Terry, thank you for the bibliography. When I say I can read, I mean that I
can without too much difficulty take Greek and make English out of it. There
are many times, though, when I do not comprehend the "why" behind the
"what." I cannot always explain why a particular voice, tense, or mood was
chosen, or why a certain word ordering. In fact, my classes focused very
little on word order.

Dr. Buth, I tried. It didn't go so well. I have done very limited
composition (especially oral). I also have no background in Classical Greek,
a detriment I'm sure. It was a useful exercise in showing me I have a long
way to go. It strikes me, though, that I have to improve my skill at
understanding what's really going on in the Greek language before I can
replicate it myself. Any suggestions?
