My thanks for that correction, and my apologies to the list for a "blind" 
copy-and-paste operation on the citation in the "Overview of Syntax" page; 
"engage brain before hitting SEND key " is always good policy on any list <g>

Darrell correctly transcribed the verb in Ho. 12:1 as KEKLHSETAI, and that 
is what i entered in the Perseus analysis engine.
What I failed to do was to read the " Overview of Sysntax " citation 
carefully before copying it and sending it to the list; if I had done so, I 
assume I would have observed the iota subscript under the H in the 
reference  to Aristophenes' "Lysistrata" at line 1071, where the verb 
form  is KEKLHiSETAI.

Regards

Maurice
