Ladies and Gentlemen:
I was wondering whether anyone could provide some information or references
on the above construction.
Zerwick/Grosvenor (GAGNT) say that it is a shortened form of
APO THS hHMERAS hHi
and provide no further information.
Murray Harris says that it is an idiomatic form of AF hHMERAS hHi where the
dative singular rel. pronoun hHi has been attracted to the case of its
antecedent and the result of that in turn transferred to the relative
clause.
This is at least an explanation of sorts but leaves one thirsting for more.
There seems to be an awful lot of attraction going on -- and being
morphologically-minded, I'd like to know more. If there's anything out there
that will shed more light on attraction in general (err in a linguistic
context :-)), I'd be curious to read more...
Thanks
Stephen Baldwin
