Hanna, I am a linguist and Bible translator who has a special interest in
true linguistic idioms in languages of the world. So far, I have not found a
book which specializes in true linguistic idioms, whether they are Semitic
or Greek. Moule's book on idioms in New Testament Greek has very little on
what linguists today call idioms. So I have started my own lists of idioms.
My lists are not complete and I'm sure there are mistakes. You can find my
lists at these Internet addresses:
