Small question -- what does "in apodeses" mean?

Post by grdSavant »

I have the VocEd Attic Greek flash cards and they define ἀλλά (a conjuction) as but. But they also say that it means, "in apodeses", still, at least.
words are such a poor representation of reality. please listen to what I mean, not what I say.

Could this be a typo of apodoses?
I, Lex Llama, super genius, will one day rule this planet! And then you'll rue the day you messed with me, you damned dirty apes!

Ya, thanks Lex, it must be. Maybe a variant. Now I see that LSJ says ἀλλά in one form is: "2. in the apodosis[my emphasis] of hypothetical sentences, still, at least, “εἴπερ γάρ τε . . ἀλλά τε”."

Apodoses is the plural of apodosis.

Yes, of course. I was going to mention that but it seemed obvious.

The question however was about apodeses not apodoses.

So, do you have an alternative explanation?

No, I agree it must be a typo. I thought you were answering the question by saying it is the plural of apodosis. Now I see it was YOU who suggested it might be a typo. Sorry.
