Yes, I know it's entitled "... New Testament Greek," but when one defines a term that
applies to languages in general, I would think one's definition shouldn't make it sound like it
only applies to Greek. Since my copy is at home, I can't look at it right now, but I suspect
that in his definition of "nominative" he does not say: "The case _in the Greek language_
that denotes the subject of a clause or sentence." But then again, he might!

I thought you said you had this book at home; remember that it's
entitled "Pocket
Dictionary for the Study of New Testament GREEK" -- it's not trying
to give a
general introduction to Linguistics (but it IS very helpful in
explaining several
terms that Linguists use in describing languages generally, as well
as in
describing Greek.
