OK :-) Something less Nitty Gritty than that :-) I'm not talking about rare  
attic occurances. Just what will pop up in my Machen text and in the average  
reading of the NT.
 
I'm just getting frustrated with learning rules like "emphatic after  
preposition" only to use an emphatic after PROS and get it wrong,  because I wasn't 
told that PROS is an exception. 
 
I just wish someone had a nice comprehensive chart comparing the uses  of 
enclitic and emphatic pronouns. Right now I'm having to pick through a TON of  
resources. I'll get a couple sentences right, to just again hit a wall, and  
after research learn yet another rule that I wish was just told to me from the  
beginning. Now I just have this mess of notes.
 
I want some nice charts! Hasn't anyone ever made up charts???? In my mess  
I'm actually reading things, but forgetting them because it's all so  
disorganized. Sigh!
 
I'm guessing that it pretty rare for anyone to put alot of emphasis on the  
comp exercises in Machen or other Koine grammars. I just like to master a  
topic before moving on.

There is a lot of online material. Here is one article  with  nitty-gritty:
