Dear List,
Randall's (IWANNOU) reply was interesting. It seems that one's ability to
compose in Greek is no doubt the best indicator of one's fluency in Greek. But
it does bring up another question of whether DUNAMI connotes permission or
ability in Koine that should be considered. It would be interesting to examine
all the combinations of DUNAMI + Inf. in questions in Koine literature to see if
it is ever used for permission.
So ladies and gentlemen of B-Greek, "Does it?"
En Xristwi,
Rev. Bryant J. Williams III
