Dear Elizabeth,

Would not EKDECOMENOU require a genitive to follow since the preposition EK
requires a genitive? With compounds this may not be necessary, but I
remember something about compound words with EK requiring a subject in the
genitive with accusative direct object such as we have here. This could also
apply to other compounds with prepositions requiring a dative, etc. Maybe
Carl could comment on this?

En Xristwi,

Rev. Bryant J. Williams III
