I would like to thank the person who offered this correction to the
rule which was ambiguous. It was not clear from the text that it was
the personal pronoun and not the substantive that was repeated.

	"In native [not translation] KOINE Greek when the copulative
	KAI connects two substantives of personal description in regimen
	[i.e. both or neither have articles] and the first substantive
	alone is modified by the personal pronoun in the genitive or _the
	personal pronoun_ is repeated for perspicuity [Winer 147-148;155]
	two persons or groups of persons are in view."

Sincerely,
Dan Parker
