Thank you for your reply to my question regarding "META with
the genitive."
Wallace said: Older NT grammars generally denied that
prepositions govern their cases.
Would it not be correct to say that META with the genitive
can be an adverbial phrase ONLY if it is found in a context
where that prepositional phrase can ONLY be said to
characterize a verb.
I have understood that META with the genitive is adjectival
because of case. I have also understood that META with the
accusative is adverbial because of case.
My next question is: In Biblical Greek is the prepositional
phrase META with the accusative ever adjectival or is it
always adverbial?
