Beata,
Dzień dobry.
We are dealing with AN in connection with a subjunctive.
Then there are two possibilities:
- a futuralis (pseudo-future)
- a generalis (describing what is generally done)
As the following POREUETAI and AKOLOUQEI are not in the future tense, we
have to choose for a generalis.

Onderwerp: [B-Greek] hOTAN versus hOTE
Does hOTAN have always to imply a conditional meaning since it contains AN?
Can it be just a synonim OF hOTE?
I'm thinking particularly about John 10:3-4:
KAI EXAGEI AUTA hOTAN TA IDIA PANTA EKBALH EMPROSQEN AUTWN POREUETAI
Or, does it mean that bringing the sheep out of the sheepfold by the
shepherd is the condition of his POREUESQAI?

grateful for any help
