Pharr Lesson VIII (Section 38.9) - Typo in Greek sentence?

[jabloom99]

So. I'm wondering if there is a problem with the gender of the last pronoun in sentence 9 of section 38 of Pharr's Homeric Greek.

The sentence is:

ἡ θεά της δεινης θαλάσσης ἔχει τὸ σκηπτρον χρύσεον.

(roughly transliterated: 'h Thea ths deinhs thalasshs exei to skhptron xruseon')

My question is about the pronoun τὸ (to) - shouldn't it be 'τὸν' (tov) in reference to/agreement with σκηπτρον χρύσεον (skhptron xruseon)? σκηπτρον χρύσεον (skhptron xruseon) seem to be accusative masculine singular second declension, while τὸ (to) looks like accusative neuter singular second declension.

Am I missing something?

Thanks very much for you help!

σκηπτρον is neuter. (the endings of masc & neuter 2nd declension nouns are identical in the accusative)

Thanks very much - that, I should have figured out!
