Hmmm....

For me, the question boils down to this: Is the Subjunctive Aorist 
generally used for future reference? I am handicapped by the fact that 
Gramcord is not working on my computer right now and I have no books in 
front of me.

I remember earlier discussion of the similarity in meaning *and* morphology 
between the future and the subjunctive aorist. My memory may be hazy. And 
I'm a list owner, not a Greek expert.

Anyone able to shed light on this?

Jonathan
