Re: Biblical words are nolonger referential?
Sounds like time to shoot the guy an email and ask him what he means.

Re: Luke 12:32 τὸ μικρὸν ποίμνιον
Gotta love B-Greek. Thanks, everyone! Very clear and very helpful responses. I don’t think anyone’s actually said what the article is actually doing there (i.e., how is it definiteness semantically), only that it can. Yeah guilty as charged. I was aware when I posted that I didn't actually answer t...

Re: Luke 12:32 τὸ μικρὸν ποίμνιον
What work is τὸ doing in the phrase τὸ μικρὸν ποίμνιον? Μὴ φοβοῦ, τὸ μικρὸν ποίμνιον, ὅτι εὐδόκησεν ὁ πατὴρ ὑμῶν δοῦναι ὑμῖν τὴν βασιλείαν. How would you interpret it in light of the fact that Jesus is speaking directly to τὸ μικρὸν ποίμνιον? Apparently not unknown according to Robertson. (g) THE A...

Re: 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...

Clearly I'll have to refresh the high school German ... and someStephen Carlson wrote: ↑September 13th, 2021, 10:28 pm Mayser is/was the standard papyri grammar. It is so old (1898), you can find a copy on archive.org. It’s in German of course.

Re: Koine Greek Grammar
That's the dream, isn't it. It'd be nice if it existed. Glad I'm not the only one :) Older grammars do make consistent citation of a wide collection of texts beyond the New Testament, but they tend to have other issues and/or limits. Are you thinking Dana/Mantey and Moulton (I haven't looked enough...

Re: Koine Greek Grammar
I should add that it is one thing to cite a wide variety of text, it is another to actually base the grammar on the texts. There are grammars of the papyri that are essentially Kuehner-Gerth in structure illustrated with examples from the papyri. I definitely meant basing one on the texts. I'll loo...

Koine Greek Grammar
Hi ya, Does anyone know of a reference grammar for Koine ? I mean Koine rather than one of the many NT or Biblical Greek, Septuagint grammars, or even grammars of the papyri. I am thinking of something like Smyth or CGCG for Koine, a fairly comprehensive reference level work covering the diversity o...

Re: John 9:24 "..this man is a sinner"
Since adjectives can be readily substantivized with the article, we're getting to close to a distinction without a difference. (Obviously, not quite there since some but not all adjectives are gradable.) Hi Stephen Could you clarify a point for me here ? Do you mean that there would be less or more...
