My knee-jerk reaction to #1 was that it was wrong (and it is). I did,
however, run a morphological search specifying "Pronoun, 3s" without
giving the lemma on both the LXX and all other Greek texts (NA-27, W & H,
Tischendorf, Byz Maj, TR, etc.) and got 22,096 hits. That isn't as
outrageous as it sounds since it includes the summary total for all
resources and includes all 3 person pronouns such as AUTOS, EKEINOS,
hOUTOS, etc. In all of these I found not a single SOU (nor a Pfennig
either). I would suggest that you contact Gramcord and report the error.
On #2. GAR is a postpositive so it cannot be placed first in the clause.
It is therefore normal. You might check the lexicon regarding GAR (and
a few other words). It will likely tell you this.
