end of the word (eta η ) doesn't allow an accent any further back than on the second-to-last syllable. So, É-scha-tos has the accent shifted to e-SCH...

Re: Determining Genitive Masculine and Neuter, and Dative Plural Gender

Did you get the point that a noun is always the same gender no matter what case it takes? I did not get that. Thanks for pointing that out. Bill mounce states that you can use the article to help determine the gender of a noun since they are unique unlike the case endings. My confusion is that some...

Re: Determining Genitive Masculine and Neuter, and Dative Plural Gender

Maybe he meant masculine accusative and neuter nominative/accusative. ?? Sorry, I mean genitive singular, masculine (οῦ) and neutor (οῦ). The articles for them are the same as well τοῦ. The articles on the example you gave are different even though the case ending is the same. With the genitive sin...

Determining Genitive Masculine and Neuter, and Dative Plural Gender

How do you tell if a noun is genitive masculine or nominative neuter? They both have the same article before the noun and the same case ending on the noun. EDIT: Also, along this line, how do you tell what gender a dative plural is since all three have the same case ending (ων) and article (τῶν). Al...

Help Figuring Out What Definition and Gender to Use

Hello, I am trying to teach myself Koine Greek using Mounces Basics of Biblical Greek 4th ed. kit (book, lectures, flash cards, workbook, lexicon). I am having problems with the first set of translating workbook exercises and the answers are not provided so I am unable to determine if I am correct o...

Can a Case Change, Change Syllabification?

I am going through bill mounces pronunciations of the words from Chapter 4 of basics of biblical greek. One of the flash cards has "ἔσχατος, -η, -ον" When he pronounces the three forms of this word (going left to right), when he gets to the second form (the one that uses the η), it sounds ...
