Did I actually write that? Homer may nod, but Conrad goes into a deep
slumber when penning responses to B-Greek, it would appear.

Of course, what SHOULD be read in that clause in the second line cited
above is: "... that DUO and TREIS are identical in the nominative and
accusative ..."

And I do remember one of my students once trying to tell me about the
Vocative tense, too. I think in my present slumber I would have been like
to agree.
