All,
Biblical Hebrew uses a phrase hapax legomia to describe words that either
where a root is used only once in the Scripture or there is a unique form of
a word in the text.
I know that there are many examples of something similar in the Greek New
Testament. Of course with Greek secular use of words outside the text is
more readily available for some words than in Hebrew. I was working on a
text the other day I Corinthians 6:2 where the phrase MHTI GE was used and
found that this was a unique usage in the text for this negative particle. I
searched for a long time through a lot of my library before I found a
reference to its meaning as: "not (to speak of)"
I was wondering if there is a reference book or reference books that list
words or phrases that fit this category in NT Greek, and provide some help
in determining their meaning.
Regards,
