Re: Luke 5:7 - ἐλθόντας as the acc. subject of an infinitive
It’s not so much that ἐλθόντας is the subject of the infinitive but that it is a circumstantial participle agreeing with the implied subject of the infinitive.

Re: Article usage in heaven and on earth (Matt 6:10, 28:18)
Would be nice to have a huge annotated corpus for Ancient (classical and/or post-classical) Greek. So much can be studied.

Re: Why is βοῶντος in the genitive in John 1:23?
How many indefinite substantivized participles are there in the NT? It feels pretty infrequent (triggering the OP's question).

Re: Feedback on criteria for posting books here
Many of these books haven't been published yet, and I always forget about them. We need some follow up when they're out.

Re: Anagnostopoulou - The Place of Case in Grammar
A word of caution is that this book operates within the generative linguistic tradition (think Chomsky), which a lot of people find unhelpful for anything exegetical.

Re: Article usage in heaven and on earth (Matt 6:10, 28:18)
I'm not going to pretend that I know or understand the motivations for one use over the other, Stephen. What I can say is that I think issues like this represent good example of how grammatical choices function as a continuum along the likes of what Carl Bache (1995, 127) describes, such that we ca...

Article usage in heaven and on earth (Matt 6:10, 28:18)
Article usage in Greek is weird, esp. with objects of prepositions and monadic nouns. Here's a minimal pair: Matt 6:10 γενηθήτω τὸ θέλημά σου, ὡς ἐν οὐρανῷ καὶ ἐπὶ ⸆ γῆς· Matt 28:18 ἐδόθη μοι πᾶσα ἐξουσία ἐν οὐρανῷ καὶ ἐπὶ °τῆς γῆς· As the sigla show, even the scribes weren't sure.

Re: Aorist stem formation
"Pseudo-sigmatic" is a new term and not particularly transparent as there is no sigma left in the form. "Liquid" aorist is the usual term, and as bad as "liquid" is, I see no reason to invent a term even more opaque.

Re: Punctuation in the Lord's Prayer (Matthew 6:9-13)
Wiktionary tells me that the άνω τελεία is used thus: 1. Separates groups of clauses in a sentence. 2. Separates two parts of a sentence where a κόμμα is thought to be inadequate. But Πάτερ ἡμῶν ὁ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς is not a clause, and the whitespace separates these three very parallel lines (which ...
