  Dear Carl,

TOUTO OUN BOULOMENOS MHTI ARA THi ELAFRIAi ECRHSAMHN? H hA BOULEUOMAI KATA
SARKA BOULEUOMAI, hINA Hi PAR EMOI TO NAI NAI KAI TO OU OU?

 >I won't essay to go beyond "the H conjunction," as you put it.

Well, I for one would be very interested in your take on the rest of the 
verse. For example, does H introduce an
alternative to, or a clarification of, the preceding clause? And what do 
you make of the hINA clause? Are the
second NAI and OU predicates, or oath formulae, or are NAI NAI and OU OU 
just emphatic forms of NAI
and OU? Does the fronting of PAR' EMOI constrain the options?

Many thanks.
Paul Toseland
