Rev 13.18 antecedent question
ωδε η σοφια εστιν ο εχων νουν ψηφισατω τον αριθμον του θηριου αριθμος γαρ ανθρωπου εστιν και ο αριθμος αυτου εξακοσιοι εξηκοντα εξ What is the antecedent to αυτου? Based on all translations, it is θηριου instead of ανθρωπου. What grammatical principle is at play that has this pronoun's antecedent by...

Re: 2 Cor 9:7 ἀγαπᾷ Gnomic or Progressive
Out of curiosity, is not Gnomic or Progressive (or other categories, Ingressive, Constative, etc.) issues related to translation rather than Grammar or Syntax?

Re: The Term Aktionsart
The label 'layers' is used to denote SEPARATE and DISTINCT strata of something. They remain layers and do not intermingle, otherwise they cease being layers. Would it make sense to recommend a term that allows for the resultant "mixing" of the "layers" to form a unit of thought. ...

Re: The Term Aktionsart
Can anyone critique my understanding of Lexical, Grammatical, and Contextual Aspects. Lexical Aspect deals with the inherent features of a given verbal root (the LU in LUW). Grammatical Aspect deals with the Tenses (the LU W of LU; the 7 choices of how to portray the verbal idea, such as Imperfect, ...

Re: The Term Aktionsart
Does the proposed definition of Aktionsart "actuality" mean What Actually Took Place (is taking place, will, etc.)? Since writers of the story can present the events from their perspective (lexical and grammatical combination), is "actuality" mean also The Actual Event independen...

Re: The Instantaneous Imperfect???
Mark 4:9 καὶ ἔλεγεν· ὃς ἔχει ὦτα ἀκούειν ἀκουέτω. And he said, “Let the one who has ears to hear [with] listen!” First, I see no reason for the [with] embedded into this statement. It makes perfect since in both Greek and English if left out. However, I would embed a word at the beginning. I would ...

Re: Mark 11:3 ἀποστέλλει
RandallButh » April 2nd, 2012, 9:21 answered this question from Brett: Isn't this simply a Present Tense to draw attention to the fact that the return of the colt is even now in progess.

Re: Future Perfect forms in LXX?
May I ask a rather naive question or two about this two-tense designation? How should I understand a Future Perfect ? (what is the difference in translating a Future Passive from a Future Perfect ) How hypothetically would I understand a Future Present (which to me seems equivalent to Future Perfect...
