Greetings: In Gen 9.27 Accordance tags PLATUNAI as present active indicative. If memory serves me right, though, this is an aorist active optative. In this case PLATUNAI would be a voluntative optative and PLATUNAI hO QEOS TWi IAFEQ would mean something like, "May God make room for Japheth." Does this seem right? ============ Steven R.
