Since a number of people on this list have found them useful, I thought 
that I should note that I have just posted new, updated copies of my 
vocabulary lists. The changes are minor. No words have been added. I 
corrected one (English) spelling mistake; fixed a breathing mark; and 
corrected the entries for POTE/ and PO/TE (which were reversed).

Descriptions and links are as follows (if anyone has linked to them, I 
think the file name of the second one is slightly different that previously):

Intermediate Greek Vocabulary
<http://faculty.bbc.edu/rdecker/documents/gk3vocab.pdf>
(130k .pdf file) This document contains all NT Greek words that occur 27 
times or more in the NT, sorted by frequency. It is the vocabulary 
assignment schedule that I use in teaching the first semester of second 
year Greek, but it may well be of use to others as well. This file was 
output from a database that I've created and contains the Greek word, 
actual frequency, card number in Gromacki's Vocab. Cards, and an English 
gloss. As to "Why 27x?"--here's why: in my first year classes students 
learn words occurring 50 or more times in the NT. In second year they 
review all these words in two large chunks at the beginning of the semester 
and then learn 25 new words per week for 9 more weeks. [Note: I have just 
posted an updated, corrected copy of this file. 12/27/00]

Basic Greek Vocabulary
<http://faculty.bbc.edu/rdecker/documents/elgkvoc.pdf>
(84k .pdf file) This document contains all NT Greek words that occur 50 
times or more in the NT, sorted by chapter in Mounce's Basics of Biblical 
Greek. It includes the same info as the previous listing in the same 
format. [Note: I have just posted an updated, corrected copy of this file.
