Here is where Louwe & Nida come in handy. Under semantic domain 64
"Comparison" it has
64.12 hWS(a); hWSEI(a): relatively weak markers of a relationship between
events or statesas, like.
hWS(a): hHMERA KURIOU hWS KLEPTHS EN NUKTI hOUTWS ERXETAI the day of the
Lord comes like a thief in the night 1 Th 5.2; GENHQHTW SOI hWS QELEIS
may it happen to you as you wish Mt 15.28; TI ETI K'AGW hWS hAMARTWLOS
KRINOMAI? why then am I still judged as a sinner? Ro 3.7.
hWSEI(a) : EIDEN TO PNEUMA TOU QEOU KATABAINON hWSEI PERISTERAN he saw
the Spirit of God come down as a dove Mt 3.16; KAI EGENETO hWSEI NEKROS
and he became as dead Mk 9.26.
AND
64.14 KAQA; KAQWS(c); KAQO(a): markers of similarity in events and
states, with the possible implication of something being in accordance
with something elsejust as, in comparison to.
KAQA: KAQA SYNETACEN MOI KURIOS just as the Lord had ordered me Mt
27.10.
KAQWS(c) : KAQWS GAR EGENETO IWNAS TOIS NINEUITAIS SHMEION for just as
Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites Lk 11.30; KAWWS HGAPHSEN ME hO
PATHR the same way as the Father loved me Jn 15.9.
KAQO(a) : TI PROSEUCWMEQA KAQO DEI OUK OIDAMEN we do not know what we
should pray for as we ought to Ro 8.26.
Carl has Denniston's work on particles so perhaps he could be persuaded
to impart some wisdom.
