Re: Cerego - Memory Management Software
Hey Louis, I'm Managing Editor for the Greek over at languages.biblemesh.com, so I can provide some information. Sorry about the delayed response, I didn't see this thread. I should probably start a separate thread on what we're doing at some point, but here's some info in bullet point format. Bible...

Re: Tense-Aspect (esp. Future) in Non-Indicative Moods
Ok, to summarize some of these very helpful clarifications so far: In the non-indicative tenses, we see the following trends (1) The Imperfective Aspect binary (Present/Imperfect) in the indicative mood can be distinguished only by past/non-past time/remoteness (past marked by the ε-). Aspect is sha...

Re: Tense-Aspect (esp. Future) in Non-Indicative Moods
Thank you, Steve. Lots to mull on here. I appreciate you taking the time. That last caveat was helpful. Is it then proper to talk about the standard temporal force of the Greek verbal system operating in a past/non-past binary, with the exception of the +future forms? Perhaps this could explain why ...

Thank you for the link to Sihler's discussion on the future. Alan wrote: Would you mind elaborating on or clarifying this. What seemed immediately foreign to my thinking was your comment there is no grammaticalized time to distinguish each pair. Would you agree with the following 2 sentence? Perfect...

Tense-Aspect (esp. Future) in Non-Indicative Moods
I'd be interested in the B-Greek opinions on tense/aspect categories of the non indicative moods and specifically how this works out in the Future. Unfortunately "future" "non indicative" and "tense" are too common of terms for a successful forum search, so to break the...

Re: Buth and diacritic marks/accents
χαιρεν Randall,
Nice hint on Swanson's GNT,. I'd never thought of using it to display spelling features, but now that you display it that's a terrific showing of orthographic variation within the manuscripts. Very helpful indeed.

Re: ὑπό with secondary agency? (James 1:14)
To take an errant example of ὑπό with an instrumental usage that assumes an alternate primary agency, consider the following Rev. 6:8 - καὶ ὁ ᾅδης ἠκολούθει μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐδόθη αὐτοῖς ἐξουσία ἐπὶ τὸ τέταρτον τῆς γῆς ἀποκτεῖναι ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ καὶ ἐν λιμῷ καὶ ὑπὸ τῶν θηρίων τῆς γῆς. Here, we have a prett...

Re: ὑπό with secondary agency? (James 1:14)
Hi Stephen, Well, good question. There's a lot of abstraction going on in the verse, and it's not clear whether the ἐπιθυμία is doing the πειράζειν, or just the ἐξελκόμενος καὶ δελεαζόμενος. That being said, it's pretty clear the sentences is juxtaposed against the previous verse: Μηδεὶς πειραζόμενο...

Re: ὑπό with secondary agency? (James 1:14)
If James would have wanted to explicitly say that lust is only "intermediate agent" he could have said so by using δια. ὑπό doesn't mean intermediate agency, it means agency, but it allows "real world" intermediate agency if context says so. As does the English equivalent . . . ...
