To list members:
I would like to encourage others on this list to answer questions if you have the answers rather than leaving all questions up to Dr. Conrad. (He has not approved this message and may very well remove me from this list.)
It seems a bit unfair (this is just my personal opinion) to put that burden on him.
I recently asked this question:
> Can anyone please inform me as to why the classical
> HUDOKHSAN would become EUDOKHSAN in the NT period? Is
> EUDOKHSAN somehow still augmented? If not, is the change
> from HU- to EU- accounted for by their similarity in
> pronunciation (assuming they were)?
Mark L. attempted an answer from a Modern Greek viewpoint. If others have training in this area, please feel 'obligated' to help us who need help.
I realize we all have busy schedules, so I'm not asking everyone to respond to every message. Just a little common sense would be appreciated.
I know there are Greek teachers out here, and I would hope you have a heart for students who want to learn. I've tried on a few occasions myself to answer a question or two, and I hope after a few more years of study I'll be able to participate more. So, if you are still a rookie like me, this is not addressed to you. (There are a few others besides Dr. Conrad who have done their fair share; we all know who they are. And the ones who have not done their fair share know who you are :o )
I mean no disrespect to anyone. And in case I am banned from this site, I just want to thank everyone who has helped me with their insights.
Respectfully,
Mitch Larramore
