<br /><br />Not Seymore, no.<br /><br /><br />Of particular interest to me, however, are some rules that you dropped along the way in passing. I'd really like to know where you got the information for these. Is this stuff in Seymour?<br />
<br /><br />This knowledge has been hinted it in various grammars for a while. People noticed that the agumentless forms were most common in narrative, quite infrequent in speech. My firm assertions in the article are due to a recent reading of "A New Comparative Grammar of Greek and Latin" by Sihler. Good book. Will make all peculiarities of the Greek perfect clear.<br />(1) (Note: the augmentless aorists and imperfects actually reflect a grammatical category from early stages of the Greek language,...<br />
<br /><br />Smyth. He has good dialect notes. Just check out the discussion of contract verbs. Ionic (and hence, Homer) is happy to not contract -ew verbs, but -ow and -aw contract more readily.<br /><br /><br />(2) Notice how I decided not to contract *av8ew*, giving me an extra syllable. Not contracting *-ew*verbs is sanctioned by Epic practice (but if it were an *-ow* verb it'd have to contract).<br />
<br /><br />Nope. Here's what the last haiku looks like in my strange encoding scheme:<br /><br /><br />On a side note: Is the Greek that I read on that page what Beta code looks like??? If that's it, I'm with you.<br />

<br /><br />What browser are you using? My site has to be one of the least complex in the world, I cannot imagine how it is making any browser crash. It's just text and images, almost no formatting, and certainly no javascript goo. Can you see other Aoidoi.org pages, or is it just the Haiku page?<br /><br />--<br />wm<br />William: I'm afraid I can't get into your site! The page loads and then it crashes my browser... that happened 5 times in a row... ???<br />
<br /><br />I use Opera, version 7, and can't get into any of the Aoidoi.org pages. I don't get why it crashes either...<br /><br />As for Arabic music, all you need are 2 concepts: Habibi/Habibty and 3ayn/3ayounik/noor el-3ayn. ;D Slight exaggeration - but much of the popular stuff is made primarily for Arabic dance, which is what I like Arabic music for...What browser are you using?
