What I wanted to say was: ἐκεῖνος ὁ κατεαγμένος λαὸς κατὰ στοῖχον ἤγετο κατὰ ἀνατολὰς περιπατοῦντες καὶ κλαίοντες.

I'm afraid I need to use two themes here. I can't think of a way to work them together.Stephen Hughes wrote:Four more words; διάφορος, κατάγνυμι, κείρω, πρόσκαιρος.

πρόσωμον is a typo for πρόσωπον, right?Stephen Hughes wrote:.

Re: "Gingrich Definitions"
I was confused by the term "Gingrich definitions", wondering if this might be "the Newt", erstwhile professor of American History who served briefly as Speaker of the House and now occasionally as a political pundit. More likely, I'd guess, the reference is to one of the older English versions of the Bauer German NT Greek Lexicon; (the most recent volume owes far more to the work of Danker):Thomas Dolhanty wrote:Another four words, with Gingrich definitions: ψηλαφάω, συμβιβάζω, φραγμός , ἀκρίς

Re: Greek Composition 4x4 Challenge
Sorry. I was using BibleWorks notation. The reference is to Shorter Lexicon of the Greek New Testament, F. Wilbur Gingrich, revised by Frederick W. Danker. It is described as "... a digest of the basic lexical information on New Testament words contained in Bauer/Arndt/Gingrich/Danker". I find it quite useful when I am simply looking for short treatments, and do not want to deal with the fuller and much more voluminous review found in something like BDAG.cwconrad wrote:I was confused by the term "Gingrich definitions" ....

Re: Greek Composition 4x4 Challenge
For what it's worth, Danker also has a "concise" lexicon of the NT. As far as I can tell, it is not an abridgement of BDAG but an independent look at many lexemes.Thomas Dolhanty wrote:The reference is to Shorter Lexicon of the Greek New Testament, F.
