Greetings, everyone,
Mt. 26: 26 reads, in part: "LABWN hO IHSOUS ARTON KAI EULOGHSAS EKLASEN
KAI DOUS TOIS MAQHTAIS EIPEN. . ." This seems to be an instance wherein
the definitions of both brachylogy and ellipse overlap. the element that I
see being left out is ARTON. However, if it were included in each instance
where it "would make the thought or the grammatical construction complete"
(Smyth, 3017), there probably would be pronouns in its place. Would this
still be an example of brachylogy or ellipse?
Thanks,
Tracey
