Does anyone have a reference for how the "-que" suffix might be analyzed in a parse tree? I want to know because knowing the parse tree usually helps me internalize the grammar. I'm having trouble with "-que" because it seems illogical to place "-que", which is essentially a conjunction, one token into the second phrase.

My text books only give a basic description of "-que" and some similar usage examples. Interestingly, Wiktionary says that there ...

Matt. 8:29 καὶ ἰδοὺ ἔκραξαν λέγοντες· τί ἡμῖν καὶ σοί, υἱὲ τοῦ θεοῦ; ἦλθες ὧδε πρὸ καιροῦ βασανίσαι ἡμᾶς;

The question ἦλθες ὧδε πρὸ καιροῦ βασανίσαι ἡμᾶς; appears to assume a demonic eschatology. The notion that demonic agents will face a day of reckoning finds support in some 2nd Temple apocalyptic literature for example Apocalypse of Enoch 16:1

16.1.1
Καὶ ἀπὸ ἡμέρας καιροῦ σφαγῆς καὶ ἀπωλείας καὶ θανάτου τῶν γιγάντων ναφηλείμ,

In Orberg LLPSI he has Dido imploring Aeneas to stay in Karthage (Orberg's marginal notes are inserted in square brackets ):

'...Ego per has lacrimas, per dextram tuam, per conubium nostrum te oro: si quid bene de te merui , aut si tibi dulce fuit quidquam meum, miserere mei et muta istam mentem!

Three questions:


1) ...si quid bene de te merui ...

Hey,

I was intrigued to find a short lexicon by Rouse that was entirely in classical Greek. Does anyone know of a large work that is similar? It strikes me as being a sensible idea for advanced Greek studies.

Can anyone suggest what "εἰς λόγους" means in the following:

τη δε υστεραια, ως εν απορια ην βασιλευς (ου γαρ αμεινον επρασσον οι περσαι) ἦλθεν αὐτῷ εἰς λόγους ἀνήρ τις ος ηγεμενος γενομενος τοις περσαις ατραπον εδειξε δια του ορους εν Θερμοπυλας φετοθσαν

This is from Greek to GSCE part2 page 183. I have gone back to this several times but I still don't really get it. My best stab is "On the next ...

ἐκεῖνος γὰρ ἕκαστα τῶν προειρημένων συννοήσας ἀναγκαίως καὶ φυσικῶς ἐπιτελούμενα καὶ συλλογισάμενος ὅτι πᾶν εἶδος πολιτείας ἁπλοῦν καὶ κατὰ μίαν συνεστηκὸς δύναμιν ἐπισφαλὲς γίνεται διὰ τὸ ταχέως εἰς τὴν οἰκείαν καὶ φύσει παρεπομένην ἐκτρέπεσθαι κακίαν...

That statesman was fully aware that all those changes which I have enumerated come about by an undeviating law of nature; and reflected that every form of government that was unmixed, and rested on one species of power, was unstable; ...

Salvete!

In an older Nuntii Latini-article titled Morbus avarius in Turcia vagatur I encountered the following sentence:

Grippa aviaria, quam efficit virus, cui nomen H5N1 (ha, quinque, en, unum), in Turcia vagatur.

Now, I am wondering, how does one spell all the letters of the Roman alphabet, like "ha" for "h" and "en" for "n")? Does anyone have an idea?

On a related note, what about the NATO phonetic alphabet, i.e. using "kilo" for "k", ...

Somewhat obvious .... I think it's safe to say that the antecedent of αὐτόν in verse 10 is τὸ φῶς in verse 9 ...

10 ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ ἦν, καὶ ὁ κόσμος δι’ αὐτοῦ ἐγένετο, καὶ ὁ κόσμος αὐτὸν οὐκ ἔγνω.

Agreed?.. I've actually heard some people say "Jesus in verse 17." :shock:

What the heck is going on here!? Why don't we have cirumflexes when the final vowel is short!?
