What determines the case form of a substantive after a comparative hWSEI
or hWS?
Examples:
Ex. 15:8 hWSEI LIQOS
Ex 15:7 hWS KALAMHN
Ex. 15:8 hWSEI TEICOS
Ex. 15:10 hWSEI MOLIBOS
It seems like hWSEI LIQOS (Ex. 15:8) functions both as an adverb
describing the kind action and also as a adjective describing the
subject of the verb KATEDUSAN. The CASE of LIQOS agrees with the subject
of KATEDUSAN. In 15:7 the CASE of KALAMHN agrees with the object of the
verb.
My question is a simple one. Even though these hWSEI + substantive
constructions function as adverbs does the fact that they agree in case
with a substantive indicate that they also function as adjectives?
