I realized that I forgot to write nom. pl. masc. of what.
I was just going to correct that, but lo and behold, I have an answer already,
Thanks.
In the 1st book of the Iliad line 104 the dative of the 3rd person personal pronoun is used in this way (I think).
OSSE DE hOI PURI LAMPETOWNTI EIKTHN.
"and his eyes were like blazing like fire"
Did this come into disuse in Koine?
Ps. Sorry to have to ask an English Grammar question but could you explain the difference between 'adnominal' and 'pronominal'? The scant entries in the dictionary weren't of much help to me.
Thanks
