Subject: Use of TE


Although this is perhaps off subject, following up on the last post, I  
wondered how a person should properly use TE in Ancient Greek  
composition besides the obvious TE KAI construction such as DIA TAUTA  
hO EN THi POLEI ARCHHGOS APEPEMPSE TAS GUNAIKAS TE KAI TOUS PAIDOUS  
where it functions linking the objects together as opposed to TAS  
GUNAIKAS KAI TOUS PAIDOUS KAI TOUS ANDRAS. It's also used in the  
classic construction OIOS TE EIMI +INFINITIVE, but how does it  
function in constructions beyond these? What's the difference between  
it and a KAI?
