Any idea why? Wallace has a nice discussion of comparatives, etc.
begining on 296 of his book. There are plenty of NT examples of
comparatives (c. 170), fewer superlatives (40-ish). Seems to me to be
a large grammatical catagory to skip.
Both Perschbacher and Wallace use the term "elative" which I was not
familier with until reading their sections. I have seen "strengthed
superlative," although that seems like a different thing to me.
